Hey there, everyone. It's been a few years since I've been here. I just
tried to fire up the ol' PARIS and am having trouble initializing the
hardware. When PARIS loads and it says "initializing hardware resources"
the clip lights on the Audio Inputs light up on the MEC, but then it reverts
to the blinking INTERNAL clock light. The C-16 does nothing. Any ideas?

reseat the EDS card, remove, clean and reseat the daughterboard, reseat
ribbon connectors, remove scherzo drivers and reinstall, turn off all
unused ports in bios(usb, serial, parallel), remove all other cards till
you get it. remove/reinstall paris

that's all i can think of.

Thanks for your suggestions, John. I tried all of that except for
messing with the bios. I'm actually not sure how to access the bios on
this machine (Compaq Presario). I tried DEL, F1 and F2 (ones that work
on other MOBOs). It seems strange that I don't get an error message in
PARIS. Also, when I quit PARIS, the Input Clip LEDs light up again.
Isn't there a PARIS log file that might help diagnose the problem? I
remember seeing that before (back in the day), but I cannot locate it
now. Where might I find it?

J.R.

How to report errors to ID:
=================================
1) Generate application messages with this occurring and send me the app
messages file? The procedure for this is below:

Win9x:
- Right click on PARIS app icon to get menu,
- Click with left button on open, but don't let go,
- Hold down control and alt,
- Let go (launch),
- When you see the window at the bottom of the screen you can let go of
alt/control.

After you produce the problem quit PARIS. You will see a file named
"AppMessages.txt" in the PARIS application folder.

- Send support@intdevices.com the AppMessages.txt file content with
DETAILED description of system and problem.

============================================================
one step further, if youve got a client in a few hours,
then you might find it useful to at least have a bare bones
paris running. think of it as "safe mode" - you should

1. deactivate the VST plugins (just drag the content of your VST plugin
folder into a subfolder called "were closed today" or something ;)

2. deactivate the direct x plugins. in the paris.cfg file, theres a line
saying:

DisableDirectX=0

change that to 1. or vice versa, if its 1, change it to 0,
not sure which one was which.


3. fwiw, just in case, you can even disable the paris fx, which
should disable the EDS daughterboard. thats just a guess but
still worth trying IMHO. heres a quote from an edmund post
how to do it (i hope quoting edmund when its about stuff like that is ok :):

-----------------------
Put the following line:

TestFXEnabled=0

============================================================
Assertion Error

Assertion failed File Cache.c:439offset>=0&&offset<p->count

This usually happens after something bad happens (like disk I/O error,
corrupted file, etc). It shouldn't, and there are other error codes meant
to intercept these situations, but when really bad things happen sometimes
you will see assertion failures. They are controlled exits in catastrophic
sitations.

Now that I have scared the begeezes out of you:

- Do a scan disk of all volumes with surface scan,
- Increase the disk cache by a meg or two,
- Let me know if this happens again.
============================================================
Error Initializing Paris Engine: Error Code 7/7 error 7/7
means that paris can't see the EDS card

(1) The EDS Card is lose
-or-
(2) IRQ resource conflict

The MEC will flash until Paris has booted up, so that is normal.
You're turning on the MEC first right and giving it 5 seconds before
turning on the PC.
============================================================
Error in initializing Paris Engine.Error Code 1/1
Error in initializing Paris Engine.Error Code 40/28
=================================
ERROR: error code 1007/3ef. because you forgot to install
media player which is a requirement for using Paris 1.81b
============================================================ ======
Corrupted Default Project 'unhandled exception: c0000005 at
address: 00481382'

'Paris has caused an error in Paris.exe'

1. Delete or move the offending default project file out of the Paris
directory.
2. Deinstall Paris.
3. Go to the windows system folder and
a. delete the directory that says Ensoniq if present
b. delete the file Paris_StudioControlLibrary.dll if present
c. Reinstall Paris
4. Start with one card.
5. If necessary, go to plain vanilla sytem, meaning ALL cards removed except
for video and 1-EDS. Once that is working, start adding others one at a
time until all is working.

I am not suspecting your card swapping for the moment because it sounds like
the hardware initialized, but then could not open the default_project.ppj.

This makes me think it was a corrupted ppj file, or other corrupted Paris
components. Hence the above advice.

Some things to make note of:
1. Did Paris work initially with your new advancesys scsi card or did it
stop working immediately after you installed the new card?

2. If you remove the advancesys and put everything else back where it was
before, does it all work fine? (you may need to force a PnP update via your
bios)

What you need to do is increase the disk cache size under Preferences. Try
increasing this number by 1-2 MB at a time until the errors go away.
========================================================
ERROR: EDS Cards are not connected properly You may experience
playback problems

You just need to criss cross the two 16 pin cables and connect the 10
pin straight across. That message definitely means the cables are wrong.
========================================================
ERROR: Error code on new EDS install- Error 61/-3D
========================================================
error in playback 1879048195/70000003"

Do you have a stereo plugin strapped accross 2 tracks of unequal lengths?

Joe, Sure enough, you were right. I checked a few edits, and there was one
fade that was off by just a touch. I fixed this, and I'm back in business.
Thanks for the suggestion.

This is a new one on me. Usually if there is an unequal fade problem with a
stereo plug-in, the error shows up only when the now line is approaching
that point. On this one, however, I could put the cursor 6 minutes before
that edit, or 6 minutes after it where there were no audio files playing,
and it would still happen.
========================================================
Started to get error code: error in queing project. Error code
1879048233/70000029 every time I try to record.
Does anyone know what this means? I did a search and found others who
had the problem, but no answers as to why.

Try resetting the record path to a new empty folder.
Or if you are on the Mac and running anything before OS 9 you may have
run out of open files (MacOS limit). If this is the case try clearing
unused files from the audio window.

===
Streaming Errors:
I've done some more experimenting. I lowered the vcache min and max to
8192, and the streaming errors returned. I set the values to 32768, and
voila -- no more streaming errors.

Wow! Thanks! That should keep me busy. Thankfully, there is no
urgency to fix this. I have been using Digital Performer since '02.
I'd like to get PARIS going again to bring back some of my personal
stuff that I never had time to move over... Anyway, I'll post any
updates here. Thanks again!

J.R.,

Didn't we meet back around 1999 over at my place on Westlake Drive? I think
I remember you from somewhere.

Regards

Hi Doug! Yeah, we met at Musicmakers, when the Ensoniq (or was it
Emu?) rep was there. Never made it out to your place before you moved,
though. It's nice to see familiar names here on the old newsgroup,
even after 4 years. It's quite nostalgic, really. :)
