Heli-X Closes on Launch - OSX

Post by 4n6Days »

I have a macbook running OSX 10.5. I had installed the Heli-X demo a while ago and tonight, I tried to install 3.0 and see how it ran on the mac.


When I click on the program it starts to launch, the splash screen comes up for a second then it closes.

Hello,

there was a problem with "old" 2.0 version, and I guess you are launching it.

You should remove COMPLETELY the old version including the personal library folder, then install 3.0 again. The first start takes some time.

...

You mean it worked for three weeks but now it crashes?

Please send me the complete output of the console window, if possible.

Hi,

the log descibes problems in org.tritonus.share.sampled.file.TAudioFileReader

These are problems with the ambient sound. It might be, that this was the first time you used an airport with ambient sounds or you switched them on, or the native libs on your Mac have changed ....

You should switch off the ambient sound. This could be done in Settings->Performance if HELI-X was running ... ;-)

Thus, delete the file files/Application/ApplicationSettings.xml

After that, the ambient sound is switched off.

It worked! Great support :-) I didn't even realized this could have something to do with ambient sound settings. Thanks a lot Michael.

Hm. I started having problems again during next start. So I've decided trying deleting all HELI-X folder from my local Library. Now it looks I'm having with activation full version. Do you check it online and allow only one activation? If so is there any chance to reset my activation so I can activate it again?
