System : Toshiba Netbook
Processor : Intel Atom II
Ram : 2gb
Programs Open : Google Chrome, Scrivener, Trillian, iTunes
Symptom : Upon pressing the auto-populate button in the upper right corner of the inspector, and with a blank document in the writing pane, the system will try to auto populate the synopsis card without success. This results in the program hanging and requiring a reboot to fix.
I just had the same issue, due to the ‘I wonder what this button does’ disease. Scrivener was unresponsive, I waited two minutes, forced closed through Task Manager, restarted Scrivener and everything looked swell again. Did not lose any info, probably due to the super fast auto save.
No sweat!
