Vista - Windows Live Foldershare Has Stopped Working

I've seen a few posts about people having problems with crashes with the
above error message.

I was having this problem with the new WLF that came out in march.
Everytime it would run, it would immediately crash with the "has stopped
working" prompt. I had tried the network disabling solution to turn off the
UPnP but that didn't prevent the instant crash so I obviously couldn't
disable UPnP. I'm using Vista Ultimate 32.

The latest version 14.0.1331.0415 still did not fix it, so I was still using
the old 2.5.10. My log file gave these error messages about not being able
to access My Photos, etc. (referring to the links in My Documents) so I took
ownership of those and it didn't do anything. So I fished around in the
global.ini file and noted that the logDir argument looked like gibberish. So
I changed it to the log folder in Foldershare
(c:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\FolderShare\logs\).

That seemed to do the trick, no more crashes. Hopefully this isn't a
repost, but I couldn't find anything about this. Hopefully this will help
someone else having this crash.

I too have been plagued by this problem for about a month now. The problem
only occurs on one machine even though I can run the software on another
identical machine I built, with exact same hardware, software, etc. I'm
running Vista-64 on an Intel Q66 Quad processor, w/ 4Gb of RAM.

I submitted log files to the FolderShare team and was told to remove all
"network based folder shares". I looked and had none defined on any of my
machines. The upgrades did not help the problem; it still crashed immediately
after loading.

After seeing this report, I looked through my log files. I found an entry as
follows in my personal profile INI file. (######.ini not the global.ini).

oldDrive = ####### \\UNC\Path

I removed the oldDrive specification and resolved the issue. Foldershare now
loads and works again.

Thanks to the folder share team for all their support and assistance.

NOT!!!
