Hi Borden,

We have seen this message also through Talkback from other users. This is caused by a bug in Quartus where Windows resource handles were not being freed after use. We have identified cases that would trigger this condition and have resolved them for Quartus II 7.2. Can you add which windows were open when the crash occurs e.g. the names of the editor windows, the different report windows etc?
