Access Violation on autorun termination

[francisq]

Using AMS4.0 and Win Me. I have an application that, amongst other things, plays MP3's. If I play any MP3 then when I close the application (Exit Button, etc) then I receive a message "Error: access violation at 0x004A24DA (tried to write to 0x024C11BC), program terminated". Ok - I was terminating anyway. Problem is that after this Windows Explorer becomes unstable and I have to reboot.
The problem only occurs if I LOAD an MP3. If no MP3 is accessed then there is no problem on termination.
Also the problem does not occur when I use the project preview function - only occurs when I run the autorun.exe that is built.
Any ideas?

What build of the product are you currently using, found under HELP->ABOUT AUTOPLAY MEDIA STUDIO?

Re: Access Violation on autorun termination

I was using 4.0.0.0 trial - however the problem seems to have been that in my On Application Exit I had an MP3.Stop but in Project proerties the action for MP3.stop was Application.Exit.
So whilst trying to exit I stopped the MP3 which then tried to exit. Which then did an MP3.Stop...?
I took the application exit action out of On MP3.Stop and things got better.

Now I've installed 4.0.0.2 trial and it bombs out every 30 minutes or so whilst in the Design module with the same sort of "access violation" message!

Now where did I put that 4.0.0.0 trial version?
Regression, regression... :-(

The latest version is actually 4.0.0.3 now...you might want to give that a shot.

Thanks Lorne - I'll give it a try.

At least the dreaded machine freezes during build in 4.0.0.0 seem to have disappeared for good!
