I just upgraded my computer and the new system came with Vista Home Premium x64. After installing DVD Profiler and restoring my database everything was fine until I installed LoadDVD.  At that point Profiler became very unstable.  The problems range from random program crashes, read and write access violations and database corruptions.  If I uninstall LoadDVD everything is stable again.  I don't know if the problem is with the plugin itself or in how Profiler interacts with it.

If anyone has a solution I'd really appreciate any help you can give.  Also if there is any additional info you need I'd be glad to provide it.

Thanks

Ouch, sorry to hear it. I use LoadDVD every day on Vista 64, Vista 32 and XP Professional. I admit that most often, I am using the latest code that I am debugging.

First of all, I would like to make sure you are using the latest version from my web site. Meanwhile, I will look into putting up what I am using now, without the advanced features that are in debug status.

Not sure what else to specifically recommend at this point. You didn't say, but did you install Net 2.0 from the Microsoft web site?
Thanks for your support.

I've tried all the versions available on your website.  I even tried version 1.58 which I downloaded from a link in the looooong LoadDVD thread.    According to the information in Windows I have .Net 3.5 SP1.  Does .Net 2.0 need to be installed as well?

I'm more than willing to test any code you want tested.

Thanks mediaDogg.

Please install Net 2.0, as documented. There is a link somewhere in the thread, or you can Google it. There is a check for 2.0 in the installation script, so I'm not sure what is going on. At some point, I suspect that I will be compiling plugins using Net 3.5.

.NET 3.5 contains .NET 2.0. Basically 3.5 is an extended 2.0 with more libraries and an extended C# (C# 3.0 instead of 2.0), but it is by defintion compatible.

That's what I thought but I tried it anyway and the install verified that 2.0 was installed as part of the OS.

FYI,  I have the exact same Profiler setup on my laptop which is running 32 bit Vista and everything works fine.

Ok, I'll run thorugh an installation from my web site onto my own V64 system. If Microsoft claims that the 3.5 is compatible with 2.0, so be it, but I get 3 - 5 updates from Microsoft weekly on all my systems for software that has been out of Beta for years.

Hmmm, well I agree something was amiss. What was on the site was noway what I thougt was there. Must have screwed up the upload. Anyway, go get V1.60 and let me know. I won't announce until you verify that it is OK. I also got rid of the annoying re-boot after installation. As usual, un-install the old one first - but you knew that ...

Version 1.60 seems fine so far.  I put it through its paces for about 20 minutes without a single problem.  I could never get the other versions to go that long without crashing at least once.     

Thank you very much.  If anything shows later up I'll post it to this thread.
