Videowave Issues

[Enique]

I've searched this topic hoping that I can find some help.

 

I've repaired the installation, and defragmented my hard drive. I'm running IE 6 and WMP 10.

 

Videowave STILL will not load. It hangs as soon as I try to open a new program.

 

Can I do anything else to fix this problem?

Let's try the simple things first. Check for spyware with a couple of different programs like Spybot Search and Destroy and Lavasoft's free version of AdAware.

 

Then go to your Windows Control Panel, choose System, then Advanced\ Performance\ Settings \ Data Execution Prevention \ and check the top box to turn on DEP for Windows program only.

 

Have you ever been able to get VideoWave to work? What program and version do you have and what are your computer specifications?
