I got a crash "sfp.exe has encountered a problem and has to close" while working on the project. The crash did not occur while loading any particular device, in fact the project had been up and running smoothly and I hadn't changed anything for quite a while, (about 10-15 mins or so). The DSP load was fairly high, but nowhere near maxing out (my system is 2 Scope Professional cards).
Now this particular project refuses to load at all, even though I don't have any problems loading any of my other projects! Every time I try to open this project I get the same error message, "Sfp.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close". It appears to be loading up fine, i.e. all the devices load up one by one as usual, but right at the last second, just before everything would normally appear, it crashes. When I start it up again and load other projects everything appears to be fine...
There is nothing unusual about the project, and I haven't used any devices I don't normally use. I've tried the obvious, restarting the computer etc. but it won't go away. I've also tried re-naming the project, this didn't help either.
Please let me know if there's anything I can do about this, rather than having to try and work out the complete project again from scratch?!
Obviously Scope still knows which devices are being used, so the data has not been completely wiped, because all the devices appear to be loading up correctly when I click open, i.e. it looks completely normal until just before it crashes...I looked for a feature where Scope saves recent backups of projects, like Pro Tools does so that if anything goes badly wrong you know you can always go back to a previous version, however Scope doesn't seem to have anything like this?! Perhaps it would be a good idea to save such backups manually along the way if this kind of thing can happen! (I've never encountered this with Scope before, so didn't consider doing this, but I guess I will have to from now on, unless there is an easy solution).
Thanks for your help.
thanks again.
