For those of you having the C++ error message when first opening Pandora, I may have a solution for you that does not involve

a hard-reset.

Here is the error:
Microsoft Visual C++ Debug Library

Debug Assertion Failed!

Program: \Program Files\Pandora\Pandora.exe
File: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\ce\include\vector
Line: 756
Expression: vector subscript out of range

After spending quite a bit of time researching this error message, it seemed to point to software installed on the device. So, I ran a sprite backup and backed up the entire system, hard-reset my FUZE, then installed Pandora. It worked. So, I tried to narrow the problem down after restoring my device. I tried uninstalling everything from the phone, which still did not do the trick without doing a hard-reset. So, I started looking around the registry for remaining software entries that were supposed to be uninstalled. Deleted all of them, and still had the same C++ error.

Then I stumbled across the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software.
I chose not to include this registry folder in my backup, performed a hard-reset, and then everything was working as it should minus some of my programs. But, Pandora did work then... So, after restoring again, I focused on the Microsoft folder since that is where the error was coming from.

I wasn't able to locate the actual problem within the folder, but I did delete it successfully while still having full functionality of my phone and its programs installed on it including all of their saved settings and everything. It also seemed that the folder and all of its entries just gets recreated when you delete it. It is needed my the system... And, now Pandora works without causing any other problems!!!

Solution:
So, this may or may not fix the problem on your phone (I do not know). But, it worked like a charm for me. Using your favorite registry editor (on device... had trouble with permissions for Mobile Registry Editor PC) navigate to the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft and delete it.

My Pandora started working immediately, but I recommend doing a soft-reset just to assure all the Microsoft folder entries are re-created.

Like I said, this may or may not work for you. All I can tell you is that it did work on my FUZE when I had over 50 programs installed. I hope it works for you too.

UPDATE: This did knock out my ability to Sync with my computer using Device Central. Now, this is leading me to believe the prblem is with ActiveSync.
TRY THIS FIX AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
