Right I have downloaded the new wallet. I am on a win 8 x64 comp here now when I run it it loads get connections etc loads block and syncs no issues. And behaves as it should.....
BUT after that it plays up and may be the issue you are missing as I had the same happen here as the other user with the runtime errors...
what I did was load the wallet sync it etc that went smooth... close it reopen to test it was working it worked etc....
I then shut the wallet down and went about setting up a conf file to solo mine the coin....
the config is as follows:
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=User
rpcpassword=Password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=24352
addnode=50.56.121.30
addnode=cryptopool.it
saved that to the roaming/app area of the wallet...
then restarted the wallet it loaded fine no issues etc..... But this is where the news gets bad lol
When I pointed the miner at the wallet it crashed and come up with the run time error but I noticed the miner was mining etc so left it run to mine as the wallet was collect coins every time a block was found.... But on every new coin that came into the wallet a new run time error box came up. etc.
Now after a while of mining I shut it down the rig and the wallet... And reloaded the wallet and it crashed straight up with the runtime error... So gave the computer a reboot and restarted the wallet no errors on the restart of the wallet and it behaved as it should.... But as soon as I kicked the mining rig back in again the runtime error appeared again.
Atm it appears the wallet is not liking been used as a server to mine off hence the pools also having the issue as I was with the solo mine there something in the coding play up I looked at the debug log could not find anything in that that stood out and it did not log the wallet error.... And I was unable to run the debug on the wallet it self due to the runtime error.
It appears without knowing to much on coding it may be the way it handles the incoming connection that the issue as it played up on the start of the miner and the incoming block rewards with a error message each time...
I hope this essay may help you to debug the problem with the wallet as I want to see this coin get up as it is a another SHA which there are not many of...

So I'm not going crazy then

Nope lol there is an issue there

That needs to be debugged so the pools can use it as a server as if it not fixed they will not touch it due do been able to run a pool of it.... SO it needs to be sloved ASAP
