Malc, Jorge

I've been a bit out of the loop for a couple of days and have been trying to catch up on posts at KVR. It would seem that some others had problems with the dbghelp.dll file.

I noticed that people were placing the file into the windows system with varying success...maybe a better approach would be to place it in to the Synthmaker directory as I have done. Synthmaker started with no problems once I had placed the file in the programs directory.

On the whole, if I have to find/replace a dll file for a program that is crashing, I generally place it into the program's directory and avoid the Mikeysoft system. It seems to work for me...

Anyway, it may be an academic solution if it isn't going to be used in future versions of Synthmaker.

If you don't crash Windows at least once a day... you're not doing it right.

Thanks sequencer, the latest 0.9.2 download copies the dbghelp.dll file to the install folder, I think ( like you suggest ) that fixes the problems some users were having.

The crash report system is very useful for us to find bugs quickly, it saves us a lot of time, if there are no further problems, it will probably stay as part of SM.

Thanks Jorge, I should have known that, given the pace of revisions to the program, you would have it covered.

    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.
