    Had Vine crash on you, or refuse to start? -- We are sorry for the inconvenience. This isn't the experience we were hoping you would have with Vine, and we would like to make it better. This post lists some of the causes to crashes, and what can be done.

    Known issues
    There is currently one known issue that could cause the Microsoft Vine beta to crash. There could be more issues lurking in there that we do not know about yet. As those are reported, we will list them here.

    1. Not English, or outside the United States
    When Windows is set to use a locale and language different from English (United States), Vine sometimes crashes when it attempts to start, or when you click the "Places" button at the top of the Vine window. The issue is under investigation and will be fixed when possible. Vine is known to work well within the United States and with a US locale. One temporary solution could be to set the operating system locale to English (United States) and start Vine again.

    What to do when Vine crashes
    If you encounted another type of Vine crash, please post a note on this forum. We will attempt to reproduce the issue and fix it when we can. We will likely ask you for information that will help us reproduce and isolate the problem, including:

    1. Some information about the computer and operating system you are using with Microsoft Vine.
    2. Vine log files, which may shed some light on what Vine was trying to do just before it crashed.
    3. In some circumstances, we may ask you to run the Vine diagnostic script, which logs additional information about the computer, in order to help identify the cause of the problem.
