SmartSDR wont start on Mac using parallels

K3SF

you may have been hit with a windows update

cause this looks like a 'windows' error message.

my suggestion would be to un-install SSDR including dax & cat, reboot parallel VM, make sure windows is up todate

then reinstall SSDR., then reboot parallel vm.

i have seen similar issues running VMware-Fusion which is a windows VM
windows updates got-cha no matter where windows is runs ;-O

The strange thing Paul - this happens on a newly built OS with nothing else on it but smartsdr prior to doing any updates

While this forum being migrated i found the problem - believe it or not this was a HARDWARE issue! Talking about pulling my hair out, hard to do when you dont have any.

The machine died while working about a week ago, of course all the Apple stores were closed. I managed to find a local authorized repair center - they replaced the logic board due to a non boot issue. We came to the conclusion it was the video card. Got it back Friday and just decided to give it a go - no reinstall needed - works perfectly now

The .NET argument is mute. SmartSDR will tell you if you need a different version. I've been running SmartSDR under Parallels for more than 5 years with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
