PicaLoader 1.47 - Abort on Launch
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2004 3:04 am
!!! POST UPDATE !!!
The following issue has been fixed! Please download the updated version of PicaLoader (1.47.1011) from HERE.
===ORIGINAL POST===
I have just rebuilt my system with a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. After updating all components of the OS via Windows Update and MSDN, I downloaded and installed the most recent version of PicaLoader from this website (Downloaded 09/28/2004). When I attempt to launch the application, the splash screen for PicaLoader appears for less than one second and then the entire application exits without any error message.
I have been a registered PicaLoader user for some time and never experienced an issue of this magnitude running under Windows XP Pro or Windows XP Pro SP1a. I have researched the Windows XP SP2 Compatibility List at Microsoft to insure that PicaLoader was not one of the applications known to have issue with the latest service pack. PicaLoader was not listed. I have also searched this forum and found some similar posts to my own. However, the suggested solution was to download and install the current release which is exactly what I have already accomplished.
Would anyone have a suggestion or work-around for this issue. I have performed the usual uninstall followed by a registry cleanup, reboot into a "clean environment" (i.e. no startup applications or services running), and reinstall of the latest version from this website.
