Abnormal Program Termination

[raffon]

Finally put XP on my system. Fresh install of X1.
A "Microsoft Visual C++" dialog box pops up with the message:Runtime Error
Abnormal Program Termination
Then the path to xarax.exe

Nothing shows up in event viewer.

System Spec:
XP home SP1
P4 on an Intel 845 MB
512 megs RAM
80 gig HD etc.
Nothing fancy, a plain vanilla build.

Tried uninstall/reinstall. Used the patch, tried a fix from MS. Same story. I can usually figure things out but this one is beyond my knowledge base.
I am downloading SP2 but don't know if I want to install it yet untill more feedback.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Grant did you do a fresh install of xp or a upgrade? also get your self a good reg cleaner and clean the reg out of any refrence to xara. then defrag your hdd. shut down the puter for about a minute or 2 then fresh boot then install xara from the cd then do the update to xara. also go ahead and do the sp1 and sp2 for xp before you install xara.

Fresh install. Nothing much else on it because XaraX1 is always number one program to have http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
