I recently purchased a Lola system, set it up, tested various components to ensure they were working, but as far as the software is concerned, everytime I try to run it, I get an error message saying "Microsoft viual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error ! Program .......\lola.exe abnormal program termnination" or, alternatively " program ..... lolactrl.exe has requested the runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the applications support team for more info" (as if there were such a group of individuals). I can't get a reply email nor is anyone able to help out on the phone (because no one ever answers in under 45 minutes and then they only want to take a message.

I cannot run the media manager either without fatal errors shutting down the program before it ever really completes loading up.
