Description:
Anytime I try to open the data modeling functionality the workbench crashes with the following error:

System.AccessViolationException was unhandled
  HResult=-2147467261
  Message=Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

  InnerException: 

This error occurs in Workbench 6.1.7, 6.0.9 and 5.2.47

How to repeat:
When I start a "New Model" and try to "Add a Diagram" or open an existing model diagram.

Can you paste the output of Help -> System Info?

System Properties -> Performance

Attachment: system_props_preformance.png (image/png, text), 83.14 KiB.

I always run windows set to "Adjust for best performance" in the System Properties -> Performance window.  I recently switched it to "Adjust for best appearance" and  Workbench no longer crashes when I try to access the data modeler.

Switching back to "Adjust for best performance" will continuously crash Workbench when I try to access the data modeler.

I could not repeat even changing Windows Adjust for best performance. Please try Development Releases 6.2.2 rc version. Thanks.
