Videofactory 2 crashes on launch on my system. I did not have this problem with VF1. But when I updated to VF2, the program would crash upon launch. I would get error messages that said either: invalid page fault/general protection fault in EXTMONDRV.DLL or in HCWSOLOCAP.AX. Extmondrv.dll, I discovered, is a VF2 file that deals with video capture. Hcwsolocap.ax is the file that enables my Hauppauge WinTV-PVR card to capture video. I renamed the Extmondrv.dll file with a .bak extension, but the program would recreate the file on launch and then crash. So, then I renamed the file with a .bak extension and created a dummy file named Extmondrv.dll. That maneuver enabled me to launch VF2 without a crash. Of course, I had no video capture capabilities with VF2 at that point. (Renaming Hcwsolocap.ax disables video capture on the TV tuner card, so that is not an option).

When I updated to VF2.0a (as of Oct. 10), the crash on launch occurred again.
Here is the error message:

VIDFACT2 caused an invalid page fault in

Stack dump:

Again, renaming extmondrv.dll and creating a dummy file named extmondrv.dll fixed the crash but the program is without video capture capabilities at this point. Is there a fix for this, or is my PCI WinTV-PVR simply incompatible with VF2's video capture functions?
