I will look at this as soon as I can. Most likely be on Friday.

Based on the logs the error is happening in rec tracker... not that this information should mean anything to you, but maybe Jorm can help.

CDK calls rectracker to determine if a show has been recorded.
I know Jorm has updated rectracker. Are you using the latest rectracker- I believe Jorm updated that a few days ago.

I've been having problems with this too. When PriorityRecording.exe, it fails and creates an event log entry under System as well as application. The System info is more detailed. The event ID for this problem 26. It shows ntdll.dll as being the problem. When you click on the link in the message description (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp), Microsoft displays the following info:

--------------------------------------------------
Product: Windows Operating System
ID: 26
Source: Application Popup
Version: 5.2
Symbolic Name: STATUS_LOG_HARD_ERROR
Message: Application popup: %1 : %2

Explanation
The program could not load a driver because the program user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt.


User Action
To correct this problem:

Ensure that the program user has sufficient privileges to access the directory in which the driver is installed.
Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the correct location.
If these solutions do not work, contact Product Support Services.



Version: 5.0
Symbolic Name: status_log_hard_error
Message: Unable to Load Device Driver : device driver could not be loaded.

Explanation
The program could not load a driver because the program user doesn't have sufficient privileges to access the driver or because the drive is missing or corrupt.


User Action
To correct this problem:

Reinstall the program to restore the driver to the correct location.

--------------------------------------------
I don't think it is a permissions issue, because the currently logged in user has admin privs. Also, I gave the user full permissions to ntdll.dll, but it had no effect-the problem still exists.

I hope this helps with tracking down the problem, and I hope it is resolved soon.

A couple of things that you might want to do, since I know you have been using CDK Scheduler for a while.

1. When did this error start happening? Is it only happening on a specific recording?

2. Try Repairing the RecTracker.mdb file. An Index or something might have gotten corrupted.

3. Backup your RecTracker.mdb file, and then clear out all entries from RecTracker.mdb. Try running priority recording again manually.

4. Try running the recTracker.exe by itself to see if it creates the same error.

If CDK Scheduler has been running fine for a while for you, then something recently changed on your system that could be affecting the OLEDB access.

1) Error Started Sunday

2) i do not have access installed but I will try and fix it from another machine

3) same as #2

4) rectracker does not throw an error, only priorityrecording.exe, both via the script (postepgupdate) and manually

I did upgrade to the new version of rectracker as the purge was broke and Jorm fixed it =)

[gwyden]

Followed everything and i am still getting the error =( any more ideas?

[jrockintuitive]

Sorry for being late on this. I'm a little busy at work.

I have not tested the new rectracker with CDK. I will test this out on Friday.

Sorry for the delay
