Access violation

Post by lang888 »

Hi! I have the latest Atlantis, 4.0.2.2, and I just tried to add to my favorite fonts. However, when I do so there is a pop-up:

Atlantis Exception: Access Violation at 005FC0E3 in AWP.exe

I have no idea, of course, why this is happening to me. Any suggestions?

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

Is it still happening if you launch a test copy of Atlantis with factory settings (“Tools | Factory Settings…”)?

One more question: do you get the error when trying to add a specific font, or any font?

Thank you, Robert, for your reply and suggestion. Atlantis did allow the addition of fonts under the 'factory settings' test.

I attempted to pick Lucinda as a favorite prior to this and of course that did not work. I guess I did something to cause that error in the first place. I am not so terribly technically minded so if you do have an idea, please do let me know! ⛱

:P This just in!! I just removed a couple of 'off the road' (odd specially cute fonts) and now am able to add things! Cute matters, but I like functionality, so we won't be cute, LOL!! 💞

Again thanks for the tip and for your help. I do appreciate it.

I believe I collected some of these early last year and moved them onto my new computer and I believe this should be the correct site:

I downloaded and temporarily installed all of the above fonts in Windows 10.
I then added each of them to my Atlantis Favorite Fonts.
I was then able to apply each font to a different paragraph without running into any kind of trouble. Please see attached screen capture.
There might be something in your current Atlantis configuration that caused the access violation.
Could you please send your current configuration to support@Atlantiswordprocessor.com?
Click “Tools | Options…”.
In the Options dialog, click the “Save to File…” button.
Please, send the “Atlantis.ini” file to support@Atlantiswordprocessor.com

Hey, Robert! I appreciate all that fantastic research into this. I do remember the only change I had happen with my Atlantis was the new update, I think yesterday? Anyway, today was just my applying the changes I wanted. I'll send my configuration to support.

Thank you for your kindness! 💞⚓️⛱
