    Good morning everybody 🙂

    Yesternight I wanted to start AEX (6.5.1), and it crashed immediately with an error message (0::42). I’ve searched here already, can’t find any helpful info.
    I updated to the latest NVIDIA graphic drivers, i’ve got XP PRO SP2… I’ve tried to repair AEX, didn’t do anything.

    Now as next i’ll reinstall it and try other stupid different things, but I just want to know if this problem has a specific known solution, or if it’s a BillGates-like guess-where-the-problem-is thingy…

    tia
    cheers,

    SOLUTION: because i just remember that I had that a few month ago after a full re-install, here’s the solution to the 0::42 error:

    just get rid of any DIVX install. Or uninstall a DIVX version, test if AEX works then. Here all is fine now. I know that some have no probs with having Divx installed and running AEX, but well, on mine it doesn’t work, and the solution is: uninstall DIVX.

    cheers 🙂

    I hope that’s what it is for me. I realize that I did install Roxio Easy Media Creator (which has a divx portion) after I last had AEX working. Now AEX doesn’t work. I’m uninstalling Roxio right now.

    I’ll cross my fingers and I’ll let you know.

    3.If it fails disable Opengl ,or update u r drivers to latest

    4.I hope it works.
