Mala Errors

[stevemartins]

I posted this in the mail forum but one of the members suggested I post it in here. Hopefully you guys can help.

I've been having trouble with errors on Mala. I've only downloaded the program a few days ago so I'm still getting familiar with it but I can't seem to figure this one out. I have Mala set to automatically run when the computer turns on. The problem is, 90% of the time I get this error message when Mala attempts to run after startup:

Mala.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

After I close I can reopen Mala without problems.

The only way I can seem to prevent the error is that Mala must be running when I shut down and I have to manually shut down by clicking the start button and selecting shut down, even then I still sometimes get the error when I turn the computer back on and Mala attempts to run.

This is a problem because I would like Windows to be hidden when I install this computer in the cabinet. If i have to shut down Mala everytime I boot then reopen it to get the program to run then it kinda kills the whole "hide Windows" theme I'm going for. Ideally I would like to open straight into Mala and have the comptuer shut down when I close Mala Or shut down by pressing the power button that will be relocated on the outside of the cabinet somewhere. Problem is, I get the error message above the next time I startup when I try to shut down using either of those methods. As stated before I can only prevent this by manually shutting down windows through the start button (while Mala is running) which then exposes windows  Can anyone help me out with this problem?

which method are you using to start up with windows? The best one is a shortcut in the start up folder and if that is your method have you refreshed the shortcut?

In any case I would enable debug logging in the options-help and credits tab.

Then post the relevant section of the mala.exe.log to Swindus via the website
