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). |

Pelvis 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 The Col |

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'... |
