Project Will Only Open In Safe Mode...(NOT SOLVED)

I assume that's when you have to hold down the shift key while clicking on the project. I then click 'Yes To All' for all the plugins and effects and it opens OK. This is the third time I've had to open it in safe mode and no success opening it in the standard method - Sonar just sits there and will eventually go to 'not responding' mode.

Question is - are there any of the usual suspects I should be looking at in this case?  Anyone else have the problem and solve it?

Awe, just noticed the Screen Sets are screwed up as well. If I go to my SS 4 which is the console view I get nothing until I click Alt 2 for the CV, try and go back to SS1 I get a minimized TV, click that and it goes to another unknown SS. Also all my SS names are blank. This file is clearly getting or has become corrupted. A simple Save As? Or more drastic measures?

]You may try emptying your picture cache. It seems to me that I read about someone having this problem and it was a picture file that caused it. You could try it and see,won't cost ya nothing![;)
 
edit: I just seen your second post,I don't know what may be going on with your screensets.

I THINK I have it solved. I did a Save As then imported Screen Sets from my template project and it seems to be working OK now. Very creepy though. Haven't tried the picture idea but am curious how?

Yes you would delete the files in your picture cache but that gets rid of all picture files for all your projects.If you have it working I wouldn't do it though.

Hey Humble,
After deleting your pic cache, it doesnt take very long for it to redraw after opening your project.  I did catch Scotts article on pic cache and according to CW it emptys itself as needed automatically but after I cleaned mine up, I did go into the preferences and jack the Pic Cache from 500 to 1500 and has been working good since.  I didnt mess around with screen sets-Ive just been sticking to what was supplied so far but I have had similar probs.

Wish I knew how to help ya Larry but this ones beyond me.
Kinda sounds like a mixture of possible probs to me.

Is anything at all happening in the background when it goes into "not responding"? (Task Manager-check everything- including processor performances to see if anything is maxed and sitting waiting)

How full is your hard drive?
