...I get a hard crash everytime I quit SM and also compiled plugins crash my hosts. (Working on my Laptop now)

Versions?

VC++2008,SM1.1.7beta 8. Yes, I tried a fresh install of SM.

DLL hell ? Maybe VC installs some runtime libs SM doesn't like. According to Process Explorer SM is using msvcrt.dll (the one without version in the name) Do you have a stack dump?

DLL hell, thats the name of the game. No stack dump, the crash is a immediate reset - or was. I placed an original msvcrt.dll into the SM folder and the crash is gone. Now SM starts but the frontend not. Dependency Walker shows some more dll`s so I will continue step by step and report here.

I wonder if all the VC++ redistributables are causing my crashes?

Nothing to report in the end. I noticed that the initial position of the main window was set out of reach after each crash but then I had to do a XP reinstall. 😝

By having the same Problem on my Laptop I got the chance to study this case a bit more. This time I was lucky! I noticed that the crash occured, when SM connected to the internet, so I had to set the "Check for updates" key in the registry (synthmaker folder) to zero. After that SM started without crash but I nothing was drawn to screen. I then deleted the key "window position". That`s it.

    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.
