Hi Bernd,

Sometimes, I've got a problem when I open the scheduler window.
The message:

Thank you.

That also indicates a graphics issue (which proves, that my other comment to your other post is correct).
Please reboot your machine...and report, if that error comes up again.
If not, that was clearly a OS/System issue and not a PF one.

Bernd,

After updating my OS, after rebooting my compturer and after updating PFOA...always the same errors.
I run PFOA with Windows 8...any other bugs reported?

- Sometime the scheduler window opens with a big white screen (and a big red cross in the middle)
- Sometime my screen blinks and few second later...PFOA stop working (with an error message).
- sometime the software do not respond and restart...

I've got 2 different graphic cards and the problem is the same with both of them.

Thank you.

I am afraid, that there is not much I can do. There are also no know ProppFrexx issues with Win8 or Win8.1 - except the common and known Windows8 issues.
You might try the latest v3.0.12.12 version.
And also try to upgrade to Win8 SP1 or better Win8.1.

But the error clearly indicates, that no additional window handle could be created due to a Graphics Handle error.
And this is being managed by .Net resp. the graphics driver.

Are you really sure, that your graphics card/driver is fully Win8 certified and compatible?!

Bernd,

I updated my windows version (8.1 now), my graphic cards drivers...and since, no errors...
But this morming another crash when i opened the voice track windows...
I don't know if there is a link...

Thank you.

Thank you...
I'm gonna try to update PFOA asap.

The again looks like the same graphics error.
But it is still not the latest PF version - which is already v3.0.12.13!
