Hi I just got SM and I can't use it! It gives me this error message when I execute...

synthmaker_0_9_.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows ect.

I have used it successfully before on another machine, but on this one it doesn't want to work even with a clean Win2K install. I have a AMD Athlon and 128mb ram, and integrated SiS audio (yeah yeah). Could the problem be a disabled Win2K service?

hi CamSR

Thanks a lot for your bug report. With your help we can try to find the cause of the bug. The first thing I suggest is for you to find out if the computer supports SSE instructions. The way I test if a CPU supports SSE is with a program called "speedswitch" but there are many others. I think old Athlons werent very good at supporting SSE. If we establish that's not the problem I'll try to think of something else.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
