Access violations can be caused by quite a number of different issues, including but not limited to, out of date plugins, using illegal ("cracked") versions of plugins, compressed files on the hard drive, hard drive errors, unsupported hardware, etc.

So, some quick things to check;

1. Make sure all of your plugins are up to date, valid versions
2. make sure you are using the latest version of the PACE driver from www.paceap.com
3. check your hard drive for errors
4. Check to make sure the drive is not full
5. Check to make sure that the drive and/or it's folders has not been compressed (running the Windows "Disk Cleanup" on a drive can cause this)

If you could please post a plugin list using the utility in the Tech Support Folder, That will allow us to identify any plugins that you have that may be causing this problem due to being out of date or unsupported.

It would also be extremely helpful if you posted details about your system as directed in the General Troubleshooting post above.
