MRU Blaster - start problem

Hi!
I've just downloaded and installed MRU Blaster 1.4 (Database 12/07/02)
When I try to run it, I see only empty (white) window with blinking title bar. CPU usage=100%

I have Windows XP Pro +SP1
MSCOMCTL.OCX ver. 6.01.9545 (from MS Office XP)
msvbvm60.dll ver. 6.00.9237 (from system installation)

No viruses (KAV 12/06/02), no spyware (Adaware 042-24-09-2002)

What’s wrong?

BTW SpywareBlaster works great!

You seem to have the correct versions of the two files you mentioned...

What version of MSSTDFMT.dll do you have? It should be 6.0.88.4.

I haven't had any other recent reports of this problem. If you could send me an e-mail at javacoolsoftware@hotmail.com with more details on your system (such as what programs you have running in the background, etc.) I would greatly appreciate it.

Also, if you get a chance, would you mind trying to run MRU-Blaster in safe mode? (And also make sure all non-system tasks are ended). If you still get the problem, I could then rule out a potential conflict with another application.

The most recent version of this file that I can find is 6.0.84.50.

Any idea where I can get an update?

If you aren't experiencing any problems, it might be best to leave it alone and not worry about updating to the latest version. Who knows what software you might "break" by updating that file to its latest version (it SHOULDN'T break anything, but its an MS dll, so you never know).

The MRU-Blaster setup program includes the newer version of that file - but only installs it if no earlier version is present. You could rename your current version to MSSTDFMT.bak (or something similar) and run the MRU-Blaster setup to install the newer version, but again - if everything is working find I would recommend against it.

Hi Jc
MSSTDFMT.dll version was 6.0.84.50 (from MS Office XP), now is 6.0.88.4 (trick from your previous post)
Problem still exist, in safe mode too. :-(

Email with more details is on the way

No DLL
MSVBVM60.DLL
