DC-ART 3.12 crashes during CNF preview

[HearToTemptYou]

I'm still using my good ol' DC-ART 3.12 but I've been having this problem off and on when I make adjustments to the continious noise filter in preview mode.

I'll make an adjustment, say, I change the attack or release time, and I quickly get one of those "This program has created an illegal opperation" windows, and I have to close the program.

Last time this happened, I saved the "details" text from the error. (I'm running Win98 SE on a computer with a 1000 mhz AMD Athlon processor). If you can make heads or tails of it, here it is!

Thanks as always.

Re: DC-ART 3.12 crashes during CNF preview

The stack dump is not much help, I am not sure why Microsoft ever thought that users would really want to see that crap. I only makes sense when you are debugging and even then, only once out of 50 times does it actually help.

Anyway on to your crash. 3.12 is pretty old and I do not remember if we had any lingering problems with it, although I thougth it was pretty stable.
One of the caues of crashes in the CNF filter is an interaction with the sound card or video card driver. Sometimes newer drivers can fix it, and sometimes not. We went to support for the newer style WDM drivers because of issues like this.
Because it is when you are adjusting the attack or release time, I suspect video driver interaction.
