So what's happening? What version of Project? What are you doing to make it
crash? What version of Windows and What patches to Project have you applied?

Crashing of software is different than crashing a schedule. Which one do you
need help on?

Crashing a schedule involves finding the critical path (which can be done
after you have built a network diagram or pert chart) then using resources
(i.e. people) to shorten the critical path...

The critical path requires a network diagram and duration estimates.
Duration estimates can be single values or a range of values (PERT uses a
range of values - which you use to calculate an average). Using the average
value as your duration estimate, MSP calculates a forward pass and a
backward pass. These to "passes" through the network highlight the critical
path..

Hope that helps,
Mark
