My X2 Producer installation was rock solid, no crashes or any showstoppers.
 
However since installing X2A I now get
 
1) random ntdll.dll crashes.
2) random rdas1117.dll crashes.
3) Cannot add or remove anything in the prochannel.
 
Crash reports are generated but will not complete sending to cakewalk.
Just opening or closing a project or switching screensets can cause a dll fatal error.
 
I'm doing an uninstall of X2A now and I'm going to try reinstall X2.
 
Any ideas as to why I suddenly get dll crashes would be great, anything to do with the 2012 VC++ redistibutable that was installed with X2A?
 
 
 

shambler: lets talk about your system. 1 is the os updated and did you install the optional stuff at ms update ? 2 whats the motherboard and video card ... anything to do with the 2012 VC++ redistibutable is not a issue !!

Hi StarTekh,

OS is fully updated including all optional updates.

Motherboard is a gigabyte Z68XP-UD3P, video card is NVidia GTX460.
 
[edit] X2 reinstalled and testing.

OK, I have deleted Sonar and reinstalled X2 and everything appears to work fine.

Now, do I risk installing X2A again? ;)
 
[edit] ReDownloading the update just to make sure...4 mins to go I'll keep you posted ;P
Installing...
 
Testing...

Gremlins banished, I'm going to have a good look around for stragglers, but for now X2A is behaving itself...sighs relief.

2 board revs 1.0 and 1.03..... http://ca.gigabyte.com/pr...-page.aspx?pid=3912#ov .... Intel INF installation 9.3.0.1021 1.24 MB 2012/09/20....vip and goto nvidia and update the video drivers ... optional unless there over a year old !!

Thanks for digging in for me StarTekh, problem appears to have been banished.

I uninstalled X2, reinstalled, applied the quick fix and then applied X2A update, testing all the way and this time it just worked.

I have loaded my most demanding projects and they are rock solid again.

Now the only question is, what's that enormous tomato doing in your avatar? =)

Perfect !!

Thank goodness everything appears to be okay. I've installed X2a myself and all appears to be okay at my end. Kinda wonder, when you see peeps still having problems here and there.

I have to add that I uninstalled all of the VC++ 2005, 2008 ,2010, 2012 redistributables before reinstalling X2, patch and x2a,

But I'm still extremely worried about the tomato in StarTekh's sig!

It's time to spill the salad I say.
