Can't get Cubase SX 3 to start :-(

[cjw1378]

Well, in the hope of revising this thread, I thought I'd do a bit more research...

So, the "Starting Cubase" box appears, and this time I noted down exactly what happened an when.

- lots of "scanning for plugins"

- when the status window says "initializing: hpipxmui", I get "Error loading the Tcp Mib library", close the dialog box and continue..

- more "scanning for plugins"

- when the status window says "initializing: hptcpmui", I get "Error loading the Tcp Mib library", close the dialog box and continue

- more "scanning for plugins"

- when the status window says "initializing: Sim", I get "Hardware version 12 detected", close the dialog box and continue

- more "scanning for plugins"

- when the status windows says "user32", I get the famous WinXP error box "Cubasesx3 has encountered a problem and needs to close"

*sigh*

So, anyone got any clues how to tackle any of he above?

Failing that, anyone know how to control what plugins cubase scans for?

And finally, anyone know how to get hold of someone at Steinberg who may be able to help?

cheers,

Chris

YAY! FINALLY FIXED IT!

See:
http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=23803

For some insane reason, my VSTPluginsPath had got set to C:.

No idea why that would be, or what would have caused it, but I've now set it back to a somewhat sane C:Program FilesSteinbergCubase SX 3Vstplugins (which I'm guessing will be fine for using Scope in non-XTC mode, right?) I've finally got SX3 to start...

...so, anyone know any good books on using SX3?

(and anyone got any good tips on using a Pulsar 2 running Scope 4.0 with SX3?)

thompson technologies sells cool breeze system's csi series. there are excellent books and videos for all the popular sequencers.

i like the videos. the series is called cool school interactus.
