SynchToy 1.4 crashes after XP SP3 install

[Guest AlohaMahalo]

Hi,

 

After installing Windows XP SP3, Synchtoy 1.4 repeatedly crashes when

started with the ususal "SynchToy.exe has encountered a problem and needs to

close ..." So I send a report hoping to get some feedback but nothing. I even

tried to uninstall and reinstall it and still encounter the same problem.

there is absolutely no way to start it without the above error message. Help

!!!

 

NOTE: Just an FYI: The same problem seems to happen with Microsoft Word

2003 and it will only open in safe mode. The problem is solved by renaming

the 'normal.dot' file and then performing a 'detect and repair'. Unrelated to

this problem but I was wondering if there is a similar procedure to fix

SynchToy.

 

Thank you in advance for any feedback.
