As it turns out, there are several different causes that might cause this error code right before the Rosetta Stone application crashes:
Prerequisite: Checking the Minimum Requirements
If you’re encountering this issue with a very old PC configuration, it’s possible that the Rosetta Stone application is crashing due to the fact that you do not meet the minimum requirements. The minimum specs supported by the programs are on the extreme low end – you should have no trouble running the program if you brought your computer in the last 6-7 years. Here are the Hardware & Operating Requirements for PCs:
OS: Windows: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 or higherSoftware: Internet Explorer 11 + Latest version of Adobe Flash PlayerCPU: 2.33GHz or faster x86-compatible processor OR Intel® Atom™ 1.6GHz or faster processor for netbooksMemory: 1 GB of RAM or higherMinimum Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 display resolution
In case you’re certain that your computer meets the minimum requirements, move down to the next potential fix.
Method 1: Setting the Correct Time & Date
This is one of the most common reasons that will spawn the Fatal Application Error 1141 with Rosetta Stone applications. In most cases, the crash occurs after a failed date & time verification. For copyright reasons, the developers of the Rosetta Stone app programmed it to close itself forcefully if the date & time check fails (this only occurs if the values are way off). If this scenario is applicable in your particular situation, you should be able to fix the problem by accessing the Date & Time settings on your Windows computer and changing the date, the time and the timezone to the correct values. IMPORTANT: In case you already tried to change the date & time to the correct values but you noticed that the changes are reverted at every startup, chances are you’re dealing with a faulty CMOS battery. In this case, you will need to reinsert or replace the CMOS battery before following the instructions below. In case you noticed that your date & time is off and you want to correct it, follow the instructions below: In case the program still crashes with the same Fatal Application Error 1141, move down to the next potential fix below.
Method 2: Disabling / Uninstalling 3rd party Antivirus (if applicable)
If you’re using a 3rd party security suite like a system-level firewall or a fully-fledged antivirus, it’s possible that an overprotective suite is blocking the connections that the Rosetta Stone application needs to function properly. There are several 3rd party AV suites that are known to cause this problem. Here are a few that we’ve managed to identify based on user reports: AVG, Avast, ESET, Malwarebytes PRO, and ESET Nod32. If this scenario looks like it could be applicable, you have two ways forward – You can either disable the real-time protection while using Rosetta Stone or you can uninstall the 3rd party suite altogether. If you choose the first option (disabling the real-time protection), you can typically do it directly from the tray bar icon of your AV solution. Simply right-click it and see if you can find an option that disables the real-time protection. Note: The exact steps of doing this will be different depending on the AV suite that you’re using. In case this is not satisfactory or you’re using a 3rd party AV with a firewall component, you’ll need to uninstall the security component altogether & remove any remnant files to ensure that it’s not interfering with Rosetta Store. Here’s a quick step by step guide on how to do this: In case the same problem is still occurring, move down to the next potential fix below.
Method 3: Force-starting the RosettaStoneDaemon service
If none of the potential fixes above have worked for you, you should investigate to see if the main service used by Rosetta Stone (RosettaStoneDamon) is allowed to run and configured to start at every system startup. Several affected users have reported that they were able to fix the problem by accessing the Services menu and modifying the default behavior of the RosettaStoneDamon service. In case this scenario is applicable, follow the instructions below to force start the RosettaStoneDaemon service to fix the Fatal Application Error 1141:
