Problems with AvsP

[carlmart]

Something strange has started happening with AvsP when I try to open it.

When I click on it, it seems to blink for half a second but it doesn't open. Very strange.

What might be happening?

I did re-install it, that is copy the files again, but nothing.

Windows doesn't show it listed as open when I look at the Task Manager.

What can I do?

It's possible that AvsP is failing during initialisation because of some problem loading Avisynth. Try temporarily removing all third-party plugins and .avsi files from your plugins folder (normally C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\Plugins).

To test your Avisynth installation, can you successfully open a simple Avisynth script in a media player or VirtualDub?

OK. Just did that. Still not loading.

That I did yesterday. It works fine. I did load an avs scipt in VD with no problem.

During the short time AvsP flashes something on the screen, can you make out any error messages or other information?

Check the C:\Program Files\AvsP folder (or wherever you installed the program) for a file called avsp_error_log.txt. There may be a lot of entries in it, but the relevant one will be the last one, with the date and time you tried to run AvsP. If you find something, post the relevant section here.

You could also try deleting (or renaming) the file _last_session_.ses (in the same folder) in case it is trying to open a file from a previous session that is somehow causing a problem.

No, it's too fast.

That did it. Apparently that is what was happening.

Thanks!
