However, long-time users occasionally encounter a cryptic, frustrating error known colloquially as the "EasyWorship 2009 24 fixed" issue. This error typically manifests as a crash, a freeze at 24% loading, or a perpetual "fixed" loop that prevents the software from launching.

If you are still running EasyWorship 2009 on an older Windows XP, Vista, or 7 machine, you have likely searched for this exact phrase. This article will explain what the "24 fixed" error means, why it happens, and—most importantly—how to fix it.

Why Does the Error Occur?

Understanding the cause is half the battle. The "24 fixed" error usually stems from three specific issues:

Method 1: The Registry Edit (Most Effective)

This is the closest thing to an official "24 fixed" solution. It resets the internal timer without altering the program files.

Steps:

  1. Close EasyWorship 2009 completely.
  2. Press Windows + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
  3. Navigate to the following path (copy and paste into the registry address bar): 
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Softouch\EasyWorship\Preferences
  4. Look for a DWORD value named TrialDaysLeft or TrialTimer.
  5. Delete that key (right-click > Delete).
  6. Still in the registry, navigate to: 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Softouch\EasyWorship (on 64-bit Windows)
    or 
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Softouch\EasyWorship (on 32-bit Windows)
  7. Delete any key named FirstRun or InstallDate.
  8. Close the Registry Editor and restart your computer.
  9. Launch EasyWorship 2009. It should now reset the trial period to 24 hours again. Once it expires, repeat these steps. (This is a periodic fix, not a permanent patch.)

Case Study: How a Church Fixed the "24" Error

Pastor Mike from Ohio emailed us with this exact issue. His church’s presentation PC (running Windows 7) would freeze at 24% every Sunday morning. After trying three different "fixes" from forums, he discovered that a Windows automatic update had replaced his msvcr71.dll file.

His solution: He used System Restore to roll back Windows to a date before the last update, then used the EWRepair.exe tool. The error vanished. He then disabled automatic updates on that machine permanently (not recommended for security, but common in legacy systems).
