mdarch Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We're running VW 11.51 on Win XP. All been fine until just recently. All of a sudden, VW has started truncating the filenames to DOS versions, eg "Long filename" becomes "Long~1" or similar, and then various menu items just stop working. When you try to edit the workspace, those items are shown crossed out, yet still exist in the plug-ins folder. Then you get a message saying the workspace can't be changed. All very mysterious and frustrating. Possibly related to a file that perhaps has some bad element, as this started on another machine and only happened on mine once I opened a file that had been edited on that other machine. Have tried re-installing VW, back to normal, and then seems to fail again. Any ideas, corrupt DLLs etc? Quote Link to comment

mdarch Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 yes, that fixed it, had to go back to Quicktime 7.3.1 before things worked, thanks for the tip. I should have asked here earlier, would have saved me several hours of uninstalling and re-installing Quote Link to comment
