Happen135 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Computer 1: Windows 11 Home Edition, M.2 hard drive, VStudio 100 sound card. Computer 2: Windows 10 Professional Edition, SATA hard drive, VStudio 700 package. When copying project files from computer 1 to computer 2 (where the project files are saved exactly the same), the screen crashes almost every time it is opened, and restarting the computer cannot avoid it. Sometimes it can be opened and played, but there is no sound. There is a very low probability that it can be opened for normal use, but it may also crash during processing. What went wrong with this? Do you have any friends in the same situation as me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberwolf Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Since we have no information on what "the engineering file" is, or what is in it or how it is setup, we can't really answer anything directly. But if the file uses plugins, you can test to see if it is a plugin in the file by opening in safe mode, by holding the Shift key while you open the project.

It is a MIDI orchestration project that uses a lot of soft audio sources and FX plugins, such as kontakt, waves, etc. In order to avoid crashing, I installed the cakewalk, audio source location, FX plugin installation location, and version number on both computers exactly the same, but still couldn't avoid crashing. I tried holding down the Shift key to open it, but there was no sound playing and there was a very low probability that it would work smoothly. So, I saved it as a new CWP file as quickly as possible, but the next time I opened it, it would crash. Is it because the CPUs, memory frequencies, and hard drives of the two computers are not consistent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have my curiosity. What is the engineering file? Are you talking about the *.cwp file, aka a project file? (Not sure what your native language is, but I guess the word for "project" could be translated to "engineering.")

David Baay Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'm going to suggest running the VC Redist repair tool linked in the post below. If the problem persists, it may be due some plugin-related race condition that has a different outcome on the two machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
