the latest - 1.0.29. I think it has more to do with the file than the version. Wierd thing is, the last program to open that sequence was Aurora v.02 last year. You would think the new version would open it. It has worked fine for a few other sequences so far.

Carey, I'm curious as to what version are you using right now.  I know this was an issue in some versions of Aurora because it has happened with me as well, but since build 1.0.25 I haven't come across it even once.

I just had this "decompiling data for editing" hang error. I was attempting to open a sequence I used last year to begin adapting it to my new set up. It first asked me to locate the audio file, then hung. I was able to get past it by:
-attempting to open the file, select audio file.... hang
-after a while, aurora will let you select the file menu
-select properties and assign visualizer picture. It will then go thru the backbuffering, spectrogram stuff.
-It will appear to finish all of the opening process, but will only show a blank screen where the spectrogram and events should be.
-then save, it will try but then lock up again. So end task.
-open aurora and select use backup workspace
-bingo!
 
I only did this once, so I have not been able to double check the steps to reproduce. I actually did the first 4 steps 2 or 3 times before trying the last 2.
 
I hope this helps track the problem down.
Carey

I have made numerous posts on this bug.  I HAVE to close Aurora any time i want to change sequences as the memory is not properly flushed when changing sequences.  The software also has another memory bug in it when I move any channel to another channel's spot; some of the events from the old channel are still in the new channel but I can't erase them and they do not show up on the sequence display.  They show up all over in the visualizer and to a lesser degree in the actual show.  Strangely enough, the more the show plays on the scheduler the less the errors show up.  After a few hours the show run 100% correct.

As for the original bug on this thread, I have the same issue from time to time but interestingly enough the machine is not hooked to the internet or a network in any fashion so IE cant be the sole reason for this.  Sounds like IE might trigger the issue by calling on the same resources but in and of itself it sounds more like there is a bad memory call in the code or the compiler might not be updated to make the proper calls as DLLs and what not change over time.

What is this written in and compiled with?

So I've tried NOT using IE for a few days of sequencing on my tablet and Aurora's been working perfectly.
This is still going into Stady By nightly by closing the lid and opening it the next night.
Aurora's been decompiling all sequences perfetly.
Tonight, I DID open up IE, went to web mail and a few other places and now Aurora can no longer decompile.
I do not have Firefox, or anything else installed here so I can't tell if those could cause the same thing.
 
My IE is 7.0.5730.11
 
I have all required and optional XP Tablet updates installed.
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

Except for a few minor details the release notes are complete (1.0.2 was an interim release for a handful of users who can't get Aurora to run at all).  If you aren't in that group and don't need the autostart option then you don't need 1.0.2.  Just wait.

As others have indicated, yes, Aurora shows one sequence (it even plays the right music), but sends commands for another.  My question is this:  Should I download 1.0.2 or just wait for the big bug release version?  I never encountered 339 errors, and it seems the release notes indicate that nothing in that build would help me or my particular system.  I can easily install it if it might fix something (like Scheduler), but if the big fixed bugs release is coming soon, maybe I should just wait?

Yes, that is exactly what happened to me, also. Saved what I was working on, then Opened a new file. All looked fine, but when it played the music and light output was the previous sequence. Since then, I've always closed Aurora and restarted.

As wild as that sounds it actually helps indicate where the problem is...
 
It seems that something is blocking Aurora from receiving events fired from within Auroradata2.dll.

Yes, this happened to me once.   I finished a sequence, saved,  opened another and clicked play, it played the sequence I just finished with the music for the one I had just opened.  I close Aurora and it reopened fine the next time.
