Ok, I reinstalled Directx again and that did the trick. It works now. Ah, very good. You are not the first who has to perform this twice. Otoh, I think you had this installed earlier ?  If we only could find our ways in these specific Microsoft pages (which version is the newest, which implies what. etc.). So if you are using Quality setting #1, does it send 88.2Khz to the soundcard/dac? No. This only happens when Double or Upsample is ticked (and this is not possible with #1). When you select Quality setting #2, and check the 'double' box, does this then upsample to 88.2 Khz? Literally, no. That's what Upsample is for (not possible with #2 so far). It outputs in 88K2 though (bps is twice as high -> doubles the data).

Thank you Gerner. But for others : the fact that this works for you, sadly, doesn't say much; all depends on the current stage of your system (PC). So, what I intended with a more "raw install" for XP, was getting out of the way the probably error message masking DLLs.
The problem often is : once you get it working, there's hardly a way of getting back to the situation it didn't work (like on a development PC there's no way that things like this can be tested).
Luckily this case is already solved now.

Hi,
First of all you pointed out that lately there's two EXEs in there, while I never told which one to run (on the just too many pages that deal with that). Indeed it's XXHighEnd.exe.
Then ... It can well be so that the "install" as how it is since a week or so, wasn't excessiveley tested on XP. And, all what is in there for DLLs and Manifest files is for Vista. So could you please try this :
Remove everything except for what you see in the picture below; I can only hope for error messages you might then receive, so we can proceed from there. Anyway, I don't recall a situation that one just gets the Demo message and nothing further (i.e. without an error message). Or maybe I do, but it's too long go to recall what it was about.
Maybe others had the same ?
Peter

Just an idea Johan ...
From a distance, the picture would be the most important, right ?
Now, suppose you can touch (click) the picture, and it disappears with a convenient timer of say, 5 seconds before it returns (the number of seconds coult be a setting; This timer will stall when you use the Library button ... not when you drag from Explorer). Instead of the picture the tracknames will appear obviously ... When you drag in a track (or several) the connected album picture will show immediately just as it does currently (when you want to confirm the tracknames you'd have to touch the picture again).
For additional conveniency, when a next track starts, the picture will disappear again according the timer setting (although that might give uneasyness ?). Note that the current trackname will always show at the bottom, but that won't give you the "relativeness" of where you extactly are throughout the album (Playlist).
I'd say this covers all. Or ?
If you have any better ideas, just say so ! Peter
PS: ... the touching of the picture will be the opposite of logic when it disappears, but of course we can find something else to touch.

Chris, Rightclick on the desktop - Properties, and then as shown below. Btw, you possibly at one time changed this because of the advises floating around the internet that "Classic" sounds better (of which you know I don't believe in  , or anyway XXHighEnd should not be prone to). HTH Peter

Somehow this is related to having set the Classic (Windows2000) style, *or* this just is Windows2000.
I will try to copy this behaviour, and then try to solve it.
And Chris, If I'm right on my assumption, did you set this Classic style on purpose ? ?

USB Stick ? Floppy  Make a photograph ?   Chris, I didn't know that now *this* would be your problem.  Did you perhaps tell your PC to use enlarged fonts ? Are these the only two fields which wrap to a next line ? And do you have this in Vista as well as in XP ? Does anyone else see this ?

I think I understand what you say. And although this really is not necessary, I'll just "accept your ways", if I may say it so. I mean, you are this user, and just a showcase for it. So, no further discussion needed.  But, I do hope that this all is not read as my fault, or the fault of the player. In the mean time I also don't say it is your fault, that is ... as long as you don't say it's mine; It is an accident, caused by you being willing to test out just this stuff, not taking the (or enough) time to find out how it works. Otoh, it still could happen to anyone, and for that, inheritantly, I'm to blame.  Please remember this is not much different from installing random software, which IMHO (!) nobody tries to do on another PC than where it's used. And then OTOH again ... you were tricked by the fact that the license allows you to run the software on any PC in your network. This, while it's apparent (??) that the applicable PCs can't even talk to eachother ? Well, done with this. I will find some means to solve it.

O yes, it does ... Btw. Alt-Printscreen would be far better. It makes a copy of the active window. So ... Click on the window you want a copy from. - Press Alt-Printscreen. Open a Word document. - Click on the text area, and press Ctrl-V. Now please don't tell me that nothing happens ! because there just should ...  New to me ... (and btw not true here  ) Ehh didn't try on vista, but on XP and W2000 you have to: Alt-printScrn-Insert. So 3 buttons to hit. Then paste it into whatever. Gerner
