OBI crashing when creating a view on an analysis (initially created table view works fine)

Question

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It seems pretty wierd because the initial view gets created.
This is what happens:
I create a new analysis. Data source doesn't matter. I have tried Sample App Lite & 2 different Essbase cubes.
Drop some columns on the criteria
Click Results. It displays a table view. I can save it and view it etc.
If I try to create a 2nd view of any type including another table the front-end will hang, displaying "Processing, please wait"
Logging onto the server we will see that there is a windows dialog box stating "nqssserver.exe has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution........"
It eventually times out. I think nqsserver.exe restarts by itself. The view doesn't get created.
OBI 11.1.1.7
Any ideas?

Hi Daniel,
We need to dive to much more granular level, to identify the cause for this kind of issue. Some analysis on the coredump (search for .dmp) produced by your windows OS using Windebug utility, running through console~obis1.log etc might have to be done to catch the culprit.
Note: I do not remember exactly, but there is are configuration steps available in my oracle support, to enable core dump on windows boxes (at least for Dr Watson though!!). You might want to have a look.
If you think there are any visible messages in the log, you could post here; I could help you read through them.
