This is a strange one.
For the past three weeks I've enjoyed running through Paper Mario on P64. Minus petty graphics glitches, it worked flawlessly. I used the default graphics plug-in and Azimer Audio.
Just now I booted up P64 and BOOM! It crashes at startup. Through much trial and error, I discover Azimer Audio is the cause. Confused it should start acting up now, I yank it and settle on the default audio plug-in.
But somehow, P64 doesn't accept even that. I choose the Jabo plug-in, but P64 complains it's nonexistent or invalid. Worried there might be corrupt data, I redownloaded Azimer Audio and used that copy...BOOM! again.
This is all very strange...it's only been two days since I last played, with no crashes or failures that would corrupt only that directory. No viruses/digital blight on my computer. Crash logs available upon request.
Apologies if this has been covered before, but searching 'crash' and 'plug-in' only takes you so far...

UPDATE: Well, this is actually not P64's fault: my computer is having a major software-based audio malfunction. Half-Life 2 is also crashing on startup. Again, bizarre: nothing to speak of happened from the time I quit HL2 last night to the time I booted into Windows this evening.
Of course, you are free to advise if you so desire, even though this is now outside the scope of the forum.
