I would guess that you are using fretsonfire version 1.3.110, (latest version, which is full of bugs), therefore I would recommend that you-

Delete your current version of fof,
Delete your fretsonfire.ini, and the fretsonfire text document (Start > Run > %appdata%/fretsonfire/)
Either download this (full playable release of 1.2.451 with RF-Mod)- viewtopic.php?p=87518#p87518
Or if you want it closer to rockband or guitarhero, get this instead (full playable release of 1.2.451 with FoFiX mod)- viewtopic.php?f=11&t=34231&p=358245#p358245
(you may need to create a songs folder in your data folder to put in the songs)


I also think that you should-

Update your Graphics drivers.
(If you dont know what graphics card you have, then either go to your Desktop > Right Click > Properties > Settings and it will tell you in 'Display' next to the monitor, or you can go to Start > Run, and type in: dxdiag, and then click on the 'Display' tab at the top.
It is most likely that you will have an NVIDIA, ATI or INTEL graphics card, so go to their website and get the correct graphics drivers.)

Make sure your Desktop color quality is set to 32bit.
(Desktop > Right Click > Properties > Settings > Color Quality)

Mike.

Just as a side note, in future if your gonna post a log file either hide it in a "spoiler " box or only copy a small section of it, if you notice in between the lines
" TRACEBACK most recent call last" it says the same thing over and over.. you only needed to copy one block of that text. Otherwise it just fills the entire screen up with text and looks kinda messy

Well i can see what the problem is, i just dont know whats causing it or how to fix it....
Its some form of memory error.
If anyone else can figure this one out, go for it..

-EDIT-
GOD DAMNIT.. BLACKFATE you ninja'd me while i was typing this out.. OK so its just one of those random errors that the new version throws out... Do what blackfate said.. as thats the correct thing to do for any error regarding the 2 latest versions..
