Hi All
Ive been using sunrise for some time now and i think it's absolutely wonderful.
My XP pro machine recently had SP2 installed and since then i cant update any of my sites. Before sp2 it was fine so i figure it could be due to tightened security etc. Ive searched the forums and tried all the solutions i've seen. a) deleting the cache, 2) reinstalling java (jre1.5.0_04) ,3)editing the registry etc----- but each time i try and update within sunrise i get the error below

Any help will be really appreciated.

Are you sure you're using the latest release 0.42i? The exception stacktrace indicates you're using an older version. Try uninstalling then reinstalling the latest release (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=151061&package_id=167052).

Lauren, Thanks for the speedy reply. i think i pasted the wrong error. as part of my tests i tried installing 42e to see if that would work.Sorry. However, i downloaded the latest build and it still crashes but with the errors below
