Access violation the four thousand six hundred seventeenth

Don't know, maybe the problem of the access violation only exists on the southern hemisphere, but here it's very easy to replicate:

--> close a file = access violation
--> close the program = access violation
--> editing/working for more than an hour = access violation

And yes, the problem is around for 15 years ore more, but now it became massive.

Removing the heavy sound it's producing, just would be a welcomed starting point, as access violation always occurrs twice, it wakes everyone up, even the deaf old dog, not even mentioning the bearded grandfather, walking around asking 'what happened? , what happened?'

So some mercy to us and a Happy New Year to all!

You can still report bugs here, that is fine and very welcome.
Please use an most descriptive Subject line (PSPad version, what happens,...).

Hi,
just some more or less general guesses/suggestions -
does this error occur in a clean PSPad install - i.e. if you just unpack the current full version pspad504en.zip to some new empty folder (with read and write access) and then run PSPad.exe ?

If this would fix the problem, there might be some mismatch in the (possibly older) settings.

Is some specific file involved or does it crash with the mentioned exception on any file for you?

Do you use WSH-scripting? If it is activated, can you try to disable it temporarily and see, whether the crashes continue?

hth,
vbr

--> does this error occur in a clean PSPad install clean PSPad install portable version (read/write there), no older settings available

--> Is some specific file involved or does it crash
allways happened (started using PSPad in 2004 or 2005), files changed with time, but now it became massive (and happens always twice withe the same file closing it)

--> Do you use WSH-scripting
no and never used it

I noticed it happens frecuently when PSPad tries to add/quit a third file-tab-line, maybe that's a hint ...

Please change skin from carbon to windows. Does it happen too?
