what can be causing this

Could you be a little more descriptive of what's happening?

Well, based on that very sketchy description, my wild guess is that he's got this problem.

Yeah, that's what i was gonna say... but i wanted to get a better idea before i FAQed him. =]

Wow im overwhelmed with the large amount of information you provided to help others solve your problem. :-)

sorry about the very breif discription.

Last night my empeg and I went to my friends house. I was trying to show it off. Installed EMPLODE on their computer. Every time I tried to load the players database it would get an error at getting visuals. The error was something like 0x8 which means an API win32 error.

Their computer has alot of garbage installed. I was trying to figure out a work around.

I took my empeg home and it works a ok here.

The error was something like 0x8 which means an API win32 error.

<pedantic>
No it doesn't. The 0x8 simply means that it was an error. It's only a Win32 error if the number begins 0x8007, 0x8008 or 0x8000. In particular, if it begins 0x8004, then it's an emplode error.

Moreover, the rest of the numbers (and a complete description of the error message) are helpful when attempting to diagnose the problem. We don't come up with these complicated numbers/messages for fun, you know .

However, it sounds like you might have the problem mentioned in the FAQ.

which FAQ... This error is appering in emplode when I sync.

No. What I mean is that the error is generated by emplode. What is the exact number? What is the exact message?

I cant replicate it here, it happened at my friends house. it was something in the last 3 steps of the sync about visuals.

which FAQ...

The one I linked in my first reply to your first message.

ummm this isnt my problem... I see only 2 faw on visuals one for loss and the other forsomething that isnt emplode

Okay, so I'm wrong, then.

Just for the heck of it, try a re-install of the ".upgrade" file (making sure it's the right one and re-downloading it using GetRight if necessary) from scratch. See if the error goes away.

wait .upgrade is for the player.. The emplode on my home computer works fine. This happens on my friends. I already uninstalled and reinstalled it on their computer and it still does this.. weird stuff.

Sorry, had forgotten you were talking about emplode.

is this an active problem that you would like to be fixed?
if so then you should recreate the problem and post details and error numbers so that people on this board are able to help you.
Thanks

i think I will do a screen cap in the comming month and repost
