1.1.6 not working.

Postby MegaHurtz on Mon Feb 01, 2010 12:47 pm

I reverted back to 5. Becouse 6 does not run on my machine.
Also.. when it dont run, it`s still running in the background.
Looks like a recovery thing.

What actually happens? Does the main window ever appear?

Have you checked your recovery folder to see if there are any files in there?

Note that for 1.1.6 the recovery folder moved to:

For Vista and Win 7:
C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\SynthMaker\Recovery

For XP and 2000:
C:\Documents And Settings\[user name]\Application Data\SynthMaker\ Recovery

It never started to run, alternating the safe mode option. even in safe mode it crashed.
After cleaning out my folder I noticed, there are no temp and other directories installed into the Synthmaker folder.
Also acces to the dbghelp.dll isn`t released after failing to load.

Is there not a "modules" folder in the SM install folder?

All user data folders are now in AppData or Documents and Settings, Have you had a look there? Note that the AppData or Documents and Settings folders may be hidden so you'll have to show hidden items in your view oprions.

You ran the 1.1.6 betas ok didn't you?

Do you have the show hidden files and folders option switched on? It's under the View tab of the Folder Options dialog in Win7, not sure if it's exactly the same in XP though.

Another corrupted temp was hidden away inside the default user section.

Thanks for the help!

Excellent. Was it a recovery file or a corrupt .hom file?

It's possible that this arose from the betas, at least I hope that's the case :-)

I don`t know I deleted it all >:(
There could`ve been a recovery where I poked around in some invalid memory.
