ArchiveCreator V2.0 beta4 bluescreens

[ivarh]

Hi, When trying to create a archive set of 41.3 GB worth of pictures my computers bluescreens after chewing on the pictures for about 3 hours. It does not get to the burning stage. AR estimates 14 DVD+RW's to hold the archive.

The pictures are made up of a few .pcx files from an old kodak camera and jpegs from a Canon G1 and CRW files from a D30 and a D60 camera.

My machine is a 2.26Ghz Pentium pro machine with 1GB of memory and about 0.7TB of disk space.

It is running Windows XP professional with all service packs and patches applied.

Anyone else experienced this. It could be a HW problem but it happens at the same address according to the crash dump each time.

During the index generating stage the CPU reaches about
66 Degerrs celsius.

Ivar,

While there are no self imposed limits by AC on the size of an Archive Set, I think that splitting this very large Archive Set into a few smaller sets would serve you well. There might be some OS limits that we are hitting that are not within our control.

Having said that, have you tried to run a small archive set, just to make sure that all works well on a small set. That would eliminate logic or compatability errors with your system, and we would know that the problem is related to the large size of this specific Archive set.

I just copied all the pictures to a external FW drive and attached it to my laptop and ran Archivecreator from there and it compleated the index generation without problems. Must bee something with my desktop
