Chocolate Theme Wont allow MBC to load in WMC

[mariob33 2]

I have had the weirdest error where anytime that I try and open MBC using the chocolate theme it will crash and wont load.  I get the MB failed to load error msg and it takes me out to the WMC main window.  if I use the MBC configurator to swap to another theme no issue.  This was ok previously as the default WMC was not chocolate but now different story.  This occurs on all of my MBC installs across 3 machines.  Is there some shared server component with this them?  Logs from MB-Classic logs folder,

Look in the Windows\ehome folder on all your machines and, if there is a chocolate.dll in there, delete it.

I have deleted from all ehome and still get the exact same errors.

The MBC log you posted above contains a session where you successfully browsed and even played back an item with the Chocolate theme so I'm confused as to what is going on.  Please post a log from when the problem actually occurs.  Also, follow the instructions in "How to Report a Problem" to find the error in your Windows Event log.

Thank you, ebr.  This fixed the issue I was having with loading MBC with Chocolate theme enabled.

I have not been able to get chocolate to load in wmc classic on any of my main HTPCs in forever, so im confused by the statement.  On what date did I last get it to work?  the issue can be replicated evey time.  I can basically uninstall the chocolate theme load mbc with any other theme or the default classisc reinstall chocolate and get this error as soon as I make the selection.

Tried this on all machines and still see issue. I am basically unable to switch or load a session sung chocolate. All other plugins vpwork.

Search your entire machine for chocolate.dll.  Somewhere, it is finding an old MB2 version of this plug-in.

That's was it  ..There was another dll in the root of my D drive which I must have installed MB on many many moons ago  .  Thanks a lot for the patience.
