MDrummer error all of a sudden.....

[edkilp]

Hi guys, Anyone know what might be causing this to happen? It's never happened before and I've owned MD for a few years now. Not having anything like this with any other programs. Windows 7, 64 bit, Raedon 5450 graphics card, I think. Has a gig of onboard memory.

Oh, it only happens when I opem MDrummer, either as standalone or in Reaper. Runs just fine, and looks like it always has looked. So the performance isn't suffering, but I just get this every time I open it

Nobody?

Hi edkilp, have you checked in device manager..anything there about it?

[edkilp]

Device manager is all clear. No errors. I formatted my computer and reinstalled everything from scratch. that's when it started happening. And when I check for updates in MDrummer, it tells me there's a new version 6.05 available, and I'm already running 6.06. I get that same error screen when I open the configuration tool as well.

And you have looked at the GPU acceleration settings in MD?
I'm on 6.06 and get "no new updates have been found" when checking.

I'd suggest updating Windows and GPU drivers. If that wouldn't help (considering you have Radeon, it wouldn't be the first time, they really need to work on the drivers... but they don't care... these are for games), just disable the GPU acceleration in the main menu. It's global for all our plugins.

Disabling the GPU acceleration stopped the error from popping up. I suppose it's possible that my graphics card is getting bad. This isn't the newest computer in the world, but it's been perfectly ok for many years. Thanks guys
