First off, Hi all
 Okay my question is, I get this error through windows, "Wiimote FishtankVR has encountered a problem and needs to close." I have no problems running the whiteboard program and haven't built a led array for the finger tracking, but am wondering if I may have overlooked something obvious. I have no problems connecting with the bluetooth or programs like wiinmote. Sorry guys if this is should be a faq question but I haven't found it. I will also provide the error contents if asked and I'm running xp sp2 with .net framework 3.0

Hello,

I don't know much about this error, as I have yet to buy the hardware and get my own setup running.

However, I noticed on Johnny's blog site, he makes a comment about this error:

blarg.... a number of people have been reporting a "Wiimote FishtankVR has encountered a problem" error. but whom are able to run my other programs. Unfortunately, I can't replicate the error on any of my computers and I'm leaving for the holidays. So, fixes may be slow for the next 2 weeks. If you can shed some light on this, please add a comment to this post and I'll upload a fixed version once this problem is hashed out.

Deleting the "config.dat" file and re-running the program may help.
Installing the most recent version of DirectX may help.

(update 12/30/07) I also got some suggestions that this might be due to a "x86/x64 linkage problem" related to 64-bit version of Windows. The program needs to be recompiled for this. I'll try to post a new version sometime in the next few weeks.

I'm getting the same problem and i'm deffinately on 32-bit windows (XP, SP-2).

Try installing the DirectX Software Development Kit (SDK). It's different from the normal DirectX which ships with Windows.

Fixed the problem for me.

OK guys, I have searched high and low to find a solution to this error, but I cannot. I installed the SDK and am still getting the error. Any other ideas?

You should try linking your computer to a TV. It worked when I connected it.

Thanks for trying to help me out. Those images are in the root folder. I am trying to figure out if this is just a problem with my system and the software or is it related to the bluetooth or something? I have to think that the problem is before it is even trying to connect to the wiimote.

Thanks again for helping me.

OK - that causes the crashes for some when they DL code without the images so you have to code the failover yourself or just make sure the images are present
