Im trying to get dvd profiler working with the LoadDVD plugin to control and catalog my Dacal dvd carousel.  So far i have installed both dvd profiler, and the loaddvd plugin.  Read all ive found on the plugin, from what i understand in the personal info section i ad a location of "dacal1" (also tried dacal001), and slot is the slot in the changer, ie 1. 

When i right click the entry and select "play/retrieve disc" then select the disc i get a error that says:

ERROR:
LoadDVD
Attempted to read or write protected memory.  This is often and indication that other memory is corrupt.

Ive ran a memory checker, thats not the problem, ive also tried LoadDVD v2.19 and V2.11.
I have installed both twice, along with running install programs as admin.
Tried running dvd profiler as admin
Tried compatibility modes for xp sp3, also compatibility and run as admin.

Anybody seen this error before and have any idea what i may be able to do to resolve this issue?

Well i might have found a clue as to the problem, just no idea how to fix it yet

Another program that controlls that carousel gives a error of a violation in hid.dll.  Ive replaced that dll from another computer and the problem still persists

However the origanal cdlib 5.1 works perfectly!

Device ID is correct in the options, and also i changed it to the WRONG id, deselected it, then it detected the correct id on its own, so it can obviously "see" the device.

After you check Addicted2DVD's advice, some other thoughts:

Hid = "human interface device" and it is used as part of the USB support. It is possible that the Microsoft libraries that my plugin is using are not the same as the CDLIB drivers - but as I said, it has been so long ...

Perhaps you have done this, but you might take a peek in AVSFORUM or somewhere people are messing with the Dacal - maybe some clues will turn up.

I remember now, having flakey issues on a certain PC that were resolved by running the Dacal through a USB hub. Some further food for thought.

By the way, you mentioned "another program that controls the carousel." It generally doesn't work well to have more than one program controlling a device unless the drivers have been written to allow shared access. CDLIB is simple, and the LoadDVD code is based on the CDLIB SDK from Dacal, but this "other program" - I don't know. Does it stay around running hidden and perhaps cause a conflict?

Free accounts cant edit aparently!

I defiantly agree this program is worth the money, but my main need is the carousel support so if we get it working ill be buying for sure!

Hehe yeh when i get a chance ill check it out on my laptop, things are a little hetic over here right now

One thing i noticed is ive tryed both versions for download, 2.11 and 2.19 i think they are.

When i goto the options on 2.11, if i deselect things so it will auto detect the device id it works (as in it finds the device, still gives error when trying to load/eject a disc).  However when i goto the options on 2.19 i get a exception error and have to hit continue to get into the options, then nothing is set.
