Thank you. Alex B.

I would venture to say it has something to do with Win2k SP3. I hope the SF techs can look into this. This is not just a fatal error, its a SYSTEM FREEZE. Yes mouse moves, but nothing else responds. I even tried the hotkeys for shutting down, which can work in situations when it just a graphics image freeze. Nope, this one requires pulling the plug. Which isn't very often with Win2k. I will try uninstalling the SP3 to see if it is a reversable issue, or not. Jeffy82@aol.com.

I guess it only affects W2K and XP since my Sonic Foundry apps work fine in 98. Try rolling back to the original Catalyst and see what happens.

Hello,

I wanted to give a try to the new version of Sound Forge 6.

It simply doesn’t start on my desktop but does start on my laptop.

One major difference is that I have a TV card in my desktop (Pinnacles PCTV) and I saw in the readme file that that if you have a Hauppauge TV card you should delete the extmondrv.dll and since many TV card have the same TV chip I decided to give it a try but it dosen’t change any thing…

I see the Vega or Sound Forge 6 logo after I chose to start as demo and then after a few second my computer stop working only the mouse is still moving, but when I click with the mouse the computer freeze…

Any idea?

This is a small hardware list of my computer

PIII 866 on an ABIT BE6-II
512mb Sdram 133mhz
ATI Radeon 8500 (BBA driver version is Catalyst 2.2)
SB-Live ! with the latest drivers
Pinnacles PCTV driver 5.10
All this under Windows 2000 SP3

Note : my laptop is also under Windows 2000 SP3 and it is an HP OmniBook 6000, not really suited for sound editing since it only has 128mb of ram and a slow hard drive.

Thank you.
