Title: Locked 482
Post by: jack wallstreet on April 22, 2008, 10:10:26 am

Did you mean to lock the 482 thread?

Times up, thread's still locked and not stickied.  Is it safe to install?

482 is OK.  We're still chasing a problem with crashes and failures to run.  It could be related to the option under General to "Submit ratings..." but only for people outside the U.S.  Maybe.

Unicode/NLS/Locale problem?

Problems with crashes and failures to run?  Check.

I was just working on my library (added a user-defined field) and when I pressed OK, MC froze up.  I forced it closed and re-started; my field wasn't saved so I tried to add it again and it froze again; again I killed the program and tried to run again (thinking that there are other things I could do besides adding that field) but at that point MC wouldn't run.  The moment the "incomplete shutdown" window popped up a Windows (Vista) promt told me that "Media Center has stopped Working".  Rebooting twice didn't fix it; I still can't load MC.  I'm going to uninstall & re-install; maybe downgrade. 

BTW - I'm outside the US (Canada) and not sure about my "submit ratings" option - whatever the default is, I guess.

Please check it.

Well, like I said I uninstalled, re-booted, and re-installed a previous version (rolled back to 481).  But the submit ratings option is not checked (and I'm sure I hadn't changed that option before).

OK - just happened on 481... same thing - I had added a fuser ield to my library, click OK... then a crash, now MC won't load.  Great! 

Must be something else?  (Other than a 482/ratings issue)  Want some info or a crash report or anything? 

I'm running Vista, no A/V, nothing else at all, I think.  Let me know what info you need to diagnose the problem. 

Thanks!

When you start up, hit escape.

You're right - that gets me in.  Funny that NOT disableing 3rd party plugs etc allows MC to boot up?

It's our bug and it's fixed in a build that should be posted in a few minutes here.
