Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

I've tried many times on multiple macs running windows xp on parallels to run WM Recorder

It always causes a BSOD and crash
very irritating, any solutions?

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Solutions:

Write to Parallels support and kindly request the problem to be solved
Run Windows XP without Parallels
Run Windows XP on freeware VirtualBox or any other virtual machine

The following solutions are probably more for the future

Run WM Recorder using Wine or Crossover
Run WM Recorder on ReactOS

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Bootcamp winxp causes the crash too

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

What version of WM Recorder do you use?

What kind of error exactly do you get on BSOD?

WMR 12
and the BSOD error is here...

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Hmmm... I'm stuck.

I wonder whether this is due to WinPCap. Please do me a favor, install freeware URL Snooper and let me know whether it works for you or not.

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

I dont have winpcap installed...
Just installed urlsnooper, runs fine (it also installed winpcap)

WM Recorder installs WinPCap as well.

When does WM Recorder crash your system? What mode do you use, ADA or PRO?

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Winpcap wasnt installed when i installed WMR ---
as soon as i double click the software... no time to select any modes

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

I updated WMR and used demo.. i loads up to point i select demo, WM Recorder loads then blue screen..

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Thanks - i'll send the programmer and email and see if we can figure out what's going on. :D

Re: Running WM Recorder in Windows XP + Parallels = CRASH BSOD

Hi,

Sorry for the delayed response.

The problem you're reporting is unusual. I need a few more details please.

1. When does the error occur - during installation, when the program starts, during recording, etc?

2. What program generates the error - WM Recorder, WM Capture, WM Splitter?

3. if the installation was finished, what recording mode was displayed - ADA, WMRX, PRO?

4. What OS you have - XP, Vista, 2000?

5. Is this a new installation or the program is installed over an older version?

It is important that your Internet connection is active during installation. This is necessary for WM Recorder to find your network adapter.

Uninstall the program then reinstall. Make sure you have the Internet connection active and WMR detects your network adapter (ADA mode). If this is not possible (ADA mode not setup) the program defaults to WMRX mode and this may generate the problem.

Please get back with me

2. Error occurs once i click the program, there is no time to actually see it launch, just straight to blue screen. (This is for WM Recorder, WMRX *wmrx pops up - auto-on then few secs later bsod*) WM Converter works fine

3. I do not understand this question, once setup is complete, no MODE is displayed, once fully finished with the "launch" checkbox checked, then an attempt on launch of WM Recorder occurs which again causes the BSOD.

4. XP with recent updates (SP2)

5. New Installation

Just installed SP3 - it launched, mode: ADA = Auto ON

Seems fine, i'll have to find my key and test it further, until further problems (hope not) thanks

Thanks, keep us updated please.

In the meantime, un-install and re-install as I believe the version has been updated.
