vstudio.exe - Application Error

RTR1944 · Post by **RTR1944** » Thu Aug 09, 2007 12:14 am

This message has come up when I want to go back and make some minor adjustments:

"The instruction at '0x0d697545' referenced memory at '0x0d697545'. The memory could not be 'read'.
Click on OK to terminate program
Click on CANCEL to debug program"

Help! This is very frustrating in that it didn't do it a week ago when I wanted to the same type of slight adjustment.

Thanks

That sort of message can happen in a couple of circumstances. The simplest (potentially) is that some aspect of Video Studio has come into conflict with some other program which is running on your computer, and both are trying to access the same address in your RAM at the same time, and the other program has got there first. That's one of the reasons we suggest you turn off as many background programs and operations as possible while running Video Studio.... Sometimes turning off VS, or more extreme, rebooting the computer, can solve the problem.

More seriously, that sort of message can also be a harbinger of problems with one of your sticks of RAM. For example, I started getting this message a couple of weeks after buying a new computer. I tried everything else to rectify it, thinking that since the computer was so new, nothing would be wrong with its hardware. But finally, the company that made the computer for me sent me a RAM test and when I ran it a few times, it turned out one small part of one stick of RAM was failing to carry out an operation. The company replaced the stick for me and I never got the message again. So you might want to do a Google for a RAM test (generally freeware) and run it a few times. If nothing else, it will settle your mind that your RAM is fine... And if not, well, at least RAM is relatively cheap these days.

It is also possible that a source file might have become corrupted.
Try checking each individual source file by opening them independantly of VideoStudio. If one has become corrupt it most probably will fail to open.

I shut down all the other programs, re-booted, re-started, and all the source files opened independent of VS and I got the same message. I'll work on the RAM test and get back to you

I shut down an application that had been running and that seems to have solved the problem. But, this same application was running on my previous adjustments! Don't ask me why! Sometimes computers have a mind of their own!

Out of interest - and in case other forum members become similarly afflicted, what was the application that caused this error?

It was Orb which, when I shut it off, settled things down a bit to allow me to do one short project but now I'm getting the same application error message but with different numbers even with Orb shut down. I guess I'll call the Dell techies tomorrow and see what they say. In the meantime, I remain

FRUSTRATED!

Time to run the RAM test, if you haven't already done so.

Actuslly, I tried disabling Windows Live Messenger and Orb and that seemed to work for now.

You seem a bit resistant to the idea of a RAM test...

It's also worth considering if you have installed an application between the two times you edited.

I'm not that resistent to the RAM test - it will probably be done when I have a little time to talk to the Dell techies. I sense that may be the long term solution

And, no, there was not another application installed between edits but thanks for the idea

Do you have zonealarm installed by any chance, that memory reference error happens alot of the time with zonealarm installed, i have zonealarm installed and i often get that error msg but mines vsmon I know yours is videostudio but if you have zonealarm installed i think that might be why your getting it! if you dont then just ignore me ill go away eventually!

A ram check might also do good.
