I have reinstalled and installed both .net and svcd2dvd package but still with no joy, i have had a nose round this forum but it seems no one has come up with the same error. So now i am need of some help

Any ideas ??

I have not seen this error before. However, can you try deleting any dnb_xxxx.xml files in the SVCD2DVD folder to see if that resolves the issue?

[trickiedickie]

Have you managed to resolve this problem.I have just updated to the latest version and have the exact same situation.

[ChrissyBoy]

did you have it before you updated?

[trickiedickie]

No ,i had no problems at all.Now unusable.Every time i try to open the program just get this message. Have removed and re-downloaded several times with the same result.

[ChrissyBoy]

ok. drop me an email & I will send you a different build.

[trickiedickie]

Thank you for the download,much appreciated. This build seems to be working just fine.

I got this error and "deleting any dnb_xxxx.xml files in the SVCD2DVD folder" fixed it! Just in case it helps in any debugging.

[nohope]

i'm getting the same sort of problem.
while installing i get cannot load Code-Lock.ocx

then when i try to start it i get

if i try an earlyer version it works.

[nohope]

and also i have no dnb_xxxx.xml files at all apart from the reg file in the svcd folder

[ChrissyBoy]

Can you make sure you have default XP DEP settings: https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1360890#1360890

and then reinstall. The error you are gettings on install is the issue.

[nohope]

i notice that its for xp sp2 but i've not put sp2 on so the settings you directed me to are completely different, or, i'm looking in the wrong place..

[nohope]

i've managed to get it to install without the ocx issue but i'm still getting the same error when i run the proggy.

[ChrissyBoy]

can you tell me the values you have for the following two keys in your registry:

[nohope]

debugcounter 13
debugcounterstub 28

[gsmb]

I had the same problem as 'no hope' and used 'stedlj' solution to get it to work, so try that 'no hope and see if that works.

By the way I have the same reg keys as you with the same figures in them.
