Good morning folks! I just joined the discussion group mainly because I am encountering issues in starting Aurora. The darn thing will not even start after installation. Program appears to have installed correctly, but when I try to start it, I get a pop-up with the following details: ============== Aurora encountered and (Should be an) unexpected error and will now reset. Debugging information: 399 Component "MSCOMM32.OCX" or one of its dependencies not registered: a file is missing or invalid. WAVSpyResize Main ================== I then click OK and it tries to do something over and over..... I have to kill aurora_sequencer.exe with task manager. What gives??? It is kind of hard to register the software when it will not even start. My system: Vista Ultimate 32-bit, 4GB RAM, Q6600 CPU @ 2.4GHz, video card with 256MB RAM. Thanks in advance for your suggestions/assistance. ------------- Serge |

Welcome aboard, Serge! As we've discovered, Vista is less than friendly to Aurora due to its UAC (security) and lack of support for XP/Win98/NT comm routines. But it is fixable. For starters, got through the procedure(s) here: http://www.lightsonlogan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=250 be sure to do a soft-boot when you're before running Aurora. The closing error is another issue - nothing is harmed by this, its just annoying. Fix should be out soon for that. ------------- http://www.aurorashow.com/">

Thanks for the reply! So, I did the following: - Downloaded the new install kit as indicated in the other thread. - Uninstalled the previous version. - Rebooted the system. - Installed the new version (as admin) - Rebooted. - Try to run it, but I get the same error as before. Still does not work. I am baffled, to say the least.... ------------- Serge |
