Twonky won't run on WinXP

[mos5885]

Hello,

I installed TwonkyMedia for the first time yesterday (Trial Version - no license key yet). I want to make sure it works with my hardware first. I watched one movie with it and it worked great. Then I went to it's configuration page and added another media directory. Windows then threw up an error "TwonkyMediaServer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." Ever since then I can't run TwonkyMedia.exe or TwonkyMediaServer.exe. I get the same error. My hardware stats are below. The Dr. Watson error report is below as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. I love the software. It was the easiest I've found to set up and configure. Now I just gotta get it to work.

Thanks,
Frank


Media Server : Dell Optiplex GX240, 256Meg Ram, 20 Gig HD.
OS : Win XP, SP2
Free Disk Space : ~ 4 Gig

Media Client (this should be irrelevant though since I can't even get the .exe to launch)

DLink DSM-510, connected to network (not wireless)

Hi all,

I think I figured this out. It was the media directory I added. I added a media direcory that was attached via a network share (i.e. not on my c: or d: drive). I think Twonky didn't like that. What I ended up doing was unplugging my network cable and trying to run Twonky again. This time it worked. With the network cable still unplugged I went to the configuration page and removed the problematic directory. Then I closed Twonky, plugged the cable back in, reran Twonky and all is well.

Thanks,
--Frank
