Hi all,

I have built loads of fmpro developer kiosk apps and never had a problem running them before. Have recently switched to fm7 and built a new kiosk application that works on my computer and other desktop xp machines but gives the error - 'Application failed to initialize properly' and some memory error numbers on laptops. The two laptops it has so far failed to run on have no other problems, they run all other applications, one is brand new, mega quick, etc. so should have no problems running this. I have never had this problem in fmpro 4 dev edition.

Is there any solution to this type of problem? It doesn't get to the loading screen or user selection screen.

Please help. Thanks.

So nobody knows what this is?

Bit more information - it says Application Error - failed to initialise properly then gives the memory number. (basically a bunch of zeroes with a 5 in there somewhere - not important I imagine)

Could it be a registry issue? I have tried recreating the application using a different extension (XZZ). Again it works on other machines, but on one laptop it gives the application error. I read in other posts that an application error could be to do with the registry, and windows not knowing how to deal with the extension that the filemaker runtimes are given.

Any ideas, anyone?

got it fixed!

for anyone that is ever afflicted with this problem in the future, here is some help. It ended up being just one laptop's problem - a sony machine. I ran the vaio update program and updated all the various sony software on it. This fixed it. The specific error was to do with the sound manager program it has. HOpe this helps others in the future.
