Crash Dump (Solved)

Still having crashes on my main XP based machine, so I installed X1 Expanded on my windows 7 laptop just to be scientific. Interestingly enough I get the same problem ie:- soanarpdr.exe has encountered etc. but a crash dump is automatically produced and it just asks me if I would like to send it or not and if I want to attach any supporting files. Should this happen in XP also or do I need to turn something on to make it work. ?

Best Roy

ask yourself the most obvious question then.
if you want to get really scientific,what are you using on both machines?
an audio interface maybe?
a midi device?

its either a bad driver you have saved,the wrong driver,an outdated driver.
a interface that is not compatible with sonar(not your computers)

see this is where it all made sence for me.
when x1 first came out,there was some problems but.and i say but,there were those who were deeming it unusable,well i didnt have any problems?
so what was it?
x1 came out at a time when windows 7 was fairly new,64 bit was only a year old.
alot of these things come into play.

so if its not working on both computers(or the same error)
its common sence,its something you are using on both computers,a device.
or a driver add on you are installing after the fact.

Just checking out those Nirsoft utils . thanks for the link Strikingly Handsome..

Guitarpima:- yes I spotted the correct order here on the forum before I tried this out. and was most surprised to get the same fault with everything different. Makes me wonder if part of Sonar got corrupted when I downloaded it. cos its a lot of downloading for shore.

Thanks Guitarpima.. most appreciated.

Did you read the dump? It should give you an answer. No point guessing what the problem is/was if it actually says what it is. You can move on to other things once you've eliminated it.

There's another method outlined in this thread http://forum.cakewalk.com/fb.ashx?m=1799042 if you need to investigate. Obviously if things go all right then there's no need.

Guitarpima ,Mine crashed yesterday because of guitar rig 4, so need to check that out today, actually managed to read part of the crash file with notepad that said error gr4. I guess we'll both get it eventually.
May the force be with you.

Still no crashes I'm pleased to say. Never did hear back from Cake report form and files I sent. Guess there busy counting my money. Still onwards and upwards now it's working will I turn into a fanbouy. Hope not just like my tools to work.

Bless you all
