Hi, problem with Avid shutting down randomly. One PC has just started doing this - I thought it was just on a particular project that got corrupted but it seems it's a general problem. It's had this error for a couple of weeks - I updated from Avid 8.4 to the latest 8.5.3 to see if that help, but it didn't.
Normally it just shuts down with a windows error message of 'Avid editor has stopped working' but this morning I got this error code:
mac2qt_assert: !m_nativePaintingStarted
Location: ..\..\src\QtPixmap.cpp:107_cdecl
Mac2Qt::BitMapPtr::~BitMapPtr(void)
Googling it doesn't return any results. It would seem to be something to do with quicktime but it has a fresh install of the correct quicktime version. I tried the recommended Nvidia drivers but then my composer window wouldn't display properly so I have now rolled back to 347.52.
Might to do with quite an old GPU (Quadro FX5500) I guess...? I'm about to update to Win 10 anyway so might try removing Avid completely and reinstalling, unless any has a fix for this?
Thanks in advance
Dan
