Title: Unable to open MC 9.0.108
Post by: Joe Karnes on February 06, 2003, 02:32:08 pm
With versions 9.0.107 and 9.0.108 I am unable to open MC.  I get a message "Media Core has encountered a problem and must close".  I had installed both of these versions over the previous versions as I have for most all of the MC 9 builds.  My system Info is posted in the 9.0.107 thread.

Jim H. posted the following and I am sorry, but I do need help in knowing how to do what he is suggesting.

Joe,
You can try deleting the registry keys for MC.  A search here should find you help on that.

If you need more help, start a new thread.

Jim


Thank you for any help.  Joe Karnes

Try a search for registry.  Search is above.

Jim H., I am pretty dense and I apoligize for some of my questions.  I did as you indicated and did a search for registry.  After reading through the results, I felt like uninstall with remove all Media Center registry entries was my best choice as was advised by several post.  I did uninstall and removed registry entries and then re installed MC 9.0.108.  I still have the same problem and am unable to open MC.  Thank you, Joe Karnes

Joe,
You are a first-rate user.  No need to apologize ever.

If the problem isn't in the registry, then it may be in the database.  Try clearing your libary and reimporting.

Here's a link that describes where the database jmd files are:

You may need to remove them.  You will lose playlists and other similar data, but you can reimport your files.

Jim, I  deleted all the database mjd files and still could not open MC9.0.108.  I did a re-install  and when MC tried to  open the Media Core message encountered a problem came up again.  I then did another uninstall and also did a search for any MJB MC and J River files and deleted any that I found.  I then downloaded MJB 8 off the Media Jukebox web page and it worked fine.  I then downloaded the last stable version of MC from the interact page of MJB.  MC installed, opened and shows to be registered to me.  The problem is that now I can not import my MP3 library.  My 3500 MP3 files are all still on my F drive and that is where I directed MC to import from.
I will watch for the next new MC build and see if that will work for me.  Thank you for your help. Joe Karnes

I have still been unable to import any MP3 files into MC.
I also just tried to play an audio CD on both my D and E drive and neither would do anything.  There is no display of track information to select for play and if I right click on either drive and choose play a pop-up of "Please select file(s) to Play" appears.  Thank you, Joe Karnes
