"Unknown Exception" Error--- anyone else?

[mistermarr]

Hi there folks-
I already searched motu's tech docs with no luck. Switching between projects and sometimes between chunks within projects I am frequently getting this:

Digital Performer has encountered an error.

Unknown Exception error reported by PerfError:
vector::insert length error

After this happens, one of my stereo tracks is disabled from playing (it doesn't play and its record light is missing) and can't play until I quit the app and relaunch.

I run in DAE mode, DP 4.61/ OS 10.3.9 / Protools/DAE 6.7 / HD 1 system.

I'd love it if anyone had insight on this. It's not killing me but it's pretty annoying and it used to not happen with this exact setup.

Thanks![/b]

I'm getting them too.

ERROR 1
When I start a new file "003" and try to save it somewhere, I get:

An error occurred while writing to the disk. The file 003 was not saved.

ID=1 Try to save your file on another disk of folder, or with a different name.

I only have one hard disk drive. I have successfully saved on it before. I am having no other problems with my computer. Saving with a different name does not help.

ERROR 2
When I try to open a file I KNOW was saved with DP5, I get:

Digital Performer has encountered an error.

Unknown Exception error reported by PerfError:
vector::at index out of range

I've made no major changes to my system.
My profile:
iMac G5 2.1GHz, OS 10.4.6, 512MB RAM

What kills me is that it worked a few weeks ago, and now DP is basically unusable. I even installed the 5.01 update, and the same thing happens.

Should I delete the Prefs file? If so, where is it?
Any suggestions? I'm bummed.

Neil
