Re: [Avid-L2] Main Thread Bus Error is back

I recently had this on one of our machines, too. But after taking
off all disks but the boot drive, and 'X'ing out the C: drive's
media folders, I was still crashing out with that error. I don't
remember what clue was in the error message, but I /finally/
figured out that one of the Avid 'stock' clips (i.e. Media
Offline) in the SupportingFiles folder had been corrupted and was
causing all the grief. Fixed that and the problem resolved.

Posting here in case someone with this problem in the future
finds this thread in the archives...
