Title: MC9 disappears or crashes frequently
Post by: paulr on April 06, 2003, 04:17:24 pm

I have the latest version (.143) and have performed a complete uninstall and reinstall.

When I try to access the Visualization Editor and change something, MC9 disappears.

Frequently when I try to add songs to the Playing Now list, MC9 disappears.  Then when I try to play songs currently ON the Playing Now list, MC9 disappears.

Other times, it crashes, but mostly it just vanishes...

My XP Pro installation is fully up to date (via MS Update).

Any ideas?

Only thing different I see is you installed it in E:\. Maybe there is something broken in MC. Maybe redoing the Library may fix the Playing Now problem. Could be a corrupt file.

I know a couple builds ago, Vis Studio was acting funny but I thought they fixed it.

I uninstalled and reinstalled again and for the moment, things seem to be working.  This happened last time I reinstalled however (worked for a few hours then started acting goofy)...

Thanks for the reply!  Are there any registry keys that uninstall does not remove?  If so, where are they?  If this happens again, I will manually remove all traces I can find, then start over.
