Unable to create image buffer

What can I do when this happens? By the way, it happens when I put the pen pressure. I hope that experts can respond to me.

Correct answer n. tilcheff

I'd start by

updating Windows,

then the graphics driver,

then the tablet driver,

and finally installing the latest version of Animate separately to see if it happens there too.

 

Any of these might resolve the issue or not, so I'd restart the computer and check at every step. 

While Windows and nVidia drivers are generally quite well-tested and solid, tablet drivers for devices other than Wacom seem to suffer from all kinds of issues and so does Animate.

This has happened to me many times, but I still haven't been able to find a way to fix it. But when this happens my screen usually goes black and if I don't touch anything I can save my work but when I press anything on the keyboard or draw my screen goes black and this error appears and no matter what I do, I can't close it. There is still a way to save your project after this happens. Press Ctrl + S quickly and several times and press enter to save your project after several attempts

learn to save your fla files frequently with increasing version number appended.  ie, for project1, save project1_v000.fla, project1_v001.fla etc.

 

periodically close and reopen the most recent version to confirm it's not corrupted.  if it's not, you can delete previous versions.

While it is a pain, I restart my dell labtop and it will pop up the unclosed animate tab. If you click cancel on the restart, it will put you back at animate where you can save. Although, the image buffer will reappear so you need to restart your computer.
