I saw a post in here a while ago about people with MusicMatch 7.5+ who
installed Windows XP. Whenever they started it up, it froze after the main
window loads. I was getting the same error even after reformating the
computer. I noticed after I installed Visual Basic support that came with
Office XP that MusicMatch was causing a Visual Basic error when it tried to
connect to the internet. I went to Microsoft's website, clicked on
downloads and searched for "Visual Basic," "Windows Script 5.0" came up and
so I tried installing it. After restarting the computer the problem stopped
and I can finally use MusicMatch again.
The fix works with 7.5 paid edition. Not sure about the new 8.0 or the free
7.5.
Good luck!
