X2 not stable on Vista
Ok must vent now.
I have had about four crashes since installing X2, but today's was a doozy. Just to be on the safe side, I have been saving after all important changes and using autosave also. After doing a file export today, I went to save and close the program and X2 says it cannot save the project because there isn't enough space on the disk. (There is, BTW, about 300 GB free on the disk). Then Sonar crashes.
Then, when I try to re-open the project after re-booting, I find that the file is corrupted. AND the auto-save backup is corrupted. AND safe mode doesn't work. AND opening the file crashes Sonar again.
All my mixing, automation, etc gone. I am this close to giving up on this program.

Well, X2 is not supported on Vista.
I am one who is going to take the chance, but if it does not work correctly I can't complain, however somehow it seems there could be something else behind your problems like a failing hard drive.

I know others (including Craig Anderton) have posted here that X2 is working great for them on Vista. So it certainly could be completely unrelated to the X2/Vista combination. However, be that as it may, it still is an unsupported OS...

Cakewalk posted that while it is not supported, it seems to be working. I am not sure Vista is the issue. Maybe X2 is the issue.
The point is, it is not stable for ME. (And X1d was)

If memory serves, that "out of disk space" error could be plugin related vs. the core app.

I've had one crash with a project that was created on 8.53 with X2 and Vista64. Other than that, it's been a safe work horse. Robust.
I use a delta 1010 audio card that supports Vista64 SP2 and I imagine that is hugely responsible for X2 running smoothly here.

Side note - X2 64 is more reliable on my Vista system than running at 32 bit. I was reluctant to make the switch from 32 bit but I'm glad I did.

Run a Chkdsk /F and make sure your disk drive doesn't have any errors.

if your file is corrupted and the auto save file is corrupted also....my guess is the hard drive as someone else suggested.
What sound card are you using?

Using TC electronic Konnekt 24D. Seems stable.
Hard drive? I will run the chkdsk but would a drive problem affect isolated files like that?
I am currently painfully recreating my project by importing the audio recordings from the /audio subfolder into a new project. Just realized this is a pain when you loop record as all the audio data is in one long file and you cannot tell where individual takes begin.

I have had this error before on X1 and I posted about it in the forum. I was told that it shows up sometimes if you use simple instrument tracks rather than the full on tracks. I have since changed to only using full on tracks and will not be using simple instrument tracks anymore.
If you are using simple instrument tracks you should try splitting them into individual, full on tracks (right click, seperate track).
If this bug is still in X2 it needs to be addressed now.

There was a work around for this error which was to simply play the project for a few seconds and save again. Always worked for me. However, I have not seen this error in a very long time.

I've had that with a couple of 3rd party plugins here.... Running X2 on a dual boot Vista/W7 here

It would be fair to say everything effects everything. Example you may think of your desktop as a kind application. Actually its directly hooked into your disk drives. and uses windows explorer to do its job. In fact it is windows explorer. To prove this in task manager end it and see what happens.
