AAA87 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hi, you wouldn't believe the hassle i've been going through the last couple of weeks to get my sonicstage working. Sony e-mailed me offering me the update to SS 3.1...i thought what nice people at sony....YEH RIGHT...since downloading it, it's just been a mega pain in the backside...The "Omgjbox.exe has caused an error and must be closed by windows" comes up everytime at the exact point where the animation shows "loading UI components"...the same thing sometimes used to happen with my old SS 2.0, but after re-starting it would be fine. I've tried the microsoft update, i've tried deleting and reinstalling, i've tried the thorough delete including registry components and nothing is working. I need this software to work!If anybody has a clue that would be great.Just to give you a bit of info about my gearNetMD MZ-N10Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4Nvidia Geforce 4 P4 2.0 Ghz512 mb ramPLEASE GUYS HELP ME!cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newer NVIDIA drivers - such as version 66.93 - are known to cause problems when you try to launch SonicStage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA87 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 infact because i've been so ingrossed with this sonicstage thing i've read a lot of peoples posts and I down graded my Nvidia driver to 40.41 but still to no prevailehope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 What was the principal NVIDIA driver you have prior to the downgrade? For your information, the NVIDIA video drivers currently installed in my system for Windows XP Pro SP2 is 56.73. You can find a selection of NVIDIA drivers here. Give version 56.73 a try and do remember to reboot your system after removing the drivers. I hope that helps. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA87 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 after changing my drivers would i need to uninstall and then re-install sonicstage 3.1? Before downgrading I had the latest driver 71.89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure you reboot your system upon removing the old drivers before applying the a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA87 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 i'm afraid that didn't work either...if you have any fresh ideas I would be so welcome for any more help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 i'm afraid that didn't work either...if you have any fresh ideas I would be so welcome for any more help←I am sorry that it didn't work for you. Your experience:"Omgjbox.exe has caused an error and must be closed by windows" comes up every time at the exact point where the animation shows "loading UI components"...the same thing sometimes used to happen with my old SS 2.0, but after re-starting it would be fine. ←usually indicate: 1) conflicts with NVIDIA drivers; 2) need for Windows update (to SP2 if using XP system or SP4 if using Windows 2000 system); and 3) possible conflicts with other utilities/software. I know you've already installed SP4 for Windows 2000, but do try applying this Windows 2000 (KB887811) patch. According to Microsoft and Sony, this patch will resolve the omgjbox.exe issue - related to users already have SP4 installed in their Windows 2000 system.I hope this solution will resolve your problem this time. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAA87 Posted May 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 again nothing, sorry to bug you about this, but n e more hints?....when you said conflicts with other software, what could they be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 again nothing, sorry to bug you about this, but n e more hints?....when you said conflicts with other software, what could they be?←Possible conflicts with other utilities/software ---> One that I can think of now is ffdshow; although it actually relates more to playback issue. I am sorry that none of the suggested solutions work for you. Perhaps, one of our members would care to chime in at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 I forgot to add that you could try using the MDAC repair tool, which you can obtain from the "Downloads" section of this forum. (top left corner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raintheory Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 (edited) I had a similar problem that went away (i think) after I upgraded the windows media format runtime... I'm running win200 pro sp4 as well.Not sure if that helps, but may be worth a try?Edit: I did run the MDAC repair utility as well, but it wasnt until upgrading the windows media (which oddly enough, the sonicstage installer downloaded) that it finally started loading right...Nice member no. btw, "7,777" -aA Edited May 27, 2005 by raintheory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
