Looks like you did all the right stuff.  Now might be a good time to email support@stardock.com so they can start a case

I'm having the same exact problem. I almost posted a new thread when I saw this one.  Soundpackager starts up and then dies after about 5 seconds..then the SEND ERROR REPORT dialog comes up.

I haven't found a way to get SoundPackager to run on XP under a Limited User.  I'm ignorant on Vista, but reading posts it seems like the XP Ltd user issues and the Vista UAC type issues kind of follow each other around, maybe on Vista you could fix it's problem with one of the generic "Disable UAC" or "Run Elevated" tricks?

I'm not certain about the multiple install issues. I know it is after a reformat but try the simplest thing first of doing an uninstall/reinstall through Impulse. We would like to see the error report of course so if you could please send that to support@stardock.com. In the mean time try the quick reinstall (with a restart or two to clear the cache) and let me know how that works. I will try to replicate this issue myself.

For limited user you will need to right click on the .exe of the program, properties, run as admin. This is the best and easiest solution for the trouble. A good deal of skinning applications are fixed for limited users in this way. More so for XP than Vista I fairly certain.

I had this happen to me once with Vista also,After uninstalling SP I had to unhide app data,I believe it's in roaming, or local and delete the sound packager files then run CCleaner  before re-installing and it should reinstall and run ok.

Hey Seabass

No the "Run As" trick doesn't work for me on XP with this - "Run As" admin while in the ltd user changes the theme for the admin user but the ltd user still doesn't get the sounds, even during the current session or even if I leave the Soundpackager config window up.  I did a short ticket on it, KPZ-958413 if you want to look at it, but it won't tell you much.  I haven't found a workaround.

I'm not going to hog their thread, I wanted to put the idea out there hoping a Vista-smart person might be able to put it together for them.  Maybe Wizard's got the idea (or maybe the Vista version of "Run As" will do the trick, I get so lost sometimes).  Thanks.
