  • Access violation crashes/media generator??

    Posted by Bob Mark on November 10, 2009 at 1:46 pm

    I am having numerous crashes with Vegas Pro 8.0c. I have many instances of media generator text on the timeline. I’m thinking this might be zapping my ram, but Task Manager shows plenty of ram available.

    I have 3 gigs of ram on the system. I have never had this issue before. Just playing the timeline will crash the program. I have diabled just about everything in the background and even created a minimal new profile for editing. I still get the crashes. Any suggestions? Adjust paging file size?

    Thanks.

    Hi bob
    what OS are you using?
    do you have more than one profile setup on your pc?
    If so, can you remember if you have chosen to keep the files and folders private for the profiles you have created. You would need to undo that.

    Hello Brandon. I’m using Win XP Media Center. I tried adding a profile to see if that helped, but it didn’t. I need to find a work around on this. Thanks.

    Hi Bob, The reason why i asked if you have more than one profile is because i installed Vegas 8.1 64bit edition on the administrator profile of the my Windows XP 64bit version. I then started using Vegas without any trouble but i had other users who needed to use my computer and therefore i felt that i needed to protect the Administrator profile where i installed vegas. Under control panel, user accounts i changed my files and folders to be private. And when i needed to use Vegas again i also got the access violation error when i open Vegas. At first i did not know what could have cause this as is was a fresh installation and i did not install any other programs except for Vegas. I Then realized that it could only have been when i made the files and folders private under user accounts. I changed it back to what it was and vegas opened fine with no access violation problem.

    The point I’m making is that somehow vegas is trying to access files it needs to work with in your timeline somehow vegas cant seem to access these files. Have you maybe moved any of your project files around on your computer? or have you make any recent change on another program that could of modified system files and folders before you started getting access violation errors?

    Hope this helps for you, good luck!

    Thanks for your reply. I think I may have one of two problems. Either too many instances of media generator text on the timeline or maybe a corrupt clip. Vegas is causing memory access crashes. I get error 0xC0000005. This is a known problem with Vegas, but I have not been able to find a good answer to it. Thanks for your input.
