XpressPro grief
Hi,
I’ve been running 5.2.4 with few problems on an HP a1140n. This has an XP Media Center OS, which I understand may be problematic.
However, in the last week, I can’t even launch Avid because I’m getting multiple ACCESS_VIOLATION errors. I’ve tried various things, including deleting settings & MCSTATE, changing permissions, and adding a new admin user, all without any meaningful improvements. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Mark, have you been following your thread over at the Avid Forums? To reiterate what was said there, it’s probably your graphics card (or rather, LACK of graphics card)…onboard graphics usually doesn’t play well with Avid. Get a Nvidia card (ideally a certified one) and that should solve your problem.
HOWEVER, before you shell out money on a video card, try pressing/holding O and G when starting up XPro. See if that fixes your issues. If no errors, it’s your video card…I’d bet money on it.
Keep us posted…
