Cubase start-up problems

Hi,

After working with cubase 6 for a few weeks. I suddenly have a big problem.

It will not start up anymore.

At first i thought i might have changed a file somewhere. So i uninstalled, and reinstalled.

Same problem. I downloaded the new software patch. Still the same problem.

I read a bunch of stuff on this forum, and decided that i had to upgrade my “stand - alone” pc running on XP sp2 to sp3. After that I reinstalled cubase 6, and still it crashed. I reinstalled the update… and guess what it stil crashes.

I’m getting a bit frustrated over here, becouse I don’t get any reaction, on my request forms.
So hopefully somebody out here knows what the issue is.

Pc :
AMD phenom II quad 955 Black Ed.
Asus m2n sli deluxe.
Crucial ballistics 4gb Ram
Some raptor Hdd’s
2x M-audio profire
Emu 1616m
Windows XP pro sp3
No direct internet connection.

cubase studio 4 an cubase 5 are still installed as backup.

it’s always on the same: initialising Video file handling. screen that it crashes.
the failure screen i get then reads:

EventType:BEX
P1:Cubase.exe
P2:6.0.0.229
P3:4cf95e35
p4:Baios.dll
and so on…
the files it then want’s to send back are:
…temp\WER7d05.dir00\cubase6.exe.mdmp
…temp\WER7d05.dir00\appcompat.txt


so that’s all the info i have.

thanks

You should try trashing the preferences. There may be a setting that is interfering with startup. Reinstalling does not clear the preferences. You can just move the folder to the desktop or somewhere and see if it helps.

Have you looked at the appcompat.txt…it may give you a clue?

@ Jaslan

thanx a lot,
you saved my day.

took me all over 10 seconds :slight_smile:
