CWAF crashes

[Lisa Will]

Hello!  I just started using Bandlab's Cakewalk.  I was a longtime user of Sonar's product and I'm trying to rebuild old projects with this new version.

I'm running CWAF to find all my projects/audio files.

But every time I run it, it crashes to the desktop.

I've tried selecting different drives to search, I've run it in administrator mode, still crashes.

Please advise.

I've attached my system info.  Please let me know if there's anything else I can provide.

Thanks!   Lisa W.

The only crash I have ever had with CWAF was related to having a project folder nested within another project folder.  It was a long time ago so I don't remember the exact situation, but IIRC, I found it by watching the status bar at the bottom of CWAF to see what folder it was scanning when it crashed.

It may also help to exclude as many non-project-related folders as possible.

Here's a post about how I set it up and use it:

Awesome tips!  I'll give these a try, thanks David!
