LDD crash?

[LegoCityFanatic]

I was building a model in LDD and by the 320th brick a message appeared and it said something about the program crashing because of some graphical problems. Now it is switched into Compatibility mode! Unfortunately, my model wasn't saved and I have to start from square 1 again. But I really want to ask you is what it means and what I could do to solve it. If you need to know, my computer is a new Windows 7 Asus computer and the graphics card excels the programs demands by times. It is a strange problem. Also, how do I get out of Compatibility mode?

...how do I get out of Compatibility mode?

Once you are in LDDextended mode, press Edit-->Preferences. There is a little slider bar at the bottom of that screen to adjust the Compatibility Mode Level. Mine is slid all the way to the left (off).

Since you seem to have a capable computer, try setting the Advanced Graphics while you are on the Preferences screen. You can outline the individual bricks in white outlines, and set up high-quality rendering and shading.

Thank you so much! It worked entirely and completely. I guess the error message was trying to tell me that too, but not in understandable English
