Last night I bought the 5.0 upgrade after using it in femo mode for a couple weeks. Once I did that, I wanted to open a couple older 4.0 projects into 5.0 to take advantage of some of the new features. However, when I opened the first file, the track names came up, along with the envelopes, but no tracks. It's as if I never painted anything--just dragged and dropped. I tried to paint a couple tracks in, and neither the pencil nor the paintbrush would work (I couldn't paint anything). I tried to click with the paintbrush while holding down the ctrl key, and the program crashed. I dutifully copied and pasted the error report into notepad, and here it is:

I'm using a Sony Vaio with a P4 1.5 and 256MB Ram (I know--not enough, but not so little as to cause the program to crash). I'm using a Delta 1010 audio interface with the latest drivers, and Windows XP home.

Please help!

That is really odd. I routinely open old projects in ACID Pro 5, all the time. Believe it or not, even ACID 1.0 projects from 1999, open just fine in A5.
In the rare instances, that I have had an error message, it is when I've either, accidentally deleted or misplaced some needed project files or I no longer have a plugin effect installed that i might have used years ago. That is why I like saving as .zip files nowadays, everything gets saved with the project file.
Do all of your pre 5.0 projects give this same error message or just this particular project? Did it previously open in the A5 demo?

I’ve seen this! I had this happen to me once with an ACID 4.0 project but I couldn’t recreate it. Even ACID 5 projects didn’t show loops are wouldn’t paint. I don’t know what caused it. I closed ACID and opened it again and it worked fine (maybe I even rebooted I don't remember) so I just dismissed it as a ghost in the machine. I guess not.
