Error opening sequences, code 13

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Just starting with Aurora 1.0.25, trying to migrate from Spectrum. 

I'm using an AMD Athlon 64, 1 GB RAM, running Win XP (Swedish). 

I have created some very basic sequences and got them to run in the sequencer with lights active. Then I'm saving them, but when I try to load them again I always get "Error: The file could not be opened. (code 13) Aurora will reset." and then it closes. So I'm not able to get back to anything that I have saved. "Use backup workspace" gives the same error. Have tried with MP3 files, and converting them to WAV.

	Problem solved! I changed national settings in Win XP, from Sweden/Swedish to USA/English. No more "code 13" opening sequences. I recalled strange problems that I used to have with Spectrum and even Animated Lighting software that noone else seemed to have, and that the problems had been related to national settings before. I guess all those softwares have been developed using the same tools, maybe Visual Basic or similar. And it seems us non-americans running christmas lighting softwares are a very small minority... Still strange though that we should need to change language settings to run the software. Now I just need to find a way to import .asq Spectrum files into Aurora... Regards, Jonatan Lindell
