RA2 randomly crashes in bot lab.

Title says it all.

I dont know how or what caused it but Im about to go on a rampage here because I was in the process of making a MW popup and it crashes.

I've moved to other forums. Under a different name. This is where it all began.

can you give us any more information at all?
when did it crash? while you were wiring the robot or testing it?
How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Runtime error or failed to respond message?
-RA2 tends to stop communicating with the OS when dialog boxes are open (the settings and controls popups are notoriously problematic). Runtime errors can be caused by a number of things but they are almost always fixable. Sometimes, replacing the EXE with a new copy fixes things but, if it doesn't, please provide us with the answers to the following questions.

Are you doing anything specific when it crashes?
-The botlab is one of the most complicated aspects of RA2 so providing more details will help us diagnose any issues that you may be having.

Do you have any mods installed?
-Since you said it crashed in the botlab, I only care about the mods that alter the GIBs, components, or max sphere. I don't recall any of these being able to crash the game but its still a possibility. If you are including the practice arena under the botlab umbrella and the issue occurs before/after/while it is loaded up, it would very helpful to know if the practice arena has been modded.

Did you do any bot file editing?
-You probably would have said it crashed when you went into the botlab or garage if this was your issue but it doesn't hurt to ask.
