Dear List, Looks like I posted too soon - sorry! Was actually 2 different apparently corrupted productions that I was attempting to switch between, which...

Rob, ... I dusted off our test rig w/ SFX 5.6 on it and ran it pretty hard for a few days to see if I could create the same problem. Of course, was not able...
Hi Rob, Following on from Carlton's reply I've had trouble in the past with faulty link cables between the Gina24 and it's PCI card. Because the processing...

Rob When you said memory leak it reminded me of the last time I saw these symptoms. It was a 5.5 box, and it took some months to track the problem to a memory...

Hi Mark, Here are a few things to start off checking... I believe SFX 6.x suggests using XP SP 2 minimum. Are you able to upgrade? What are the specs of your...

Just checked specs on PC... XP pro Version 2002 SP1 Pentium 4 3.0 GHz 2 gigs of Ram Question : can we simply down load SP2 to a flash drive and load it over...
... I assume that when you say you are running SFX 6.0, that you really mean SFX 6.1.x? If not, you should update to the latest non beta build at your ...
... In theory that should work just fine. However if it was me, I would take an image of my system hard drive first. Then update to SP2 or SP3. That way if...

Thank you Richard. Sorry to be a bit of a luddite on this but... could you talk me thru the "Taking an Image of my system hard drive" process. Will I need a...

... You may download just the latest build of SFX 6.1.9. However, there may be a required C++ Library missing from the 6.1.9 install (we'll fix that with...
... SFX 5.6 and 6.0 are really more like two separate programs all together. So you can actually install and/or run SFX 5.6 and 6.0 on the same machine. I ...
