I'm a Soundforge user since 3.0 and purchased the update to SF6 a few minutes ago, although it's a bit weird that I payed like 350$ (4.0, I think), then 99$ for 5.0 as everybody who never payed before, now 129$ as if I had never payed for the 5.0. But I'm addicted to SF, what should I do :/

Anyway, build 99 crashed with a memory-read error after the splash screen, build 132 does the same. No problem with SF 4.5 and 5.0f.

I'm running Win2k on a Dual P3-700, DX8 installed.

Maz, Kern: please list your exact system specs. This should not be happening (and doesn't on thousands of machines).

I'm running Win XP Pro with 2 Athlon MP1900's on a Tiger MPX motherboard with 1GB Registered EEC DDR Ram, GF4600Ti graphics & a Terratec DMX 6Fire 24/96 soundcard. SF5 runs OK, SF6 loads, asks for demo vs license. I click demo, it scans for plugins or something and then just closes the program. Nothing listed in the event log that might help.

Any ideas

Thanks

ah. got the same thing here. winXP - terratec ews88MT, pIII - 1gHz. did system restore - and now i can't see DX Favorites in SF menu. One more thing - Acid during start reply with message, than "An Error occured starting ACID. The reason for the error could not be determined". Maybe something wrong with directx plugins cache?

I'm having some odd issues too. Quite different specs...

Sound Forge 5 is doing this exact thing on Windows XP. Scans for plug-ins, then just quits.

I can load Sound Forge 6.0, but there's no option for DirectX plugins. There's just nothing there on the toolbar, where normally you'd find the drop-down list of DirectX plugins. What the hell...??

Of course everything worked just great under 98. So much for 'upgrading'...
