VirtualDubMod crashes on start

For whatever reason, VirtualDubMod has been crashing on me the minute I start it. I didn't change any of the original files, it just crashes. Poof! Gone. The error report says that Kernel32.dll (The dll responsible for i/o, memory management and the like) is the faulting module which I don't like at all. Anyone have a clue as to why my VDM is crashing even though I've done nothing to change my setup? I didn't install any new drivers lately either.

Well the news seems to be getting worse and worse.. I tried opening an avisynth file in Media Player Classic and I get a "Ran out of memory (Error=8007000E)" error. No exotic filters, only trim, crop, and resize. x264 doesn't open the script either. I get this: x264 [error]: could not open input file 'source.avs' Any thoughts?

Hi! Chances are one of the VirtualDubMOD files has been corrupted. Try downloading a fresh, complete package, uninstalling/deleting ALL of the files in your VirtualDubMOD directory - and then installing the new package...

Well now, isn't that odd.. I wiped my VDM install clean, and popped a fresh one in a new folder. Now I'm getting a MS visual C++ runtime error.

Is it indicating a specific .DLL file in the error message?

Nope. It's just a msvc error.

That's often indicative of a corrupted .DLL... Perhaps a "System Restore" back to the last time things were working properly...

Well, I did a system restore to two days ago and VirtualDubMod and Avisynth still refuse to work properly. I still receive the same two errors from mpc and VDM

I've resolved the issue. It was actually Avisynth that was reacting badly... I'm still trying to figure out why it happened, but if I add any more dlls or scripts to my plugins folder, avisynth crashes.

With the AviSynth problem, I sometimes get the 'Ran out of memory' issue if I have too many (or in some cases, just certain) plugins in its autoload folder. It doesn't matter if they get called in the script or not. For example, I noticed it when I installed ffdshow and allowed the AviSynth loader to be put in too. Simply removing it returned things to normal (although either this was fixed on ffdshow's side or it was the result of some other conflict that's been remedied, since I don't seem to experience that problem now). To test it, just create a new folder and move all - or at least a fair chunk - of the plugins there and see if that resolves it. Then you can at least slowly add them back in and see which one trips the error.
