Errors

 
I don't know if these are related to one another but when I play a project it plays fine but sometimes when I try to listen again, I can't hear anything but the now time is moving. When I go to other projects it plays fine. On the same project where you save and can see the progress bar saving, it said reset button and crashed. I couldnt take a screen of that one though. Then on the same project I was saving and got that error in the picture above.
 
Thanks

I have had similar experiences with now time moving and no sound.  The only resolution was to break out of Sonar and restart the program.  Personally I have had this happen enough times in various projects that I can't say what causes it, but it happens a lot and frankly I blame Sonar and its instability.

I did.

I installed X1 on my wife's laptop last night and the only way I could get Dim Pro registered was to run it as Admin.

Silliness.
 
SONAR can no longer access your files because something else is either accessing those files or blocking SONAR from accessing them. It's a pretty descriptive error message.
 
It's probably due to a virus scanner, power saving feature, or Windows user privledge.

I wish tech support could reply as decisively and fast. You provide an opinion, not an answer. Silliness.

BEATZM1D1OT is on the right track. It's not a "SONAR stability" issue. Most likely, another process (e.g. another instance of SONAR, or WMP, or a virus scanner or automated backup utility) has the file open.

Boy, I really struck a nerve, and it is not my intent to thread-jack.

In my situation the only thing it might be is a virus scanner, except I don't see how, as the scanner is intelligent enough to wait until the computer is idle.  I could be wrong I suppose.

Also, I have not had the error message Sharp describes, just the now time with no audio issue, so I have part of his problem but no all of it.  Was just relaying my experience.

Anyhow I didn't intend to thread-jack, sorry.

All I can say is that I disabled UAC on my music computer completely. This computer is only connected to a (protected) local network, and has no virus scanners active or installed while using it with X1. For safety I do a weekly virus scan using a partition with Linux and the Avast! virus scanner in it. That way I can scan the Windows partition and there are no files in use on that partition. This works great and fast. As a side note - the "music" computer is not used for gaming or browsing the internet. I do run Blender (a free open source 3d design program) on the same computer but that's about it..

Why did I disabled UAC?  Well - UAC could be a good protection/access system in principle, but it is in fact a very lousy implementation in reality. Microsoft succeeded in taking a good look at the UNIX/Linux permission structure, and implementing it only partly and lousy in Windows - leading to a lot of problems. It would not surprise me one bit if a lot of problems (but not all - some are real bugs) people have with X1 turned out to be generated by a badly behaving permission structure.

Anyway - like others have said before- you could try to see if another program is using the file at the same moment (think about a sound/music player or a program like Sound forge or Audacity etc.). If all fails you can try to take ownership of the directory and everything below it, to rule out any protection scheme.
