You’re using the demo version still, right? (too lazy to scroll all the way up the thread) It will work in x64, but if you decide to purchase, you’ll have to contact wondertouch support since we haven’t released an x64 version yet officially.

So are you saying that you removed the DivX codecs and ffdshow and it still crashed? That means the list is now:

ATIYUV12.DLL
Fraps Video Decompressor
mcdv-pro.dll
PICVideo MJPEG Codec
Pinnacle PIM1 32-bit AVI Codec

If you still have the installers for these codecs, or know how they were installed (so can reinstall them), then remove one at a time and see what happens.

You’re correct — we’ll never send email attachments unless we’ve already been discussing an issue and have said that we’re going to send an attachment.

Keep those virus scanners up-to-date!

So here’s the updated list of codecs that have not been verified:

ATIYUV12.DLL
ffdshow Video Codec
Fraps Video Decompressor
mcdv-pro.dll
PICVideo MJPEG Codec
Pinnacle PIM1 32-bit AVI Codec

and this one is probably ok:
IYVU9_32.dll

although the correct name may be: IYUV9_32.dll

If it were my system, I’d remove one of the duplicate codecs as a first step.

If that doesn’t do it, I think we’ll need people to help out here and list their codecs as well, so we can figure out which ones are fine, then by a process of elimination, we should be able to narrow it down to a couple of codecs that might be the problem.

I forgot to say how to do this: Start – Settings – Control Panel – Sounds and Audio devices. Then click the “hardware” tab, select “video codecs” from the bottom of the list, then click the “properties” button. Then switch to the “properties” tab.

You can take a screengrab of that and send it to me as a jpg or something (at wondertouch support).

I think there’s a codec that you have installed that is causing problems for pIllusion. Can you give me a list of the codecs that are installed on your machine?

Yes it will, using Rosetta. It’s slower than it should be, but it works. I should say that we haven’t tested every feature, but the basics (at least) work.

EVERY particleIllusion effect uses images for the particles. To change the letters, words, etc., you just need to change the images that are used.
