Just loaded the latest version of KaraFun - 0.95 - andnow it doesn't work. When I attempt to launch the application I am presented with an Error Starting Program box which states "The KARAFUN.EXE file is linked to missing export GDIU32.DLL : GetFontUnicodeRanges"

Help!

sorry that should have been GDI32.DLL - I'm all thumbs with annoyance.

Can you tell me what's your operating system? Probably Win98 or WinME.

It seems that v0.95 does not support Windows 98/Me...
... And we do have a big dilemma:
Maybe KaraFun won't support 98/ME starting from this version. We know that only 5% of the people are browsing KaraFun website with Win98 or WinME. Besides, when KaraFun is used with an old configuration it's not so beautiful than if it's used under Windows XP.
One fact is that users with old PC hardware (more than 4 years old) won't enjoy KaraFun as other users and may use older karaoke software (like Vanbasco).

What's the best solution:
1- KaraFun compatible with Win98 / WinME but maybe with less functionnalities
2- A special installation program for Win98 / WinME users
3- Thinking about the future and not supporting Win98 and WinME

If other users have this problem, please report it here and express yourself as soon as possible. Thanks

LATEST NEWS: We think we will fix this issue in a few hours.

KaraFun has been updated (v0.95 Build 144) to fix this issue.

If your system miss the file "usp10.dll" (normally it's installed with Internet Explorer 5 or better), you can download it here: http://www.karafun.com/down/usp10.dll
Install this dll in the windows system directory or in the karafun directory.

Please tell us if it's working. Thanks!

That's what I call service!!!

New version downloaded and working a dream - my 11 year-old aspiring superstar thanks you as do I.

By the way, you are correct in guessing that I am running Windows ME. By the time that I decide to upgrade to XP that will probably be outdated also.

Once again - thanks.
