Is anyone getting the following error when opening Borealis: "Runtime Error 5: Invalid procedure call or argument" I have tried reinstalling, but I get the same error. Thanks. |

Need more info:
What OS are you running?
When you installed, did you allow the installer to replace ALL of the files? You know - where it asks if you want to replace with an older file. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Did you reboot after installing? Does the error happen before or after the calendar has displayed? ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

| I am running XP. I have rebooted several times. The error shows up just after the calendar shows up. I tried it on another computer, and received the same error. Thanks. |

| For an update on the issue. I have tried three different computers, but I continue to get the same error. I must be doing something wrong and I have followed the walkthrough for scheduler several times, but still the same error.... |

Is anyone else experiencing this?
I haven't been able to replicate this yet... I'm going to put together a special debug build for this to get a more verbose message. Expect to hear more tonight. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

As a further update, I installed Aurora on my office computer, and it does not have the same error. The only difference that I can think of is that I have d-light on my home computers, but not on my office computer. I do not know if this could cause a conflict because I do not run the d-light program and aurora at the same time. Thank you. |

The D-Light software should not make any difference. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I did not allow the installer to replace my existing files..... Is that going to be a problem??
It hasn't been so far.

Thanks... this appears to be an isolated incident. I will work with pmcdaniel directly to resolve this. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

In most cases I actually recommend against replacing the files, so it shouldn't be a problem. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

May not be related to this particular issue, but if you click "remove" from the playlist without first selecting a sequence, you will get an Error 5. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

You have an email with instructions for installing the debug build. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

This issue has been resolved. It appears to have been a combination of two things:
1) Suspected driver issues with a particular USB mouse
2) Rebuilding of a deleted /Cache directory when short length audio files exist. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

I just downloaded and installed. The sequencer works fine but I get the runtime error when I try and run the scheduler. My OS is XP (SP2)

| OK, I have tried everything I can think of to get the scheduler to run! I have removed LOR from my computer, tried removing and reinstalling the Aurora software and still get the runtime error when I try and start the scheduler. The calandar appears, then the error message. |

Mike,
How long after the calendar appears does the error message appear?
I will be contacting you with a download link to a debug build tomorrow to test this specific issue. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

| Once the calandar appears then about ten seconds or so later the error window pops up. Thanks for your help! |

Mike G's error 5 was different than the original one and has been solved. Should anyone else get this, here is something to check:
Make sure your fonts are set to normal/96 DPI in your display properties. It appears that there is a bug in which Aurora behaves incorrectly when Large/Extra Large fonts are used. This will be fixed in a future release. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Yes - I get the error dialog on screen as well - but only after the scheduled show has completed and the last sequence has played. -------------
