Failed to save scene before system failure -error

I just today got the urge to finish a model of my house in XSI Mod Tools 6, but I found out they wont work. A Windows *boop* sound comes up along with a window that says "Failed to save scene before system failure." Then I have to close XSI. Any idea whats wrong?

Just my own theory, but could it be perhaps that since Autodesk bought out Softimage, they sent some update thing to my tools that causes them to cease function because Autodesk doesnt want anyone using free modeling tools? Probably not, but thats what I think.
But I also sort of think this because when I went to the Autodesk|Softimage website there was nothing about any sort of free tools anymore. Just an offer for a free trial.

the above Source link wrote:There is no one solution to this error. For some users, runonce.bat fixes the problem. For others, it is uninstalling QuickTime, and for others, reinstalling the graphics card driver.

Run Application\bin\runonce.bat.
Rename your Users folder (for example, rename C:\users\steve\Softimage\XSI_5.11 to C:\users\steve\Softimage\XSI_5.11.bak).
Delete any crash backup files in your Projects: look for folders like "Project-name\system\user-name\CrashBackup" and delete (or move) any crash backup files you find.
Reinstall the driver for your graphic card
Uninstall QuickTime (especially if you are running QuickTime + iTunes).
Update

If you get this error when you try to run 32-bit XSI on a 64-bit system, and you have Nod32, then try this:

Configure the Nod32 Internet monitor service (IMON) to exclude XSI.exe 32 bits version.
