[Kevin]

ok good news

[Phillip]

Hello,

How are you ? Fine I hope ! 

Just installed Spark 1.6.1 and upon launch I keep getting these 2 Error:result messages layered over each other in plug-in and standalone modes ! 

OS X 10.6.8

I have attached an image file of the 2 Error:result messages. 

One Love.

God Bless.

Im still getting a lot of crashing whilst saving user kits, I'm not sure where Windows creates a dump file Kevin, can you point me in the right direction?

Its far from unusable but it does crash fairly often, even when its the sole application running.

@Phillip: can you check that you have the correct permission in Spark Library folder?
You need to have write access.

@kcearl: maybe this is also a permission issue. I am guessing that because it is happening when you are saving a project.
concerning the dump file, I need to send you a development version to get useful information. The dump file are also quiet big (several hundreds of megabytes). Maybe you can check the permission first then we will see what happens.

at the moment im making an OP-1 kit and it is crashing every single save, not just sporadically as before....

[kcearl]

In library permissions its saying "read only", even when i change it and click "Apply" it goes back to read only when I re-open it....is there a way to remedy this?

though as user and administrator I have write permission. but now every kit i try to save crashes Spark...it wasnt behaving like this yesterday

[Kevin]

Are you administrator of the computer?

[kcearl]

Yes, even if i run as administrator its crashing....

[kcearl]

So Ive checked maschines library and kontakts, I have the same permissions and can save these with no problems. So Im not sure is the permissions as it says both my username and administrator have write permissions in properties

[Kevin]

What version are you using? 1.6.1?
You could try to backup the user projects and reinstall the program.
I have uploaded 1.6.1.1 here. It solves a problem that is not related to that but it is worth a try.
If it does not solve the problem maybe we could consider the dump file.

[kcearl]

Ok Kevin I think Ive found a resolution (trouble shooting windows is becoming part of my music production lol)

- first I made sure all users were running Spark as admin, even though theres only one user go into "change setting for all users" and click "all users".

- I also went through this procedure http://support.microsoft.com/kb/256614 (#7 in the workaround section) through Cmd.exe


Ive loaded a few kits and saved changes and it hasn't crashed...as I'm mostly making kits in Spark Ill update you if it gets sporadic crashes again, for now this may have solved it

[Kevin]

ok thanks for the update.
finger crossed

[kcearl]

lol, still crashing...not as much but hey


ill try 1.6.1.1

[Phillip]

Hello,

How are you ? Fine I hope ! 

Starting up smooth now !   

I installed 1.6.1.1

I have my Spark Library installed on another internal hard drive from system boot hard drive.
Within Arturia folder I trashed 2 folders, Audio folder which contained a Plug-Ins folder which contained Spark VST and Spark Component and Application Support folder which contained Digidesign folder which contained Plug-Ins folder which contained Spark Vintage Drum Machines.dpm..

Hope that makes some sense to you. 

Spark Library on other internal drive as: Arturia Spark Libraries/Library/Arturia/Spark/Spark Library. 

All seems to be OK at startup with no error messages !   

Strange ! 

One Love.

God Bless.

Hi Phillip,
I hope you did not trash the whole folders "Audio" and "Application Support" because these are system folders and you might have serious problem using other applications.
If you only have deleted Spark.vst, Spark.component and Spark.dpm, everything is fine .
