Suddenly Getting Errors

No idea what's going on, I have version 4.21 and everything was fine till today. All I'm doing is trying to set up a scene to render. I added my model and started adding clothes (albiet made for another model) and Daz crashed. Reading the info after saving it, seems most my stuff now has errors, something about not connecting, which they're not suppose to be doing in the first place, my Daz is not set up to be connected to the net. All my stuff is manually installed on external drives, except for the main program.

Double check the Drive names? Esp. when using more than 1 the naming may become changed. i.e. C, D, E, F ... if F became E and E became F, all the calls for content on those drives would not be found.
Did you already start a render process or were you only setting things up? While I don't have issues when setting up scenes I have experienced a few crashes whenever I was rendering a scene with Iray. Also using the latest D.S. version.
It was while I was setting up a scene, was fitting a hair to the model at the time. I've included the file I saved that states what I talked about.
All the errors on that log I wasn't even using in my scene.
Have you unchecked "Show Login Page" and "Automatically Login With Remembered Credentials" in DS Preferences -> Startup?
That's exactly what mine looks like. My Daz is not connected to the net, I use it offline, always have. The only extra I have ever used is Dim when I first installed the program (manually) cause it need psq thingy which I could get with DIM, otherwise, everything is installed manually.
Ok, the errors in that log are very old.
What does the DS log say, Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File ?
I actually came to see if anyone else was running into issues. Daz has been very stable for me but over the last two days I have suddenly just started having multiple crashes.
If you didn't do anything, did Windows 'update' itself?
Went thru the Daz log file to fine and copy only the section related to Oct 8th since this happened yesterday. The entire log file actually covers an entire week and I doubt you want to check all that lol
Here's the copy from it.
Normally DS log does not 'log' the crash let alone a potential reason.... You either get the information from that ' fatal error dialogue box' (if there's any) when DS crashes or check Window's Mini dump file with WinDbg.
If the last action you were trying to do was using the Transfer Utility, there is/was [depends upon edition and if it was fixed] a glitch which acts differently on different systems.
Before running the transfer utility: EITHER select the clothing OR select "nothing" in the scene tab, then run the utility. One way or the other should work.
The log file also says your graphics driver is old and does not meet the minimum required version.
Although I see your graphics card is GeForce GTX 650/PCIe/SSE2, which probably isn't even supported anymore.
Or... with final steps, it seems a loading of Poser format garments, or with auto-fit or something ? If I encountered the similar crash with General Release, then I would try it with Public Build.
Wasn't using transfer utility, only fitting poser stuff to Genesis and yes my card is old and no longer supported, working on getting a new one, but kinda hard with Christmas coming and a new grand child on the way.
Where do I find "Window's Mini dump file with WinDbg." and ' fatal error dialogue box'.
Congratulations on the coming soon new grandchild!
Congrats first!
How did your DS crash... the application session suddenly disappeared or a dialogue box popped up to show you the crash message ? If it was the latter, you may see the detailed fatal error information there.
For mini dump, you may first check the folder C:\Windows\Minidump, see if there's any latest dump file. If there's nothing in the folder or not dated recently, this way won't help.
Thank you both and Daz just disappeared, no warning or anything.
There are still newer drivers for it.

Go to "Beta and older drivers"
I have all the drivers available for my card, my son made sure I was up to date when he put the computer together and we got everything installed
