Problem | Sometimes I get an error null pointer exception, Brush.getColor().... |
This is a known problem with WFC, am currently working on a fix for it , there is not much you can do about it except click Continue. This error should not affect Easimp3 operations in anyway. | |

Sorry but you must use the default windows scrollbar widths to get the best aesthetics from Easimp3. | |
Problem | I get the error "Class Format Exception" or "FontMetrics Null Pointer Exception" when starting Easimp3? |

rarely when starting a message may appear "class format exception". This
is a bug in MSJava (WFC) and a system restart

Problem | When I create a website the system freezes for a long time. |
This happens because Easimp3 typically must create many webpages and copy a large number of images when making a website. This is perfectly normal. | |
Problem | Sometimes when starting Easimp3 I click on it (on the task bar) and nothing happens (It doesnt restore)? |
This bug mostly affects Win98 machines, to overcome this simply click on the System Tray icon and select restore. | |

Either reinstall, or in Easimp3 press SHIFT+F1 and from the "Presets" page click "Reset Settings" | |
