Subject:ACID crashes after moving folder with media files

I've recently upgraded to XP and made some substantial changes to my hardware, including the addition of a new harddrive.

The folder where I had all the media files is now on the drive e:\ under many subfolders. Originally it was on drive d:\ under a single folder.

For example, it used to be like:
d:\mymediafilesand now its:
c:\somefolder\anotherfolder\mymediafiles
Now, when I try to open a project, sometimes I get the "missing media file" dialog... but regardless of getting or not getting this dialog, when the open progress bar reaches 100% Acid crashes with this error:

Try what's suggested here.

If the above doesn't work, try also uninstalling and reinstalling ACID and DirectX.

Thanks for replying but the only solution was to create a copy of the folder and place it in the same location it was before.

Load the .acd files and save them as acd-zip (embedded media).

From now on, I'm saving all my projects in this format.

Just did a little hunting on this one. The problem is likely related to Track Properties, believe it or not.

To open your project without the problem, try opening ACID from scratch, tabbing to the Track Properties page by the Explorer page, and clicking the X to get rid of it (or just use the pulldown menu's, choosing View/Track Properties to unselect it).

Now open that project, and things should hopefully work better.

FWIW, the problem arises when one goes to check track properties on a file that is offline. We're looking into a fix to tidy this up, to include with the next update.

HTH,
Joel

Sorry...
While I was reading all the posts there is that I though of doing that.

...I really never finish reading them all...

Thanks for your time and willingness though.

As weird as it sounds looks like it works!
I wish you had posted this before ;)

Looking forward for the next release...
