I've been using sandbox for a while now, but registered today. I have a windows 7, and Sandbox runs fine, but, after awhile, it just close... What is the problem(oh, forgot, It's a 64x windows 7)

Might want to take a look at the Sandbox FAQ.

Thanks, now I figured it out. It only close in FPS mode, not in the other modes. Maybe because of launcher or something.
Edit: It happened again...

actually, when I use my laptop, sandbox and saurbraton both just randomly close. I do have windows 7.

ive had this problem too, but only in the editor, i could be playing for hours in RPG, FPS, and SSP Mode, and it wont close, then when i go into edit mode in either of them, and start modifying the map, it lets me for about 30 mins, then it starts lagging and then closes randomly. I may try the Virtual Machine in XP Mode for Win 7 and see if it fixes this problem, as usual, ill send you a report when I try it with the results

go and see if your video card's manufacturer has a new driver available, if not, try downgrading to an older version.
I have the feeling you're using an ATI card, and that this is the notorious leak when drawing lines.

alternatively you can download the SVN, a workaround has been added for this issue

wait... What? Im using the ATI Card transplanted from my old machine that runs XP and the card has very recently been updated. an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, it worked fine on my XP machine, infact. it works BETTER on my Win 7 machine. i could blame the fault on my twin Dual Core processor. i much prefer my older one. and perhaps my lack of memory, instead of my preferred 4GB im using 2GB. although it beats my original 1GB. Ill upgrade my PC as i go along. My 16 bday tomorrow so i may be able to get a few new PC components.
