BTW, forum search is a bit frustrating at times as I tried to find posts you located, met... first, get no results then we're told to wait awhile to search again!  

Ut oh... I already did the searching... did the links in my post above not work for you? You should be able to click on those and they will take you right to them.

Yep, mettelus, and I appreciate the links... my comment was a general one, in that when trying to search, if at first you don't succeed, you have to wait... and wait... then try again.  Why?  I think it reduces the effectiveness of searching in the moment, that's all.  
 
 
BTW, tonight I've been able to load things fine, by waiting a minute or so after it appears as if everything is loaded... first night (about 12 hours now) where I've loaded and tweaked several projects and just test loaded projects that crashed before, by exercising that forum search function requirement... wait....and wait a bit longer. Might be incomplete loading after all... same for saving...if this works, I'll be a happy camper and don't really care why I'm having to wait a minute or two for a song to load cause once I'm rollin', everything's rock solid...
 
...and X-rated bliss is worth waiting for!

You just gave me an idea. Sonar X4 really should have the ability to have the forums in the multidock! Thanks..

Oh, yea, Alex...we'd all get a lot of composing done then!  Already have enough trouble with email popup distractions from a bud who's new to X3 and pinging me for help every evening! I need to limit this forum thing...it's addicting! Illustrates how humans really do love community...
 
don't do it, Alex... and DON'T tell Panu or he'll wip it out in an evening!  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
 
I'm swearing off for the night... already blew part of my mortgage money on spotlight strings cause I visited the software side! (really,) 

@Vastman - sounds like you may have to move in to a virtual cello case, with the mortgage thing.  Whatever you do, resist the inevitable end of the month sales.  They are coming for you.  :)

Hey, Bob, one thing I'm realizing as I switch to part time work/more songwriting... is how little, if at all, I use a lot of what I've acquired...
 
Overall my cost of living is quite frugal and I'm fortunate to have had the opportunity to create a wonderful urban farmstead here in Oakland, now sharing the property with younger, energetic folks who help keep it all going.
 
I'm also leading towards the less is better mentality and decluttering. So, hopefully I'll b able to adhere to my new mantra, "enough!" Which equals less need to work and more music!
 
 

I have come to that place, as well, and am enjoying looking to use what I have, rather than pursuing more gear for no particular reason.
 
I have thousands of sounds I will never use, and synths that allow me to create anything I can foresee needing, so if the Beatles can have a number 1 song that contains a KAZOO solo, I think I will worry more about the quality of the writing than anything.
 
Of course, there are a lot of shiny new baubles that come around the end of every month, and I too fell victim to picking up a new soft synth collection just 3 weeks ago, so..............

Sounds like the file is already opened, then trying to re-open.  Run two of these in a row and bam you get the 'disk full error'
 
    if(file.Open(m_tempFile, CFile::modeRead|CFile::typeText))
     ...
 
That's pretty funny, since I was coding in VC++ this morning and had the exact same bug in my code.... :p
 
 

Yup always close the buffer/stream.

I can now say, pretty definitely the crashes seem to be associated with trying to start playing or diddling with a file (even just adjusting mixer moduals or what is showing on the console view too early.  since getting up and walking away for awhile I'm not getting crashes.  Why it "appears" to be finished but takes additional time, I have no idea.  I've just started setting a timer for 2 minutes before touching anything.  seems to be working. 

@Vastman - I cannot recall, did you do your install of Sonar with Run As Administrator?
