Re: 3.02 Questions

Some additional information if that may help...

Evidently, that file below is installed as part of Directx 9.0c.

Class - DirectShow
Name - MPEG-2Sections and Tables
Filename - %systemroot%system32mpeg2data.ax
FourCC - (blank)
Version - (blank)
Status - broken

The utility that you suggested (codec sniper) also cautions that deleting a broken codec may destablize your system (I can't have that!) So, I downloaded a fresh version of Directx 9.0c and installed over the one that I had and the file is still reported as 'broken'.

Alan had recommended checking a registry value to someone else on the forum on 10/12 but he was having .avi trouble with piRender. Just for peace of mind I tried those remedies also but with the same crash and error msg. Mine crashed in piRender also when trying to render to .avi with the same msg. In the Registry, (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwarewondertouchpIllusionRenderSettingsAviCompressor) my value is already set to 0.

And lastly, even when I 'cleared' my start menu and launched PI 3.02, it still lists it as "run with software rendering". No mention of the name PartleIllusion or anything - just as I typed above in the quotes.
