Yup, didn't figger that was gonna work. Not sure how to attach a JPEG or similar file here.

Thanks pawlpawl!

Thought it was supposed to be a link. sorry, It's not a wasted day.
Cloning tracks seems like a simple task, does Sonar crash for everyone when cloning, or is this related to the same problem here or something else entirely?

Thanks scook!

Not the first crash in 6 days by any means, just the first time I've been allowed to snip a clip of the error message. Usually I just get a white screen that refuses to resolve after an hour or so., or a simple option to close the program or check for a solution, which I think is a windows thing, so maybe its a windows problem? Maybe a different forum? Maybe more than one thing, maybe my whole system is screwed? I dunno. Trying to keep the faith... 'preciate all the help, that's for sure!

 


Thanks Doc, I did a Google search, read and re read the Kontakt submission, and perused Bristol Jonesey's July of 13 rebuild, noted on one that The Craig was also using  an OctaCapture at that time without problems, although there are a lot of inquiries r/t malware and the Roland drivers. I have heeded your prior suggestions and have completely uninstalled all of the files and did a  complete reinstall of the two drivers that Roland requires to run the OC, in fact I have done that scenario three times now to no avail.  the above screen shots are from a crash as I was using and old copy of Sonar 6 Producer in an effort to see if it was indeed the Pro  product, and that crashed as well as you can see. So I'm assuming it is either with my system or the OC driver is faulty. I can't afford another interface, so I dunno. I did see in the afore mentioned post that the dump files were requested by the bakers, so I guess I may indeed give that a try. Please know that I do dearly appreciate all your effort and time attempting to assist me with this matter. As I said before, this forum with guys like you who take their valuable time to help out the IT disadvantaged like myself and many others, is the big reason I have not abandoned ship. Had some investors over, who were looking into a friends studio project and were interested in his DAW software. He brought them to me (as he thinks I know something. ) to see the Cakewalk product. I actually think I got a sale off despite a crash in the middle of a demonstration, as I showed them the vast support available through this forum with these products. All were equally impressed. Please accept my most heartfelt appreciation for all that all of you do!
 
 
 

This is not really a solution for you...just to pass on my experience of using a Quad-capture on my Win7 setup. I had similar issues/crashes, stuck drivers etc, usually poined to a Quad-caputure driver and I had many conversations with Cakewalk Support, Roland and forum members. With no updated driver support from Roland it was quite frustrating as I'd be getting crashes every session. Equally frustrating was hearing about other forum members with a similar card having a perfectly great time. 
 
I couldn't solve it in the end. I ended up purchasing a RME UFX and am just using the Quad for Windows' sounds, general playback etc. I am now experiencing a very stable system and can concentrate on making music. With the one exception of a Waves plugin freezing Sonar from time to time, the RME has been fantastic to work with...even if Sonar does freeze, I don't get the 'hung driver' issue anymore when killing the process. 
 
Sorry you're having this issue as I know it really gets in the way of one's work. I hope you can find a solution and it's great to see other forum members trying to figure it out with you.
 
Best of luck

From the first set of screen shots, I would have to say that there is an issue with your Visual C++ libraries.  Are you absolutely sure that windows update is actually updating and not erroring out on some of the updates? A mismatch with these and Cakewalk would cause crashes.

Well spotted that man, missed MSVCR90.dll... So two DLL's to look out for.
You are definitely running the latest Sonar as well? You could also try rolling back and reinstalling...
 

This has been ongoing but the little dump screen is tricky, as soon as I click anything to get a snip of the screen it would disappear. So following Mettelus's advice from another thread, I downloaded the Moo0 monitor and saw they had a screenshot tool there as well that works with just a keystroke, well, probably to everyone's dismay, Voila!
 


 
Just thought somebody might know what some of these numbers mean, I know it's been awhile but the problem persists. I've updated until windows crashed again, so after another install, and a re update of all the updates praying to sidestep another crash, again I cant finish a song. just kinda throwing it out there, prolly isn't a fix other than rebuilding my machine, or trashing my OctaCapture, ..but...you take away an old mans hope, sometimes you take away all he's got.

Thanks again guys, I don't have anything overclocked, everything's running at factory speeds, but I do save all my 'bundle' projects on the large 3TB HDD, when I open them up from there is that the same as running the audio from the large HDD? I haven't paid attention to whether or not this happens before a save to the large HDD and the auto save are pointed to the same large drive. Its probably something with the OctaCapture or Windows as it happens in an old version of Produce 6 I have. I might try the other user, although I 'm the only user but I think I understand what you mean by registry profiles etc. I'll give it a shot. Thanks again so much!
And Kevin, Rogers is an absolutely beautiful area!, I used to play a piano bar there, out on the northern outskirts contained in a restaurant, I forget the name. Loved that area!

AFAIK, the 2TB limit was fixed in W7(x64) SP1. W8,W8.1 and W10 should have no issues.

Hi Joyof60,
 
I think it MAY be the hard drive.  If you initially formatted as GPT as I did, you may have delays at times accessing data, which might cause your crashes.  I may be wrong.  I run all my audio off an SSD these days.  It really beefs up a DAW and I recommend at least a 256gb SSD.
 
I found this about MBR vs GBT:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/26203-convert-gpt-disk-mbr-disk.html
 
I think a conversion wipes your data.  In future systems, I'm just going to use multiple 2TB drives, although windows 10 probably has a way of handling the larger drives I imagine.
 
It may be your Roland card, but it might not be. 
 
Peace,
 
Ian
 
 
 

Thanks Ian, An SSD may indeed be the answer, and maybe multi 2TB drives as well. I may give it a shot. just so mentally fatiguing for the DAW to crash 3/4 the way through a perfect take. Out of every 12 takes, 8-9 are done due to crashes and lockups. LOL, really curious how fast I could finish a project if everything worked right. Ah for my old 'Cool Edit' software...
