I agree, the UT is really not crashing, but merely not readily visible.
I use the old Windows technique of alt-tab to cycle through what
applications are open. The UT always comes up this way.

>From my experience this is not a "crash" but more a problem of the UT
projection window coming up behind the main MI window an you cant get at
it
to respond.
Before you start UT reduce the size of the main MI window so it does not
cover the centre of the screen. Then start UT and when the projection
window comes up it will be (partly)
visible and you can click on it to respond and normal operation can
continue.
Not nice but a "work around".

Drew,
This is not just a quirk with your system, I have run into this same
problem
using MI 5.0, Win 95. To say it was frustrating would be an
understatement.
I have managed to work around it by using the Control/Alt/Delete keys to
end
the
UT task after the "crash" occurs i.e. after pressing the projection
button. This will *magically* bring up the Projection window and I can
then continue
as
per normal. I'm not sure if this will work on NT but it may be worth a
try.
I have never got the "out of disk space for temporary files" message, but
like
you I would think this has nothing to do with the crashing problem using
Universal Translator.
MapInfo Corp...you can't fool us by saying this is a FEATURE.
Regards,
from the great white north.

When trying to translate a *.shp file, UT crashes when the Projection
button
is pushed. Only resurrection on this NT system is to End Task. Once
while
doing so I found an error message window giving something like "out of
disk
space for temporary files". Given that there is actually plenty of disk
space available, there must be some other source for the error. Any
ideas?
Thanks,
Drew
