"The memory could not be read" error

Post by CADru »

When mixing down to CD I get the following Application error:

The instruction at "0x0" referenced memory at "0x0". The memory could not be "read". Click OK to terminate the program

Do a google search for data execution prevention.

This article from Microsoft explains what it is, and farther down the page it shows how you can tell it to exclude it from acting on programs like Mixcraft.

Here's a quick snippet from the Microsoft article.

Per-program DEP configuration
For the purposes of program compatibility, you can selectively disable DEP for individual 32-bit programs when DEP is set to the OptOut policy level. To do this, use the Data Execution Prevention tab in System Properties to selectively disable DEP for a program. For IT professionals, a new program compatibility fix that is named DisableNX is included with Windows XP SP2. The DisableNX compatibility fix disables Data Execution Prevention for the program that the fix is applied to.

The DisableNX compatibility fix can be applied to a program by using the Application Compatibility Toolkit. For more information about Windows application compatibility, see Windows Application Compatibility on the following Microsoft Web site:
