I suspect it may be an install-over-install problem. Try
uninstalling previous version and re-installing then get back to
us.

I purchased Serious Magic Corp.'s Visual Communicator 2, Pro
version, a couple of weeks ago. I had played with the demo version some
months back. The demo version worked fine on my computer. The
purchased version seems to be full of problems. On four different days
I've tried to work with the software and each time it locks up or generates
error messages. I'm currently staring at a error message that says "the
following program has performed an illegal operation". One time it
locked up my machine so badly that even task manager wouldn't run.
I
have called and sent e-mail today looking for support -- so far no
response.
I think the program has some interesting possibilities for
certain situations, but I'm very frustrated with them and their support.
I have an account and password for their online forum, but got stuck in some
kind of loop from a screen that says login complete then going back to the
initial login screen again.
Does anyone here have the current version
up and running successfully?

The only way
you'll see major adoption of MPEG4 in Windows is if the
devices force
Microsoft's hand. They have absolutely no interest to
play
MPEG4 encoded content natively, especially inside the
.mp4
wrapper. It's not that they're standards averse, but as a
lot of us
will remember, working with the MPEG standards bodies is not a
very
pleasurable experience (remember, Apple is pro standards because it
means they can interoperate better, because they control a
small
minority of machines. Don't expect their behavior would
be the same if
they were the dominant player). Apparantly from
what I got the other
day at a blogger meetup with a bunch of Microsoft
people, MPEG4 would
require a seperate license across each of their
Windows SKUs. i.e.
instead of licensing MPEG4 for Windows,
they'd have to license it for XP
Home, XP Pro, XP Tablet, XP Media
Center, etc. It's not like they can't
afford it, but honestly
with that kind of perspective on licensing from
MPEG, what's Microsoft's
incentive to push the standard when they have a
competing technology with
Windows Media?
