As the title says. I can load tables that other people have made and use them without any problems, but when I try to scan for a number, Cheat Engine stops responding immediately after its done compiling the list. I have to exit out of the program and restart it to get it work again. Anybody have any ideas?

pethaps your temp folder is invalid, full, or 'protected'

go to settings-scan settings and tick the option to specify a custom scanfolder. The select a folder that you know has space free and readwrite access

I tried it, but no luck. It's weird that everything works fine until after it finishes a new scan.

It freezes immediately after it completes a new scan. It won't even let me select menu options; windows just says program not responding. I've tried it on various video games and on chrome. (Most recent game I tried was Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel).

Strangely, the tutorial works fine. I'm flummoxed by this. Thanks for your responses, btw.

try doing a scan for the value 0 with type set to binary in the tutorial
See if that ends up freezing CE

Are you using the 32 or 64 bit ce version?
And is this windows, mac or linux?

I get an error message when I tried it as Decimal. When I switched to Bits, it froze CE. I'm using the windows version at the top of the cheat engine web page (CheatEngine70.exe). Then I just use the link it creates to Cheat Engine.exe. My operating system is Windows 10 home.

how much diskspace do you have free?
Perhaps there's not enough space to write the scanresults

also, it's possible your anti-virus is intercepting the writes and bugs out there

Disk space is not an issue. The only anti-virus I have is Windows 10 Defender. Could that be the problem?
