FIXED 5.01 crashes on start up gdiplus error
LLUncoolJ - 11-9-2009 at 04:42 AM

Something told me to not try the upgrade, I have terrible luck with upgrades. At least I waited until the weekend was over. Anyway, Toward the end of the splash screen it crashes. I am running XP Home on a Athlon 3700 and had no problems with the previous version. Is anybody else having problems?

Below is the error signature:

AppName: ejukebox.exe AppVer: 5.0.0.10 ModName: gdiplus.dll
ModVer: 5.1.3102.2180 Offset: 0010316d

RE: had no problems with the previous version
What was your previous version?

First try saving and replacing this HERE over your C:EJukeboxejukebox.exe
Let me know if it will start now.
If that doesn't work I suspect you may be on XP SP1 with IE6 installed?
I would try updating to Internet Explorer 8 and see if that fixes it as you will need to anyway to enjoy new skins. If you can't update internet explorer edit ejukebox.ini and find
[Skin]
Name=
change to
Name=Default

Save the ini and start EJukebox.

I was running SP2 with IE7. I went ahead and upgraded to IE8 and ran Ejukebox...same crash. So I changed the ini file. It loaded without a crash, but with a fugly "skin" that hurt my eyes. I changed the skin back to what I had (the original blue one). It looked fine. I shut down and restarted and it crashed again. Am I going to have to download new skins to run on this version? Tell me I'm not going to have to look at the hidious one that was one there.

BTW, I'm not sure of the previous version, I downloaded an update early in the year...4.9x?

IE7/8 is good for new and old skins. Making the ini say EJ Remix instead of Default is fine. The start up screen says Finishing... when you get the error right? I have updated the alpahexe exe HERE again so please try that download and replace over your ejukebox.exe.

LLUncoolJ - 11-9-2009 at 10:49 PM

Yes, it is crashing when it says finishing. I replaced the exe file with the one you posted, but I am still crashing in the same fashion. Now even when I change the ini file like you posted earlier, it is crashing again. I appreciate the help...am I the only one so far that has had this problem?

just finished uploading the new alphaexe
it will show 5.00.12 on the start up screen

LLUncoolJ - 11-9-2009 at 11:04 PM

I just downloaded and replaced the exe file. It crashed on "Loading Artist List".

I have personally seen the gdiplus error on 1 computer with XP SP1 that was infected with viruses. I installed Win7 on that computer and EJ then worked fine. I thought it was because of the viruses as I have installed it on 2 other XP computers without a problem. But there must be something that is causing a gdiplus problem on some systems. I will keep trying to isolate the source. Thanks for testing the new exes.
.13 alphaexe is HERE please give that a go.

If that doesn't work find in ejukebox.exe ini
[ScrollSliders]
ArtistList=
SongAlbumList=

and make it
[ScrollSliders]
ArtistList=0
SongAlbumList=0

and see if it will start.

LLUncoolJ - 11-10-2009 at 12:36 AM

Tried .13, failed. Replaced the slider script and failed again.

LLUncoolJ - 11-10-2009 at 01:28 AM

Same results.

Audiosoft - 11-10-2009 at 01:41 AM

Hmm
So if you change the
[Skin]
Name=
to
Name=Default

It will start every time? Then Tools->Skin->EJ Remix
loads the blue skin. But when you close and restart you get the error again right?

LLUncoolJ - 11-10-2009 at 01:55 AM

No, after the first alphaexe this afternoon, the change to the ini file never worked again.

Audiosoft - 11-10-2009 at 02:01 AM

ok forget the ini for now...i just uploaded a new alphaexe HERE
this time it will show a message box for each interface image GDI plus trys to load. Please let me know the last .png name that pops up before you get the gdiplus error

LLUncoolJ - 11-10-2009 at 02:04 AM

It was quick, but I think it was visorcar.png

Audiosoft - 11-10-2009 at 02:25 AM

ok thanks. please download alphaexe again - the message boxes will no longer appear and hopefully it will start now. If not let me know what the startup screen caption shows... Loading Artist, Home or Finishing?

also if it still won't start can try editing ejukebox.ini and set

[Songlist]
Carousel=0

LLUncoolJ - 11-10-2009 at 03:13 AM

OK, that one did it. I reloaded the EJ skin and restarted. Everything is back to normal. Now I'm gonna go check out the new features. Thank you very much for the support.

Audiosoft - 11-10-2009 at 06:03 AM

awesome! Thanks for sticking with me :D

I have updated the full and upgrade installers to fix this. When you have a second please download the upgrade from audiosoft.net/download.htm and make sure it still works for you. It will make the startup show 5.0. It should work...but would like to know for sure the next upgrades with be OK on your system. you can rename your ejukebox.exe first and restore it if there is a problem.

LLUncoolJ - 11-11-2009 at 02:44 PM

OK, I downloaded and ran it. Everything still works. Thanks again for the assistance.
