Please HELP!! Save error messages

[thruhiker]

I am getting various different save errors including Can't save while translating tracks or can't locate a certain path, etc.. you name the error and I have likely had it. It happens after I have been working with the session for an extended period of time. I thought the sessions became corrupted somehow. so, I saved a template of it and then rebuilt the session from scratch. Worked great with frequent saving by me until I finished and bounced my mix. then it would not save, or let me save a copy. then gave me a bunch of C++ run-time errors and crashed. Whether I have bounced to 2 track or not makes no difference in the frequency or time of error


This is very frustrating and I've been fighting it for a week to no avail. updated, reinstalled, etc, etc... No info that I have found seems to solve the issue. I've shut off auto save function which was also giving me errors. I found that suggested on this forum, still nothing.

Please help!!! I'm desperate.

Thanks......

Hi, It's hard to say without more info about your system and which version of Pro Tools you're running. Have you tried a clean reinstall of Pro Tools? Have you gone through all the Optimizations for your O/S? Make sure you go through everything here:

Help us Help You - READ THIS Before Posting!

And post a SANDRA report. My first thoughts are a corrupted Pro Tools install, or something wrong in Windows, or possibly some bad RAM.

Thanks!

I am running Pro Tools 10.3.5 on Windows 7. This is a clean install of the updated software. I have performed all of the optimizations and have ran a SANDRA report which appears below.

The first error I get is:
"cannot save "Session_name" because translating tracks
Then:
Could not save "session" because access violation occurred. unable to read location: 0x250048FE.
Then I get"
Can't save due to fatal error
Then it says I need to allocate more memory and then Pro Tools shuts down.

I"ve allocated all the memory I can but still nothing. I have also disabled auto-save function.

Please see report below...and Thanks!

The only dead link I can see is the "Search the Knowledgebase" link, and that link is accessible from the forum header!

[thruhiker]

Yes no problem finding the links I needed despite the dead one.

Have you installed any third party plugins?
Tried starting PT with plugins disabled?

[sunburst79]

Might not hurt to run Memtest+ either
