For some reason, it looks like Acid 5 is trying to initialize all the available DX and/or VST plugins on startup. On my system, it crashes either during, or after doing so. I can't get past the splash screen. Any ideas? |

i have another issue : while starting , a message pops up saying : "error while loading <application path> , module could not be found" ( screenshot (german OS): http://www.s-production.de/images/acid/acid_rundll.JPG ) which makes acid not show any asio or rewire devices - which means i can't test it thoroughly . btw. this is with the default installation path ! (also , why can't acid be installed next to my existing acid 4 pro ??? regardless of which folder i choose it says there are conflicts ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- berklee , try to move the plugins in your vstplugins folder to a temporary location and see if acid will startup afterwards and then change the vstplugins path in acid's setup . |

Thanks for the tip. Looks like SampleTank is the culprit. |

thanks for the reply ... i forgot to say that i have my "sony shared plugins" folder (the one you setup with acid 4) or whatever it's called inside my acid 4 directory and i think that's what pisses off the installer of acid 5. *bump* for the well more critical flaw with the error message . |

"Looks like SampleTank is the culprit." I use sample tank 2xl 2.08,, I can start acid and use st without any problems.Seems a bit slow , ST is a large vsti, I can record and it seems to function better with each opening of a project,,, still early to tell though. I've got all 8 disks installed in ST. using XP sp1 on a gateway laptop 512 ram ,,tascam us -428 sound device ,, Asio is functioning better and re-wire has been solid with Sonar3 and Sx3. |

Plastique, I can't seem to reproduce your problem, but I would suggest uninstalling and re-installing ACID 5 to the default location. You should not be able to install ACID 5's shared plug-ins to the same directory as ACID 4's, but if you have somehow managed to do this it could definitely cause errors. Thanks, Steve |

I've had some of these issues, what I did was rather then ending the load at the prompt, I just let Acid continue to load. After the first load with Error Messages I haven't had a problem. |

The SONY install instructions clearly emphasise using the DEFAULT FOLDERS. |

it didn't make a difference , same error message every startup of acid 5 . at least the asio and rewire devices were accessible this time . scanning for vsti the first time then gave me a spontaneous reboot of my system (that's a thing i haven't had with any audio application yet before !! at least after 2002 ) even that i have error reporting enabled on my xp pro it took the machine down (can't you catch errors in your code ???). after rebooting i scanned again but it instantly gives me an error message ( http://www.s-production.de/images/acid/acid_vsti.JPG ) and takes acid down . i have the impression this version is built upon the code of acid 4 and therefore i get these deja-vue effects of it being unstable when it gets to vsti scanning . sorry to say , i'm loosing interest , and i maybe will test again a version without bugs but for now TBH i don't have interest to be betatesting an unfinished application . |

Try moving all your vst's and pluggins from their existing folder to a backup folder. Then try loading Acid5, if it loads the problem is in your pluggin folder. You can then start moving your vst's and pluggins a couple at a time back in the original folder and do an Acid restart till you find the culprit. dabb |

been there , done that. i'm not moving anything - i have four applications that depend on this folder (including acid 4) and LOTS of projects depending on the plugins in there . the plugins work FINE !!! if acid 5 can't handle them - keep it Sony , i don't want it . for 150 $ i can expect improvements can't i ??? and not the same as last version just in a new dress . |

Can you give us a list of the VST effects you have installed? That might help us figure out what's going wrong here. Thanks, Steve |

Ive had the same exact problem. Managed to get AP 5 up once in about 40 tries. Definitely locking up while scanning the plugins and sampletank does appear to be a problem. But it has errored out on various vstis. Sent Sony support an email a week ago and got no response. At this point I'd pretty much given up, so if you guys figured this out lemme jnow lol. |

I can't get past the initial splash screen either. Actually I can, if I rename the VST directory so that Acid doesn't see it. I started moving VSTs back and forth between the VST directory and a VST backup directory. Unfortunately this retriggers all sorts of copy protection formats and became so messy that I've had to put off using Acid for now! I figure it will be easier to wait for an update that fixes this. Does anyone know which VSTs Acid can't handle? |
