Dimension Pro cause Sonar crash 0xc0000005 Access Violation

I was going through some of the programs looking for something suitable and then bang,,.. Sonar crashes caused by Dim Pro - its happened to me before,.. It intermittent - hope it doesn't get worse..
 
unfortunately no dump file is created, if it were I'd post the analysis - there is however like previous an entry in windows application event logs

yeah I don't think this problem has anything to do with execution privileges. 
 
In this case, (and in the previous time this happened to me) I was quickly going over the progs while playback of the project was running, ( so I could hear what the prog sounds like in the project). 
 
I think it may have something to do with changing progs while playback is running the project.  I might be going through each prog too quickly, or one or more of the programs aren't unloading quick enough and it could be the previous prog in dem pro hasn't unloaded while the next prog is attempting to load and kaboom an access violation occurs. 
 
Shame there is no dmp created under this circumstance...  I might try and attach debugger to sonar and try and replicate it one day, just doesn't occur all that frequently..

I have no thunder - barely cloudy skies, perhaps.  :)

Crash while cruising patches? This is a known issue with Dim Pro and I have encountered it myself. You are happily perusing the different sounds then all of a sudden "SQROOOONK!!!" then a crash. You may not have had the horrendous noise (you likely would have mentioned it if you had because it is indeed a horrible and painful sound) but when I had it first happen to me in X1 I posted here and a bunch of other people said they had the same problem. I think it may have something to do with the patches lingering in RAM and then overloading things. I found that I could get through a dozen or so before it happened. Haven't really been messing with Dim Pro since X1 so I have not encountered it recently.
 
And I did indeed install Dim Pro (and everything else) using Run As Admin.

I just started keeping this little quirk in mind if I'm searching Dim Pro patches. If I think I've gone through enough to start making it wig out I'd fiddle with something else for a while or save and restart Sonar to avoid it.
 
BTW I figured out the correct way to get youtube vids embedded and posted directions in that other thread if you were still curious.
 
Keep in mind though it does indeed slow down the forum page load times so I'd avoid putting an embedded thingie in your sig. Actually I find that wacky (but cool) thing you've got going on in your sig now tends to slow things down a bit too. Not a lot but figured I'd mention it while on the topic. Cheers.
