I've been trying versions of SonicStage from 4.0 all the way to 4.3 on my Vista Home Premium system and it's consistently crashing at the same spot every time during startup; it loads fine until it reaches the "Loading UI components" bit and then crashes and dies, leaving my with a cryptic Windows error message box as follows:

Disable any Windows themes.

Disable any Windows themes.

Tried that by switching to classic Windows. Didn't help.

Which SS version are you currently using? Only SS43 works with Vista.

I tried 4.3 first. I tried the earlier versions to see if the problem was specific to 4.3, which it wasn't.

I had some crash issues with 4.3 in my Vista system, ends up my problem was one of my memory chips wasn't firmly seated, caused no end of problems. Try reseating your memory and see what happens

I tried reseating the memory, but it didn't work either.

Anyway, a miracle: I managed to get it to work by fiddling with the permissions for Omgjbox.exe and items.dll. I switched on the permissions to allow users to modify and write to the two files.

Others may wish to try this.

Its far easier... RUn it as administrator or shut down the UserAccountControl(UAC).

Worked fine...
