    Stepmania doesn't like to work on New Year's Eve?

    I had a very interesting experience with Stepmania this morning. I tried starting it and the thing got stuck on Initializing Hardware. After tinkering with it for a while, checking my hardware profiles, checking my drivers, even reinstalling Stepmania I got the same problem. Strangest thing was I had been playing SM the night before with absolutely no problems and didn't find any anomalies when I had booted the computer, so I gave up and tried opening the SM on my sister's comp and got the exact same problem. At this point the only thing I could think was Stepmania doesn't just die over night does it? Well I grabbed a CD and did a clean install on my dad's laptop and got the same problem. I unistalled and went back to my computer and after a little thinking I decided to try one more thing. I knew it was a longshot but I changed the date on my comp back to December 30 and I was surprised to find that suddenly Stepmania started working again!

    Has this happened to anyone else? Did your Stepmania take the day off this New Year's Eve?
    May peace be with you all, and may your dreams take flight upon the wings of angels.

          That actually did happen to everyone without rc2.

              I actually had some problems with rc2. I tried upgrading to it and found out none of my songs would load. So I uninstalled and dropped back down to alpha23.

                  You copied your songs from the previous stepmania folder to the rc2 folder, right? I ask because rc2 installs to the folder "stepmania" as default, as opposed to "stepmania CVS." You'll have to copy the songs folder from Stepmania CVS to Stepmania.
