BFD2 and Windows 7 64 bit

[theblue1]

I'm sure they will be.

What host app are you running -- or was that the standalone?



It's a bit preliminary to be pinning blame -- or even to necessarily assume that one non-functioning installation signals they will all fail -- but I noted that it was the 3rd party sector that pushed MS hard to rush the release of Vista (of which I was no big fan, neither here nor there) and then were themselves largely not ready with stable, Vista-ready drivers. (MS shares some blame there, too, of course, since they were changing the feature set [mostly simply removing stuff] perilously close to the release date. But many 3rd parties [but probably not FXpansin, mind you] driven by a desire to churn the market and drive new sales but then not, themselves, ready, deserve special opprobrium, seems to me.)

It was reported on the FXpansion support forum that it works....

BFD2 was working fine in standalone, but when I would enter Pro Tools, it would ask for the data paths again and then crash. After searching the web and fiddling around for 2 weeks I finally woke up to the answer of running BFD2 on Pro Tools without the crashing.

FIX:
1: Go to your BFD2 FOLDER (( C:\Program Files (x86)\FXpansion\BFD2 ))
2: Right click over the BFD2 (.exe) icon and go down to PROPERTIES
3: Click on the COMPATABILITY tab
4: Click the check box on to "Run this program in compatability mode for" Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
5: Bottom corner "Ok" and you`re set to go!!

Enjoy!

It works fine with standalone, but unless you have version 2.3.x, it crashes when you run Pro Tools 8.0.5 on Win7 64bit
