For now I added link to MM bug to see if we can make permanent solution/workaround.

Well, actually, the problem came back. I am not sure why. I am working with tech support on it. I CAN say that found a work-around to completely resolve the issue (at least so far). Run the program "as an administrator." We can't figure out WHY this should be necessary, but so far it has worked.

Just for the record, though: I do not have NaturallySpeaking on my computer... Like I said, it SEEMS to be resolved now, but I will keep an eye out for a repeat of the problem.

This is exactly the same behaviour reported in this thread: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =6&t=58918
Unfortunately no debug file is created either with the normal or debug version of the .exe installed.
Some sort of low-level conflict between NaturallySpeaking and MM4 apparently. Strangely it only arises if you try to interact with MM4 through the menu??
This has been reported before:

It looks like it isn't planned to be fixed for version 4.0.

Thanks both for your comments. Luckily, I installed the latest version (RC5) and the problem has gone away.
Brilliant software - thanks for doing a good job!

Thanks, but since I completely un- and reinstalled (now several newer versions) MM4, the problem is cleared up. It was likely just a bad install.

Running on a HP 2740p, Win7 x64 Pro SP1, 8 GB RAM with an outboard monitor. So far as I can tell my install is vanilla; I have done various permutations including completely removing MM3, running as Admin, running debug and production versions of the code, and avoiding skins and plug-ins. The same thing always happens: MM4 builds my library and plays music fine. But as soon as I click on a menu item it crashes very ungracefully. No log file seems to be created so I cannot send that. BTW, MM3 works perfectly on this system.
If a log file is not automatically generated then generate one manually by running the debug view program. All the instructions are posted in the thread "Reporting bugs...".

Thanks.

Hi Rusty,

Yes, i was using thenRC2 build. I did not check the date of the log and it was old. MM did generatenamlog during any of RC2 crashes. I completely uninstallesd MM4 and put the lataest build on and, so far, it seems to be OK.

Thanks!

Hi DrJohn,

Are you sure you're using RC2? The logfile you sent was generated with a much earlier beta build.

Thanks.

Crash (RC2) when accessing menu [#8242]

by drjohn » Sat Oct 22, 2011 8:55 pm

Any time I click on any of the Menu items (File, etc) the program crashes... I had the same issue when trying to change auto-playlists imported from MM3 earlier. After installing the debug version, that cleared up. Right now, it is basically not usable... I have an error-log, but am not sure how to attach it...
