SAW 32 bit on Win 10 64 bit weirdness

[mako]

Hi all - I've just set up a new laptop (Toshiba L850 with 8 Gb memory) with Win 10 64 bit on it and I'm getting quite a bit of weirdness with plugins.
Some I've sorted out by placing the dll's directly in the SS VST plugins folder, rather than using ini's.
But I'm having a problem with these messages popping up. (SAW 32 bit on Win 10 64 bit )

" Trouble Creating or Opening File for write operation.Check track label for illegal file name characters.
Make sure there is enough disk space for the operation."




"Trouble writing undo file.
Make sure path is valid and not write protected."

The plugins still load after the messages and work fine.
I'm assuming it's a caching problem but thought you fellas would have come across this ages ago when a lot of you switched to 64 bit OS's.
Thanks

Yeah, I get that sometimes. I don't think it has anything to do with being on an x64 OS, though. It's usually some kind of file-access conflict, I think. Close everything and try again. The issue usually goes away for me. I rarely try to figure out exactly what caused it.

Ah - thanks Dave

This can often be a file name issue where the folder or file name has an illegal or odd character that SAW doesn't like. I run into this most often when mixing a project that was started on an Apple computer. Try shortening/simplifying the path and file names.

Check your File Undo path... make sure it is pointing to a legal drive that is active and online.... not an old usb drive that has been unplugged.

Thanks Bob and Michael - I'll check.

Yes - it was the file path - I needed to add C:\Program Files (x86)\SAWStudio\
But now I can't save the Preferences as Default. I get -

" Trouble Creating or Opening File for write operation.Check track label for illegal file name characters.
Make sure there is enough disk space for the operation."

Thanks

OK - I dumped the whole folder back in it's usual place on Drive C and everything seems to work fine.
VST's and VSTi's load and play without problem.
A file I created for last year's show loads and runs fine, both midi and audio.

So - think I'll do the same with SAC.

Thanks everyone.

Ah - thanks John - just saw your post. Yes, that works
