Access Violation Exception
For some unknown reason, Xara Extreme 3.0.2 keeps crashing when I attempt to open certain previously created graphics. I cannot figure why it opens some but not others. It keeps giving me a "Access Violation Exception" error and shutting down.
Also, when I hit the Help/Update choice, it crashes the program too.
When I double click on a photo to open the editor, it also crashes.
I have no clue why this all of sudden is happening, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jeff and welcome to the Xtreme Conference.
Something is wrong here. :eek::eek::eek:
Have you installed any new software since you installed Xtreme?
I would recommend 1. You close Xara and reboot your computer.
If the problem persists, do a complete uninstall and a clean re-install.
Let us know if this helps.

Well, I installed Xara Extreme Pro way back when 3.0 first got released, so sure, I have installed lots of software since then...lol.
It worked fine about a month or so ago, so it has to have been something since then that has caused the problem. Not sure what I have done lately that could be the issue. I uninstalled the program and am reinstalling now. Will see what happens.
Re: Access Violation Exception
No, didn't help. It still crashes when trying to open certain files.
Re: Access Violation Exception
Well, low and behold, after trying a couple other things, a pop-up box opened saying something about DEP security, and asked to allow Xara access, and I said yes, and all seems to be working now.

That's sounds better.
Don't you just hate things like that? :mad:
Nice way to start off the new year.
