| Posted: | | | | Today I started having a strange exception error every time upon starting DVDProfiler on one computer:
Application Error --------------------------- Exception EAccessViolation in module dvdpro.exe at 00623F76. Access violation at address 00A23F76 in module 'dvdpro.exe'. Read of address 000001D5.
The DVDProfiler debug log has the following entries: 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Application Startup. 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Checking AppInit 2007/11/26 22:37:32: AppInit False 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Check for success 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Freeing AppRegistry 2007/11/26 22:37:32: AppRegistry Free 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Checking additional params 2007/11/26 22:37:32: Creating splash 2007/11/26 22:37:33: Splash shown.

Read of address 000001D5 2007/11/26 22:37:54: Freeing splash
The database is stored on my server (Windows Small Business Server 2003R2), to which the "\My Documents folder\DVD Profiler\" folder is also redirected. Both are cached for off-line use and I use roaming user profiles stored on the server. This allows me to log on from either of two laptops or a workstation to open the DVDProfiler database - whether I'm connected to the network or not. DVDProfiler is only opened on one PC at any one time. The two laptops still open DVDProfiler (and the database) without a problem, but the workstation now crashes out at the DVDProfiler splash screen. I've tried the usual removal and re-install, wiping registry entries, starting with a blank database, repairing the database, etc., without success. Running v.3.1.1.1171 on WinXP-Sp2, fully patched.
From the various sized windows that quickly open and close before the splashscreen starts to appear (and crashes), I suspect it may have something to do with display drivers - even though neither they nor program or other updates have been installed since the last time the program launched successfully. A re-install of display drivers hasn't helped.
Are there any command line switches that can be used with DVDProfiler? |

| Posted: | | | | Sorry. Not yet reported to KC. Had to stop playing and dig a customer out of a self dug hole - only just finished at 01:45 am! The joys of being self-employed. |

| Posted: | | | | Found the cause! A clash/incompatibility between DVDProfiler and Matrox PowerDesk HF settings. When used with a Windows desktop spread over multiple monitors, Matrox PowerDesk allows applications to open and/or be maximized on particular displays. These settings cause DVDProfiler to crash when launched. |
