XTC mode suddenly stopped working :o|

[Hattrixx]

I've got to be quick as I'm in an Internet café, but here's a run down of my story...

1) Everything was working fine for months and months

2) Loaded Cubase 5 this afternoon and it came up with an error instead of the XTC logo. The error said "Cannot load application, command line missing" or something very similar to that.

3) Another error comes up, same as in this guy's post (basically moaning about SFP mode not being active): http://forums.planetz.com/download/file.php?id=3828

4) Once Cubase finally loads, the samplerate is wrong, I can't change the clock source (it's greyed out) or go to the control panel (clicking does nothing) and my ADAT / A16 connections aren't there! Basically XTC mode is off.

I've inspected files and settings and directories and the XTCProject.pro, but my knowledge of how the SCOPE thing works is not too hot. I also opened the computer and checked all connections, but next I'm going to try taking the card out and putting it back in. Any help would be massively appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
Owen...

Hi mate,
we hope that we're not too late and you didn't put your system on fire!!!
we had the same problem since about a week ago.the xtc suddenly stopped working and the routing window on the sfp was totally screwed!!! every time we tried to open any sequencer ( nuendo ,cubase) we came across the message that you have attached( about the command line)!
so after many many coffees, orange juices,cigarettes and junk food we came up with the solution!
the problem is in a .ini file called cset.you can find it on C:\Scope_4_5\App\Bin ( you could open it via notepad, and DO so )
we changed some values on the asio parameter (from 0 to 1) and it worked!!!!!!see the details below.
[ASIO]
XTCMode=1
application=C:/Scope_4_5/App/XTCApp/XTC.pro
Pluginwrapper1=C:/Scope_4_5/App/XTCApp/vstsynthplugin.mdl
Pluginwrapper2=C:/Scope_4_5/App/XTCApp/vstplugin.mdl
Pluginwrapper3=C:/Scope_4_5/App/XTCApp/vstplugin.mdl
Pluginwrapper4=C:/Scope_4_5/App/XTCApp/vsthostplugin.mdl

in addition we also changed the static path parameter as below
[StaticPath]
Modules=
Modular=C:/Scope_4_5/Modular2 Modules/
Projects=C:/Scope_4_5/Projects/Examples/
Effects=C:/Scope_4_5/Devices/Effects/
Presets=C:/Scope_4_5/Presets/
HardwareIOs=C:/Scope_4_5/App/Application/IOs/Hardware/
SoftwareIOs=C:/Scope_4_5/App/Application/IOs/Software/
Bitmaps=C:/Scope_4_5/MRC Skins/
Devices=C:/Scope_4_5/Devices/
Samples=C:/Scope_4_5/Samples/

finally,delete any gaps(space) if existe on the beginnig of the .ini file.
so check it out and see what's missing from your file!!

hope we helped you
cheers from Greece
