Error during initialization of plugin...

Hello there,

I hope you can help me. I've been using DMX Control for about four years on a single PC, and I use it as part of my sound and lighting hire system. I decided recently that I would get hold of another rack PC for taking out and about in case the first stopped working for some reason.

However, in the process of putting together this install of DMX Control, I've come up against a few problems. I've managed to get all my programs transferred, all my MadMaxOne settings running, but what I am having difficulty with is actually initializing the DMX interface, my Aurora Afterglow 2.

The error is very non-specific, and I've gone through all the threads I can find related to the type of problem on here. I've even tried the Pluginadministrator.exe app but with no success.

Attached is an image which is at the heart of the problem, and any suggestions would be appreciated, as I've not had this kind of problem before.

Regards,

Daniel Edwards

The only major difference is that the PC here is an Intel Celeron 1.6, simply because its a 1U 19" rack PC. The other PC is a 64 bit AMD PC. Both are running Windows XP Pro with SP3.

The old config is running DMX Contol 2.10, and here I've installed the latest 2.12 version. All the drivers on both are exactly what came on the CD with the Aurora Afterglow2.

I don't understand what the problem is here. I would have thought it would just run fine like the other setup. I have managed to install DMX Control with the version 2.12 and the Aurora Afterglow on many installation jobs in the past at a number of venues but I going round in circles with this one.

Thanks for replying.

Thank you Hoc, and thank you Phil,

I'm pleased to report that the Enttec Open DMX USB plug in works perfectly - so far. I need to get the entire system set up to see if there are any problems, as I only have one moving head to hand at the moment. Communication with the Afterglow seems to be running at the full 44 fps.

I can't understand why this works but the purpose built Afterglow plug-in doesn't. It seems to be very hit and miss. I may have to look into another USB controller for peace of mind. Is there anything in the 100 Euros mark you would recommend?

Warm regards,

Daniel
