You are attempting to import a "music sequence" and not an "animation sequence", correct?

This is a halloween sequence that was created in spectrum a couple years ago. Not sure of what your asking music vs animation.

What Jonathan is referring to is Spectrum at the time allowed you to create either a sequence to music and a animation sequence which had no music. Since I'd assume this is to halloween music, it is just a normal music sequence. ------------- Chris www.lightsonsixth.com |

Yes, you are correct. It was a music sequence. I forgot that Specturm allowed you to do an animation sequence.
thanks,

Try this. Open Aurora, open an existing file, let it load successfully, then try to import via the File menu. Do you still get the error? ------------- ~Jonathan |

I did everything as you suggested. While it is loading and it gets to "bookmarking" I receive the message that "Aurora has encountered a problem and the application has to be shut down" ------------- Kevin |

Is that an Aurora error message or a Window's message?

1.0.69 Experienced it with 1.0.41 also. Xp Pro 3.4Ghz dual 4 Gig Ram I've tried importing all of my Spectrum sequences (8) with the same result. On a side note I did upgrade from .41 to .69 to attempt a sequence with video. Once I received the error code while importing a Spectrum file I downgraded to .41. I followed the recommended reboot procedures. Question, when removing and reinstalling a version can I expect the program asking me for the activation code? If so, it has not. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both versions numerous times to try and correct this issue and at no time was I prompted to reinsert the activation code. thanks ------------- Kevin |

Uninstall only removes the software. Your activation code remains in the Aurora folder.

After a couple of uninstalls and re-installs I'm no longer receiving the "runtime error" the program now "encounters a problem and needs to shut down" (windows message) when importing a Spectrum sequence. As I said previously it happens at the "bookmarking" segment of the importing process. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks ------------- Kevin |

Are you restarting your computer in between uninstall and installing?

The last time I encountered this situation, I narrowed it down to a bad music file. Try importing the sequences minus the music and see what happens.

Ok, I figure it out. I opened the Spectrum sequence in the Spectrum software and ensured that the music file was looking in the correct file for the music wav file...It wasn't. I corrected it and saved the file. I then launched Aurora and was able to open the Spectrum file. So you were correct that it was the music file. All is well

I want to make sure I record this bug properly so we can fix it in the future...
When importing a Spectrum sequence with an invalid audio file, the importer is supposed to prompt for the location of a valid audio file. The nature of this bug is that instead of prompting for the correct file, an error message is thrown instead? ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">
