Unhandled Application Error -ACID Product Family - MAGIX Community Forums Archive

Subject:Unhandled Application Error Posted by: jankarha Date:5/6/2003 4:42:03 PM I have downloaded acid pro 4.0 demo (build317). But when I have installed it and tries to run it the errormessage "Unhandled application error" pops up and the splash window locks up in the middle of my screen. When i try to close this window a new message comes up saying "a crash has occured in acid40.exe" The same thing happens with 3.0g demo. I have tried almost every solution in this forum, but none have worked. I have tried installing it many times. I have no other music programs on my computer. Spec: WinXP Pro ASUS A7v8x Motherboard Athlon XP2000 CPU 512 MB ram Soundblaster 1024 soundcard Geeforce 4 TI graphics card Every driver on my computer is completely up to date.
Subject:RE: Unhandled Application Error Reply by: Iacobus Date:5/6/2003 10:36:20 PM I take it you've tried the easiest ways: -Turn off everything in the Systray and any other background-running apps like antivirus and instant messengers. -Turn down video acceleration. -Tried any of the tips at MusicXP.net. -Used the "less is better" philosophy. (Keeping hardware and software installed to an absolute minimum; use only what you absolutely need.) In addition, have you tried a brute force method, such as reformatting your system? HTH, Iacobus
Subject:RE: Unhandled Application Error Reply by: jankarha Date:5/7/2003 1:11:49 AM Yes, I have tried these methods, except for formatting the system. I dont care to do that because of a single program. But none of the other methods have helped. jankarha
Subject:RE: Unhandled Application Error Reply by: Iacobus Date:5/7/2003 1:56:47 PM How long has it been since the system's been formatted? Over time, residue can build up in your system (even in Windows XP) and cause mysterious problems or errors. If nothing else works, I would format. Try one more thing: Reboot your system, and just before the XP logo, repeatedly press F8 and enter Safe Mode. Try uninstalling ACID from there, then reboot into normal mode and reinstall.
