Avid|DS RP displays this error message when started: Failed to
create project BasicProject: f:\DS Projects could not be found.
Make sure the DS Project path exists on the Avid|DS RP station, otherwise you
must either reinstall the software and carefully choose the project location or
access the operating system Registry Editor and modify the Avid|DS MainRoot
key (contact Avid|DS Customer Service for help with registry modifications).
When starting Avid|DS RP, the hourglass icon appears for a brief
moment, then nothing.
Although extremely rare, this can occurs after a software crash where a process
in still running in the background and preventing a new process from being
opened since you can run only one instance of Avid|DS at a time on any system.
To resolve this problem
1. Open Task Manager.
2. Select the Processes tab.
3. Locate any occurrence of a running ds.exe process. If any, click End
Process and confirm its termination.
Avid|DS RP should now start properly.
I have two Avid|DS RP licences and try to process to two remote
processing stations, but the second station refuses to process.
Avid|DS RP licensing is processor based, not workstation-based. If the
Avid|DS RP stations are dual processor, then both RP licenses are taken by the
first RP station to be started and none are available for the second RP station.
