Hi Bill,

Baz really knows his stuff. If i get a mail from him with an issue he has seen i know we have a bug even before we try to repo (-:

Seriously though, he is probably the best beta tester i have, EVERY time he has reported something, he has been right and his investigations and descriptions allow us to track the bug down very quickly and do a point update.

Cheers,

Regards,

And an even better solution I use is to use Norton Ghost or PartImage and make a copy of a freshly installed XP system. A lot less work than switching hard drives !

Takes some 10 minutes to restore an image…

Matt:

No doubt Baz knows his stuff. Since there are a relative few having the crashing problem, I wonder if all or most of us are working with long-form projects with many hundreds or thousands of clips in the bins (and/or on the timeline)? Well known for its sorry memory-handling ability, I’m convinced my PPro 1.5 problems are somehow memory-related, since the project that’s giving me all the grief features a 40mb project file and over 5,000 clips in the bins.

As a test, I created a New Project with the same settings (10-bit Uncmprsd, NTSC, etc) and imported 100 or so clips. Tried everything I could think of the make it crash and couldn’t.

I continue to beseech all the gods that PPro 2.0 will be 64-bit and your BMD drivers would quickly support it. Perhaps only then will those of us working in long-form be allowed to join the rapture.

Hi Claus-Peter Wolf and Bill,

I’m also using BMD extreme with validated motherboard
and system. I’ve been having this ” Adobe shutdown error ”
problem and till now have no solution from BMD.

Any idea of how to solve this problem after telephone session
with Andrew-BMD Pc support?

Thanks

Daniel
