While you are at it also test a connection with hibernate. Everything on this end seems to indicate a memory management issue which means hibernate could also be a possibility.

I've been trying to keep notes on what's going on, but havn't found something that leads to it exactly.

... scratch what I was about to say...

The one thing that I haven't looked at heavily is the new XP search assistant. I have noticed that it was indexing on two of the occations that I got stuck. Beyond that test that I havn't done, here's what I have.

1. Day one.

A. Work in Aurora on a single sequence perfectly fine with no errors. Durring that time, IE with multiple tabs, Symantic A/V, SonicWall's VPN client, task manager(?), nothing much running. Everything is fine.

B. Exit Aurora for the night.

C. Close the lid of the tablet. (Goes into hybernate)

2. Day two (possibly skipped a day of only internet browsing)

A. IE and the same stuff is running.

B. Open Aurora, select the same sequence that I was last on. Get stuck.

It's a simple step, but I can't figure out what happens. The best that I can start to guess is that (since Vista thinks Aurora crashes) possibly something isn't released fully back to the OS every time and Aurora cannot re-request it. Possibly?

I'll see if I can test the indexing thing tonight.

Does anyone have a way to make this happen in a reproducable fashion (it always happens if I do _____)?

While I have seen this happen here it has been far more elusive than some of you are experiencing (it has happened only twice since 1.0.0). Anything that can point to a way to reproduce this will make it much easier for us to find.

Also, please provide a list of other applications running at the time this happens.

Well, Just tried opening my first newly updated to wav file sequence, and I'm still stuck decompiling.

Created by me from my own ripped mp3. I added no timing marks, no effects.

Transfered to XP, worked for an hour 3 nights ago, added some timing marks, some efects, drew the mega arch.

Exited normally from Aurora, did misc. email, forum stuff the next day (played the Wii instead of sequencing)

Last night, started Aurora, loaded the file, got stuck. CPU at 100%, couldn't find any sort of errors in the default logs. I did not have the debug flag on.

EDIT: Forgot to say that I only have Aurora, and no other software has touched the sequence.

Pony, is this a sequence written from scratch on that PC or an import from Spectrum or borrowed from someone else?

Alright so XP did it again tonight...

Stuck on Decompiling for 10 min.

I clicked everywhere.

I was able to use the File menu. I opened file, then properties. I could not cancel, bt I could save.

Decompiling went away, but the CPU stayed at 100%, and I couldn't play, or edit, or do anything in the grid or play.

This time, Aurora couldn't even compleate the backup to close. Prorably because I messed with the properties/save stuff.

If you click around long enough in Wondows something will start to work correctly...

I've had it pop up a couple times.....most of the time I just got up and got a drink or got rid of the drink I already had....usually a couple minutes later and it was loaded up, it may just need longer.
