Sorry, this won’t be of much help… Just want to add that I often use SPAN 2.2 and am currently trying the demo for Elephant 3(.7.2) without problems so far – offline bouncing, oversampling and all.
In Elephant 3 you can select to never use oversampling, always use it, or only during offline bouncing. Maybe Elephant 2 has a similar option you could try to disable it? Still, even if it’s related to oversampling, it wouldn’t explain why SPAN crashes for you… :-k
