Hey, my LDD keeps closing itself, if I try to use the Decoration tool, which prevents me from putting faces into my minifigs. If anyone could help, that'd be great.

Please? It's really bugging me.

Is it any time you try to use the decoration tool, or only on minifig parts? If it's only with minifigure parts, it could be that the graphics requirements of showing the full options palette is just too demanding. Maybe see if it gives you the same error when trying to decorate part 30261 (which has just one decoration option). On a related note, does this happen only with a particular mode? Is the Paint Bucket tool on DesignByMe mode (which works about the same as the decoration tool in other modes) able to generate decorated minifigure faces without difficulty? These would all be useful things to know.

Also, it'd help to know what settings you have for your preferences. Possibly turning down or turning off some of the optional graphics like brick outlines, high-quality rendering, and advanced shading might make it work. I can't offer much more advice than that, since I'm not too knowledgeable about the technical aspects of the LDD software.

I use the Lego Universe mostly. Whenever I use the Decoration Tool, it stops for a few seconds, then closes.
