Subject:Sound Forge 5.0f not running... Posted by: Scarlett Date:11/24/2002 1:06:41 AM I previously had version 5.0 on this machine (using Windows XP Home Edition) and it was running perfectly, besides the plug-ins not loading, which was the reason why i thought i'd update it... as its suppose to be XP compliant. Now it won't run at all. It crashes almost as soon as it runs, in the "Scanning for audio plug-ins" phase when i get a RUNDLL error message that says, "An exception occured while trying to run "FRGKRN.dll,_SfPlugIn_Grovel@16-1 Sonic_Foundry_Grovel_Event". Any help?

Reply by: MarkWWW Date:11/24/2002 4:20:47 AM If I recall correctly when this came up last it was traced to an early version of Waves Autotune - either the plugin itself or the PACE anti-piracy system it uses. If you have Autotune (or possibly one of the other Waves plugins) installed you might try temporarily removing it to see if that will solve the problem. If so then you've found the culprit and you will need to get a later version of Autotune or PACE which doesn't cause the problem.

Reply by: Scarlett Date:11/24/2002 3:38:13 PM i don't think i have Waves Autotune... i've never even heard of it before. i did a clean install when i updated to 5.0f, so the only plug-ins its using are the ones that were installed with Sound Forge. DX being Direct X right, geoff? I don't recall ever updating it after XP.. so it must be using the version that came with it, i'll try that though.

Reply by: Scarlett Date:11/27/2002 9:53:50 PM ..just for the record i couldn't update DirectX as its already got the latest version (until 9.0 is released). Problem persists... i'm just using the original 5.0 version again (hopefully temperarily), since it does work.. but none of the plug-ins load for some reason. Would someone perchance know how to fix that if nothing else?

Check each tab for the hopefully "no problems" comment. You can also run DirectSound and other DX tests. This should varify no DX problems. Uninstall SF/s. Analog X has a free DX plugin utility to remove plugins, remove all then reinstall SF, if it launches correctly then reinstall one plugin at a time checking launching SF after each reinstall to find the culprit. www.analogx.com/ MJ

Reply by: Scarlett Date:11/27/2002 11:28:04 PM i'd do that... but i don't know where most of the audio plug-ins i have came from, so i wouldn't know how to reinstall them. i assume most, if not all of them, were installed with Windows. i did do the DirectX tests though, no problems.
