My PT12 regularly locks up with the following messages displayed;

Invalid pointer.

Acceess violation at address 00405020 in PTWexe etc.etc.

I put in the update for pt12 and ignored all the warnings and installed but it is now freezing more regularly.

Can anyone please tell me what is wrong and help please?

Only support can say what the violation number means.

Are you using a mouse or laptop touch-pad? What operating system are you using and are you on the standard pointer? This will help us understand the problem.

What warnings did you ignore? I don't get warning when installing patches.

And just to be clear...are you talking about PowerTracks version 12 or version 2012 (some people like to drop the "20" when talking about the versions that have the year). I'm guessing 12, since there are no patches for 2012, but just want to be sure.

What operating system are you using?

Ah!

I am using a stylus and tablet. But it does lock up even without an action with the stylus. But next session I will use a mouse (wireless)
W7 64 bit I am using at the present time but it did it with XP and tablet as well.

It does begin to look like the problem is with the tablet and stylus. Try disconnecting it from the computer when running PowerTracks.

Yes. after version 12 there's been PT2011 and the current PT2012. If you're looking to up-grade watch out for PT2013 early in the New Year. (Usually Jan but can be as late as March.)

Actually there's also a 2010 version (and as ROG pointed out, a 2011 and 2012 version).

Quite right, John. Don't know how I missed that, particularly as the disk is sitting on my spindle!

I am pleased to report that using a mouse instead of the tablet I have not had a lock up since.

So thanks.

However it does not happen in other apps. imaging, office, etc. etc.
