I can't find the corrupt backup file or whatever that's causing me to be unable to open any OSMs.
What's the current procedure for clearing corrupted app/files etc. I've tried a straight reinstall but that didn't work.
{edit - found an empty recovery folder ... not sure where the problem is.}

I suggest to contact directly Outsim. Try to read Error Log, and try to understand what causes the crash. it gave also the reference to windows dlls

Hi oddson,
search for 0 Byte size Files in ur %APPDATA%\SynthMaker\Modules\User -path! if found -kill them 😈

FYI - I don't have user data stored with the install (I don't library my custom modules)... I think I'll nuke everything and start over.

Is possible that something has been corrupted in your OS. Try a restore points.. (one of the shitt-est things of win). 😕

As a last resort... once I get home from work I'll try nuking the application and any user folders I can locate and running the install again... If that doesn't work I'll get in touch with OutSim...

If you have stored your own modules in toolbox, they are in app data somewhere (just search in 'documents and settings' the synthmaker word and go to folder); copy the users *.hom files. Thus - reinstall and whatever you do - will not affect your work.
Check after what (soft, system updates, hardware changes) it stopped to work. Sometimes apps have conflicts. Check if app files are not blocked by antivirus or some antisomething.

I nuked the programs folder and the reg entries and still nothing...
I'm pretty sure it is a corrupted recovery file (which was mentioned on the other thread and was my first guess here) but I can't find where it's stored...
It should be /user/<name>/appData/outsim/... or /synthmaker but I can't find anything in that or the user/default/... paths. Anyone?
