Hi Pierre,
I´m running ST 3 and Sonar X3e  pe here and have no probs.
Sorry, if I ask the obvious, cause immo st3 is ressource hungry:
Did you have during mixing aso
-Anti virus off ?
-Anti spam off ?
- did you freeze  tracks ?
- windows defender off aso?
- sequencer,samples and projects on the same hd ?
Have you optimized your box (windows) for music production?
Which buffersize/ driver ?
 
Have fun
Piet

X3d works very well, but X3e is better. Maybe try this:
 
Set a new system restore point and update to X3e. Also, update SampleTank 3 to the latest version. There are often little bug fixes or improvements in an update that are not listed "officially" by the manufacturer.
 
Re-boot, re-scan/reset to make sure you pick up the new version of SampleTank, then see if this fixes the problem. If not, revert to before the new system restore point.

First of all,sorry for not replying sooner and thank you very much for all your suggestions and help !
I opened the project in Safe mode and the play back worked normally ! In fact, as I described, when opened in no safe mode, there was a little window : SONARPDR and below there was the name of the Plugin "Master Violin" (the Violin from Gipsy East West) and a progression bar with step numbers 1 to 19xx, and, after this rather long step progression loading expires, the project and Sonar crashed, and I had to restart everything : computer, and all the VS700 system ...
In safe mode, I unselected the East West plugin, and things seem to be normal now. So, I presume that if I use the East West instrument, I have to FREEZE the plugin or bounce to audio track before I close the project ??
The problem is if the crash occurs suddenly when working on the project : It was the case with SAMPLETANK 3, but also, systematically with RAPTURE and DIMENSION PRO on another projects ! And for example, yesterday, I was jamming with BEATSCAPE which I know is at 32 bits version, and whereas I never had problems before with it, Sonar stopped ...
If someone has any idea ?
I made all the Windows updates as suggested and see if there are some improvements ! Will make a image backup system and go to the version D...
 
I forgot to say also that I have all the SONAR previous versions (from Producer 8.5 to X2). Apparently, I had never problems but maybe it could be best to remove them : For a clean remove : Do I have to go to the uninstall process in the Configuration Pannel of Windows 7 ? Or do I have to make another thing ?
 
Answering to Piet :
Did you have during mixing aso
-Anti virus off ?  : Yes
-Anti spam off ?  : Yes
- did you freeze  tracks ?  : Not systematically above all when I work late on a project; But never experienced too much problem and particularly with Kontakt 5, Spectrasonics, UVI...
- windows defender off aso? : I know that I have the Windows Firewall activated but it's all.
- sequencer,samples and projects on the same hd ? : No everything (c/system; plugin and samples; audio files) is separated in its own hd !
Have you optimized your box (windows) for music production? Yes, my computer is exclusively devoted to music production.
Which buffersize/ driver ? 256 (I think) and Asio with Roland VS 700 drivers (but unfortunately no more support for them)
 
Thanks again for your kind attention
 
Pierre

Yes , i recommend to freeze or bounce .
I prefer bouncing without fx so that it is possible to edit 
the synth years later in another box where possibly the synth etc is not 
installed .
good luck

very happy about that my forum profil is now migrated!
 

Thanks Pragui !
 
Just one interrogation : In the folder of this Cakewalk project, I have a "msdia80.dll" file (??) : Any idea of what is it ?

The Msdia80.dll file is installed in the root folder of the boot drive when you install the Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package by using the Vcredist_x64.exe file or the Vcredist_ia64.exe file 
It´s obviously a install fault on your box:

Thanks Pragi very much !
I contacted (for the 1rst time) the Cakewalk support (Joey Adams) who seems to be very reactive ! He asked me for the ".dmp" file. I hope main problems will be discarded !
