Access violation - heeelp?

How come I get this:
Access violation exception at offset 0x020090DC in one particular file. I then copied the content to a new file, but it keep giving me this error?

I use Windows Vista Ultimate

Helle :(

I just received the CD by mail - should I reinstall the program?

At what point is the AV generated? I ask because it sounds like you can at least open the file.

You will need to install the CD version eventually (90 days I believe) as the DL version will expire, even though you have entered a product serial.

I usually see Access violation errors when I am pushing xpro to it's limits and beyond. I don't see it unless I am tryting to do something. What are you trying to get Xpro to do when you get the error?:)

I have no idea if I am near a limit!

I'm drawing the Ford Shelby Cobra logo. Doing it manually with a photo in the background. I hope this is not a limit *s*

I cannot reopen the file afterwards. It says the file has a read error. As soon as the message comes I copy everything and paste in into a new document.... I have now made a couple of "safe" files...

I had 3-4 layers. he top layer had two or three shapes with bevels, that is about it...

I have now installed the CD version (don't know if it will help)

thanks for your fast reply

Unfortunately the CD version won't change anything for the corrupt file.

Please download and try ExpandXar.

If you have any trouble with it's usage, post back and I (or someone else) will help futher.

Looks like your file got corrupted some how... (the magic of computers I guess) the expandxar application can go in and fix minor errors, that is why Steve suggested you run it.

Your file must not be too corrupted so it just might get fixed by this program. If that is not much help, you can post the corrupted file here and Charles and crew can take a look at it and see what is goofy with the file. They know what should or shouldn't be in the file (they wrote the program, they should). So the one object that is messed up they can delete from the file and resave it... Now you will have a working file minus 1 object you will need to redraw.

Expanxar will not work if the file size is 0 tho... That is just an empty file.:)

hmm, not sure this can be recovered. It is only 1 kb big?
I would love to know what the problem is.....


Helle :-)

Yep - no meat in that one:

I confirm that:

So is all hope gone as to what created that error you think?
