mhambrick Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 (edited) Whenever i attempt to open Ss, it gets to the Initializing UI components stage and just stops. the program halfway opens and the menu bar flashes repededly. this also eats all my cpu. any thoughts on how to fix this? Im running XP home on a p4 viao notebook (ATI video card... so no NVIDEA drivers). it worked fine, then all the sudden it diddnt, i noticed that i was running sp2 and thought that mite have snuck in so i removed it and that diddnt help. i have downloded the MDAC repair tool, redownloaded my MDAC drivers, reinstalled them and nothing seems to help. any help would be greatly appreciated.

ROMBUSTERS Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 SP2 can only help, sounds like a faulty driver, i would try reupdating the graphics drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhambrick Posted July 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 well, sony said to downgrade to 2.3, so i guess ill try that. it just buggs me how the program is so fickle.thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarknigHT Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 umm... i had the problem too, i found out that it was because i was using windowsblind or some sort of program that changes the interface or something, so all you have to do is:1)right click the shortcut to sonic stage2)go to properties3)click on the compatability tab4)check the "Disable visual themes" checkboxand voila it should have no problem (atleast i think, because this worked for me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
