Newbie - Stuck - Invalid Read Operation
« on: 2016 November 26 08:08:08 »
Hello there,

I am a complete newbie in the PixInsight world, I downloaded the trial version day before yesterday to process some data which I had taken a month back. As a newbie I was following a basic tutorial I found on the web, what I do is open Script - Preprocess and feed all my lights, darks and bias frames and press Run, it would run up a certain extent and then it just errors out with the following message.

"PCL Win32 System Exception"
"At address ..... with exception code C0000005 :
Access violation: invalid memory read operation at address
0000000000000008"

Can anyone please help me get beyond this, the system I am using is a Dell T7500 workstation running Windows 7 X64, ran the memory test and extended memory test overnight without any issues.

Thank you

Hi,
Check out this thread. 
https://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=9190.0
They talk about problems with some dell utilities that if installed can cause issues.  In my case it was just the PixInsight UI scaling parameter, not the utilities.  It was set to 1.0 but setting it to 1.5 fixed my issues.  Thios opne is discussed here:

Hope it helps.
