Subject:Acid 5.0a won't start Posted by: BleakVoid Date:4/17/2005 8:14:59 PM I just installed ACID 5.0a under Windows Server 2003, but when I run the program, it won't get past the splash screen. Out of curisosity, I installed ACID 4, which runs, but encounters an exception error whenever ACID would play a sound...any suggestions? Message last edited on4/17/2005 8:15:14 PM byBleakVoid.
Subject:RE: Acid 5.0a won't start Reply by: JohnnyRoy Date:4/17/2005 9:25:29 PM If you have a Vstplugin directory, you might try renaming it and see if ACID gets any farther. One of the things ACID does when it first starts is scan for VST plugins and a plugin that isn’t compatible might be causing the problem. BTW, ACID system requirements are listed as: Microsoft® Windows® 2000, XP Home, or XP Professional. I’m not sure if it would cause a problem but it doesn’t look like Windows Server 2003 is a supported operating system. (at least it might not have been tested) ~jr
