"smart.exe has stopped working" on Windows 8.1

Post by cofulese »

I can start the application, but whenever I open a file (of any supported type) I get the message "smart.exe has stopped working". I can see a frame of the video in the preview window before it closes. I've tried the installed version and the portable version (1.8.6). Both do the same.

Have you ever tried this on other OS, such as XP, Win7 and Win8.0?

Looking forward to your further message.

Hi

It works on a real PC, but not in a VM - I've tried virtualbox and kvm/qemu.

Any ideas?

Thanks :-)

Do you mean on you end, Smart Cutter in Win8.0/Win8.1 on real PC works, but Smart Cutter in Win8.0/Win8.1 on VM failed?

Looking forward to your further message.

Hi there

Yes. Win 8 and Win 8.1 in VM (either kvm or virtualbox) fail with the error listed in my earlier post.

Win 8 and Win 8.1 work if on physical PC

I've just been able to try Win7 on a VM (kvm) and that behaves differently again. It runs, let's me browse for a file, but when I select ok, nothing happens. File doesn't open, but app doesn't crash either.

Any help will be very much appreciated. I only need to use this in a VM (which worked when I first bought it)

I'm happy to run any diags or generate any logs you require if it will help.

Cheers
