Ok Gerard, if you have some energy left ... you could try the XXHighEnd.exe in here : AIF Support ?

Nothing in there has been explicitly changed for your problem, but it is another compile anyway, and supposed you have problems with some bits fallen over, this might help. Btw, the MP3s load normally in that version (0.9x-1a) as well.

Well, if you want, you can try it with the below zip. This is XXHighEnd.exe only; just copy it over the current 09.x-1 install (not over an older one !).

Please let me know.
Peter

Hi there Russ, thanks. It was just mentioned yesterday here : http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=726.0 (first post #4).

It has already been solved and it will be available in the next version.

Peter

Thank you Ava ...

My little contribution (FWIW) :

Why would you ever want to listen to these Windows sounds at using the PC outside of XX useage ? I don't and it really doesn't bother me.

Peter

At this moment I can only think of the "advise" to install XX on another PC (demo does not matter), so you may see yourself what the differences are, and that you maybe from there on can find what is the matter. But something really is wrong here ...

This is impossible ... I mean, there is no way the screen can obtain those sizes by itself.

Do you indeed get the question right after the install "Your settings have been lost ... Restore old settings" ?
And do you answer No each time ?

FYI : In the end everything must be played as "wav" (or PCM if you want). There's no other way on a Windows PC (that I now of). But what happens is that the conversion to WAV doesn't take place because the extension isn't explicitly recognized. And with any conversion, obviously the from-to combination must be known. In this case the "from" is not.

In the end I think the "all files" really shouldn't be there. I did that merely for some convenience (see the context your music files are in etc.).

Hmm ... XX could do that renaming for you, since it just contains there recursive walkthroughs.
But after some thinking, it is quite allright to support both AIF and AIFF, and the search can be combined into one (*.AIF*). I will do it. It will be in the next version.

Note that if you at this moment want to try, you should use dragging onto the Playlist or use the Library button. Coincidentally yesterday I found a bug that won't allow AIFFs to get into the Playlist by the other means (like Load, Random functions and more).

Thanks,
Peter

Ok, clear. But if I may ask, what holds you from renaming your files ? Can you then not use them elsewhere anymore maybe ?
Point is, each extension is one to explicitly deal with. By itself this is not a problem (it would take me an hour maybe), but it takes time at searching;
If you'd have 10,000 albums, and it would take 10 seconds to search in them, an additional extension will make 12.5 seconds of that. If that extension is unnecessary, well ...

Anyway, don't start renaming all of your AIFFs. I might just as well make AIF of it. Or combine them somehow. Ok ?
Peter

Help ...


Gerard, did you do that ? a NEW folder ?

Ok, in that case delete your latest config file. But ... where the heck has that topic gone ...

Edit : here : How to delete a misbehaving ConfigFile

Also Gerard, make sure that your install is correct. I man, don't know how many albums I must run to make that "Engine 3 did not start ..." happen, but I give up on it. Besides that, too much time was spend on it, and I concider that solved. IOW, make sure you don't run with an old XXEngine3 version !
And check your rights. Your #2 error sure indicates something is wrong there.




When the attachment is there ...  (which it is not yet)

Your numbers 3 and 4 have been solved and will be in the next version.

Hi Mike,

Nothing seems to be wrong with your procedure. Note that when you run XX "as Administrator" (denoted by rightclick on the XXHighEnd icon - Run As Asministrator !!) it CAN NOT change anything to other running programs. This is not the case when UAC is shut off. Then other programs indeed may be influenced. Also keep in mind that you can set the "Run As Administrator" as a property in the icon. Then you are done forever (for that icon).

Please try this.

Next, instead of copy paste your Activation Code as you just told, copy paste the XXHighEnd1xx.dat file from a working folder into the new 0.9x-1 folder.
If that also does not work, please let me know.

If it now works, please check for the XXEngine3 stopped working problems. They really should not be there anymore since 0.9w-9 (or one or two earlier).

BUT :

At installing a new version, under the hood questions are asked about "are you really sure to run this program" (similar), and you may not see these questions. Small Vista bug I'm afraid. I think the only one (out of several programs) that may ask for this, is ChangeWP. If this happens, you will see ChangeWP as a process running in TaskManager. It never should be there for longer than a fraction of a second. If it does, it is asking for an answer to the question I just mentioned. Right now I am not sure anymore how to make the question visible in order to answer it, but it sure can. For example, trying briefly Engine#1 should do the trick. Then, I think this by itself (not answering that question) may let error XXEngine3.
When you are able to answer the question once, it will stay out forever, but tick the checkbox "don't show this again for this program" once you have the opportunity.

It is this kind of stupid stuff I will be working on now. Huray for Vista.

Take your time if you don't feel like it right now !
Peter
