What is; Access Violation Error

thebski75 wrote on 1/15/2013, 12:26 PM

I'm using Video Pro X4 and I have just put in a new graphic card, when I go into program settings and do any thing it comes up with this Error message saying ''Access Violation'' it also says ''Attention! The current project was saved automatically. However internal memory structures may be damaged that do not enable correct saving. It is recommended that the movies are saved with new names for further editing''

I can not work out what is going on here, the graphic card I put is working and a better one,

Can any one help?

Since no-one else has answered your question (perhaps because we'd all be guessing)!..

It would appear that VPX has "taken exception" to something on your system - could be the new graphics card - OR its own installation has somehow become corrupted. I have VPX4 and, in general, I find it very stable but, when it does start to display seemingly random "errors" and to behave in unexpected ways, my experience is the "best" solution is to uninstall and reinstall! (I keep a screenshot of any customizations I've made in Program Settings or the "import" screen (links to particular folders)) and then proceed to uninstall, using Revo Uninstaller before reinstalling, re-registering and restoring all my customizations. Yes, it is tedious and rather time-consuming but, in my experience, tends to sort out any problems I've met; the "Repair" option for me at least, rarely achieves any improvement!

Following a recent 'Access Violation' crash, I took all the usual precautions and very carefully restored my programme after saving under another name, as a precaution. Everything is now working correctly again, EXCEPT that the 'size/position' setting in 'Zoom' under 'effects' has defaulted from'100 percent' to '90 percent' with the image in the left-hand monitor window showing a black margin surrounding it. The situation is easily able to be put-right, by selecting each clip (together or in-bulk) and manually changing the setting to '100 percent'. There is also a horizontal offset of the image to be corrected as well. I am not vitally, concerned with my current project, as image-wise it is complete, with everything OK. What I would like to know, is will future projects be similarly affected as a result of the crash, or if I began a new project, tomorrow, would I find that the settings have defaulted to the correct '100 percent' as they ought to be? In short, is the problem likely to be specific to the software installation, or the project-saves (including auto-saves) following the crash? Of course, I know that a re-installation will likely fix the problem; I'm just interested in alternative 'fixes', in case the problem occurs again.

Computer is Intel i7-based and highly specified, with a top-grade graphics-card and 16gB of Ultra-fast 'Kingston' RAM.

Does it mention a specific xxxxxx.dll that is causing the problem?

Are you on the latest driver from the card manufacturers website (not NVidia or AMD's website)?

Your computer specification and the new graphics card make, model and specification in addition to the other information requested will help us give you a more informed answer.

@kurtis-veith

You have resurrected a 5 year old topic in the Video Pro X forum - Music Maker has its own forum here - please post your issue there, including details of you computer system and Music Maker version - see this topic for what is required and the full error message text.
