Edius 4.51c Crashing!!!

[BillBarrett]

Gave up for now

Uninstalled 4.51c, went back to 4.24 and everything works fine. I've got two machines, this one without hardware acceleration and a Dual Xeon with the NX card. I have not even tried to update the other system as we have several projects with folks itching for their stuff. I own two USB dongles so we can use them at the same time.

I'm still open to suggestions for upgrading successfully. . .

I've found three or four instances that cause crashes on edius upgrades to 4.51. (with respective solutions)

1) Continuing existing project after upgrade. Don't upgrade mid project. This appears to cause general instability. (I've experienced lock-ups and no-warning crashes like where the interface dissappears). On new/clean projects, no such issue.

2) Not doing full clean-out (IE. remove registry entries from old edius)

3) Not selecting all installation entries that are necessary (directx, quicktime) - this almost certainly causes the immediate project crash.

4) Trying to use existing waveform data from old project can cause a timeline scrubbing crash.

Most people can be forgiven here though, as we see an upgrade as an upgrade - you install and away you go.

Unfortunately you have to be more careful that this.

I also think with a powerful programme like Edius and major software upgrades; it pays to image a fresh XP system so when you make an "upgrade" you are working from a cleaner windows installation. In other words starting from scratch.

Still no way to run 4.5x

I had given up on 4.51c and went back to 4.24 which was running fine. I have been waiting several weeks for GV Tech to call back after investigating issues with the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe board. Called again tonight after installing the newest version 4.52. It still crashes right after I select a project. A new project also crashes. I've booted with none of the start-up stuff running and get the same problem. Anyone else in my shoes? This is happening on my ASUS P5 DH Deluxe, E6600, Quadro FX1500, 2 gigs Kingston, machine with no acceleration hardware. I have not attempted to install on my Tyan dual Xeon machine with the NX card yet. I'd feel like a fool to be telling a client that I couldn't work on their project because updating one computer wouldn't work so I thought I'd try it on the computer with their job on it!

Thoughts?

What is your setup on the BIOS ?
I have the same motherboard and CPU. It's running 4.52

Asus

That's encouraging. I don't know of any unusual settings in the BIOS. Any settings I should check?

Asus

My BIOS is version 2206.

Mine crashes on ctscoreeng.dll. AppVersion: 4.50.0.46 ModuleVersion: 4.50.0.33.

Me too I've this problem.
I've resolved (!!!)....or better... not very resolved, but ok.....
Don't open edius with its icon or from start, but make double click on project icon. Edius will open that projects and skips the first window....it is that window that crash edius. Of course if you try to change project settings it will crash again....so.... if you need to change project settings you must open an old project with all right settings and merge new project you want, after delete from timeline the old project and remember to save with other name!
Only that solution I've found...... if someone have better please tell us.

THANKS for the solution. Me too I'm experiencing crashes on startup (at the project window). I therefore launch Edius, as per your suggestion, by a *.ezp project icon shortcut.

It still crashes right after I select a project. A new project also crashes.

Another way to make Edius 4.51c crash for me is bring up "Project settings" from the Settings menu.

Wasn't this problem fixed in 4.54?

Wasn't this problem fixed in 4.54?

Apparently not. I just installed 4.6 and the crash issue remains. I have to call Edius from a saved project shortcut.

Try to Upgrade

Try to Update to Edius 4.6x, It should solve the problem
