Between uninstalling and reinstalling did you reboot?

Try uninstalling, restarting, redownload (just in case the download was corupted), reinstall, restart, run. See if that works.

Unfortunately the "problem" still exists--even with the restart. Any other suggestions?

I put a reply on the other post. Wonder if it is having a problem finding the sound files/packages that get downloaded with the basic package?

Sure would be great if someone actually fixed this bug... I've tried all suggestions but to no avail. How could such a solid company let such a big bug slide?

johnwasneverhere email support@stardock.com so you can give the exact problem you are having. I'm on XP 32bit and have no problems now. I did when It first came out though.

I have to admit, I've tried everything, de-installing SP & re-installing it, with reboots (multiple) in between & clearing all entries in the registry referring to SP. No luck. Whenever I try to run it, it crashes. This is on a Vista Ultimate (32 bit) high-end machine. Any suggestions?

I did have a problem right after SP want public. I know all of you have tried uninstalling, did you also uninstall all sound packages? That's what I did and did a clean install and the problem went away. I am running XP so there could be a problem with it connecting correctly with Vista.

If the uninstall, reboot and reinstall doesn't work you should email support@stardock.com. I would think they have a fix.

Mine wasn't working either until I installed SP2...that seemed to fix whatever the problem was.

SP2? meaning wat?... Coz there is no SoundPackager 2 or even ServicePack 2 for Vista. Are you taking about WinXP SP2? Btw... i had also tried out with Vista SP1 it stil doesn't work.

my name is Thomas I also have been trying to run soundpackager Just keeps on crashing
the bottom line is This software should be able to run on its own with out have to update MS Windows with there own software Sound packager should have what it need built-in the package... I have loaded sp1, sp2.... Still wont run after uninstalling, reinstalling and booting between.... come-on stardock time to fix it ????

It's not a Stardock software problem. Mine works fine. Did you install through SDC? If not, here's my suggestion: uninstall and delete any associated SoundPackager folders, then use a program like CCleaner to sweep the registry. That will remove any traces of it from the registry. Reboot. DL and install SDC from the Stardock website. Reboot. DL SoundPackager through SDC and install. Reboot. It should work. That's what I had to do.

If you have installed/uninstalled/reinstalled without removing it from the registry, it will cause the program to crash. That's why you should use Stardock Central to install SD programs. It takes care of all that for you......

As suggested in this thread, I have installed SoundPackager through SDC. I have installed, un-installed (themes and all using the SDC uninstall feature) used CCleaner and swept my registry. Rebooted, used CCleaner again (it found more) rebooted..reinstalled, and still the same issue. Every time it loads the packages, it crashes. I went into the SP folder to see if I could delete the packages that come with it, but I couldn't find them. I us XP with SP2. I have never been able to load a package since SP came out. Since the first update, I haven't been able to get past the the initial startup (to the point that it loads the sound library)
I'm wondering if it might be a setting in system sounds that I am missing. I'm at a loss.

I too went through the delete/reboot/reinstall to no avail, same as the rest of you, it crashes as soon as it tries to load, it worked fine until last update. I run VISTA. Is someone at Stardock working on resolving this program? I paid for Object Desktop, I would love to have this particular element back on, it is truly a good one.Dan.

I Recently had the same problem. I'm running vista 32 bit. I e-mailed support in regards to this matter and all is well again. this was thier reply...

Please first do the following:
-Remove all soundpacks in %allusersprofile%\Application Data\stardock\SoundPackager
-Delete %userprofile%\Application Data\Stardock\SoundPackager
-Go to the C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\SoundPackager\Skin directory and rename
SoundPackagerSkin.dll file.

Try launching SoundPackager again. Does it load?
Note: Use 'Alt+Space, c' to close out of it if it loads.

If you still have a problem, press and hold the Windows key, press R and type the following into the Run dialog:
dxdiag

Once everything loads, please click the "Save all information" button and attach the output file in a return email.


Thank you,

Hi There

My SoundPackager just quit as well. All of a sudden today, i can no longer start the program. It loads, then says loading sound schemes, then crashes. I too am running windows vista 32 bit. I recently installed my new Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatality, could this be part of the issue. SoundPackager has worked fine up til now. Those instructions abouve do not apply to Windows Vista, the directories dont match up, even with Hidden files and folders shown?

Any help would be appreciated.

Have had the same problem with SoundPackage for a year now, tried all suggestions, numerous times, without any luck. Always work through the SDC. Too much time/trouble spent. Gave up. (Vista Premium 32-bit, new high-end machine)
