Fresh install of 2.0.1 on a new Windows 8.1 system, when importing any model I get an Exception Encountered error "The following exception was encountered. Please restart the program. bad allocation" Any ideas?

Is this just one specific file? or every file you try?

It turns out it was some kind of issue with a network shared model file. I have a share on a Mac OS X (Mavericks) system with my 3D Models. I had been successfully printing them from a Win 7 laptop. I just purchased a Win 8.1 laptop, and got the error above when trying to print from it. If I copy the model to a local folder, Creator imports just fine - I thought I'd tried that last night, but I guess I hadn't. I'd like to continue doing what I had been doing, keeping the models on the Mac OS share, but this workaround is ok for now.
