Can't load sequences on Vixen

[jablippy]

I have downloaded a few sequences for Vixen to play around with, and I get an error everytime  I try to open them.  It says that an Unhandled Exception has occurred.  If I click on details, it says this:

Code: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.


Anyone have any idea what is going on.  I have MS .net framework 2.0 installed.

Thanks.

Are the sequences ver 1 or ver 2 of Vixen? What ver of Vixen are you using?

Can you create your own sequences? It doesn't really have to do anything, Just open a new standard seq and save it. Close the seq and try to reopen it.

If you can't create your own sequences then delete vixen and reinstall.

I agree with rick it looks like the seqence is a different version than vixen your running.
