During start a message appears that the file 'SmartSound Quicktracks Plugin.msi' (or similar) can not be found

This is due to a video application you have installed. Mobile Master itself does not need any Smartsounds or Quicktracks Plugin. Please uninstall, e.g. QuickTime.

Or, have a look at the application event log (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> Application). There you can find application errors and can examine which DLL wants to install the plugin. Search for that DLL on your computer. Chances are that you will find it more than one time on your system, but only one version should reside in your system folder, i.e. windows\system32. Please rename all the others for testing purposes.

Panda Antivirus fins a "Hacking Tool" or "Virus" (e.g. in the installation)

Error 372: Unable to load the control RichtTextBox from RICHTX32.OCX ...

An other installed software (e.g. Paperport) has install the file RICHTX32.OCX in its own program folder instead to the system32 folder and in an old version.
Uninstall that software in case you do not need it and install Mobile Master again.
In case you need that software do the following steps:
Unregister both files
windows startmenu -> Run and type in
regsvr32 /u
and append a space the full path and file name to RICHTX32.OCX. If the path has spsces it must be set in "", e.g.
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Paper Port\RICHTX32.OCX

Then delete both files and reinstall Mobile Master.
Finally copy the file RICHTX32.OCX vom C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Program Files\Paper Port\

On 64 bit systems use the folder SysWOW64 instead of System32
