Search screen bug and Window pains -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Search screen bug and Window pains Posted by: vitalforces Date:11/24/2002 12:15:31 AM Anyone have a problem with: (1) Sound Forge 6.0 crashing when you click on the Search tab in the help screen, type in a search term, and then hit the "List Topics" button? Or: (2) Moving a dockable window and the whole GUI goes nuts, erases itself and freezes?

The problem has to do with the plugin not initializing properly and as a result not tidying things up very well if that happens. Do one of the following to work around this: a. Install QuickTime 5.0.2 or later. You'll need to do a Custom install, and be sure to include the authoring components (I recommend installing everything as it appears there are more cross-dependencies among the components than in earlier QT versions, particularly if you plan to render to QuickTime). or, b. If you don't need to read or write QuickTime files (.mov) then find qt5plug.dll under Sound Forge 6.0's install folder and rename it to something else. That way Sound Forge won't try to use it. (2) I'm not sure about this one. Perhaps the workaround above will correct this too?
