MMJB conflict?

Published on October 6, 2003 By GhoS In Stardock Software

I'm not entirely sure if this is connected to Stardock products, but seeing first if I'm alone in this problem. I use MMJB and it always ran fine. Now though it opens and shortly thereafter it closes. I believe the problems started when I began to use DX2 betas. At first though I didn't notice a connection as I only use MMJB to burn or rip, so don't use it that often. However shutting down DX didn't make a difference in MMJB's performance. I also use Objectdock and Windowblinds (excluded MMJB) but doubt they would have much effect.
If I reboot my pc though, MMJB works just fine with DesktopX also running. That is without other programs running though. I suppose that suggests that I am running out of memory I guess as MMJB is a memory hog, but even closing open programs doesn't help any, not that I should have to do that, with 512mb I should have enough for what I run.

Anyway MMJB has tech support built-in which is rather funny since I could only access it because I was able to run the burning utility separately, otherwise I couldn't access tech support lol. So I've sent them this also, but wondered if any other users here had any issues with it and also used DX2 (as I feel that might the primary conflicting program).
Otherwise I could always just find another program that does rip and burn with an interface I like.

The first time I tried to use MMJB affter I read your message, it opened and crashed. However, I tried it several subsequent times and it worked fine -- even with other programs open. It's only using about 20mbs of memory, so that shouldn't be the problem. It has always worked with DX2 in the past -- I used to use them together all the time (even with DX2 betas) until I made a objectmedia skin for DX2. Now I only use MMJB for ripping as well. I'm not sure what your problem could be. I've found very few progs that have problems with WB, though some do have issues with Object Dock -- you might want to check there as well. Good luck.

Do you use a skin for it?

MMJB has its own skinning engine, and I have seen WB bleed through a couple times, but I don't believe that is the issue. I think I may have jumped the gun thinking it related to DX. I hadn't thought before that it could be the a/v program I have only been using for about a month. I am going to delete MMJB from my computer and reinstall, that perhaps will help clear up whatever got corrupted. In the meantime I found CDex which works well enough for ripping if I should need it.

A time back I was working on a skin for MMJB, evrything was good etc, so I builded the skin almost complete, but then I closed the player, when I restarted it, it gave an error, and didn't start.
Reinstalled it etc and began working on it again, after hours of wokr I found out I couldn't move the 'file options etc' buttons (4 buttons on the top)

could be the prob.
