I apologize for the lenghth of this post; I believe WinME is responsible for most of this, but these things happen mostly when I'm using MJ.
This computer/WinMe does a horrible job managing memory (see resources in system info below; after I snatched system info and closed MJ, system resources climbed to a whopping 37%. And I've already removed a lot of unnecessary stuff from startup).
If someone else has had/solved these problems... ?
1. General stuff includes vanishing toolbars, buttons that lose their skins; refreshing usually -- not not always -- solves this.
2. While playing a file with DSP Studio open, EQ and FX checked, I unchecked FX and got "MJ has cause an error in MediaJukebox.exe, will now close etc." When I clicked out of that I got "MJ has caused an error in kernel32.dll and will now close." This has happened more than once.
3. While playing a track, I expanded from the Lower Right mini-me to mega-me; clicked return to mini-me and got "Media Jukebox; An error has occurred" and the choice of close or ignore. I clicked close, the music resumed, then I got "MJ has caused an error in DIBENG.DLL. MJ will now close."
4. While downloading from emusic with download manager and surfing Web in IE5.5,I got a kernel32.dll error caused by download manager.
5. I scanned my drive to find files that had not been imported, clicked on details to see what the files were and decided I didn't want to import them and clicked the X to close (they imported anyway). Then I got: "Media Jukebox: An error has occurred" and the close/ignore choice. I clicked close and got: "MJ has caused an error in GDI.EXE. MJ will now close."
I plan to clean install WinXP Home, but it won't be for a few weeks. I suspect that will solve a lot of this stuff.
In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
