Please put me on the list for 1 2TB HDD.
Cheers, Eric.

Thanks Peter
this opens up a new area of fun for me.
Moving all my albums to the gallery is going to keep me busy for a little while. The fun part is that it forces me to revisit my music collection.
Ciao, Eric.   

Johan,
Thanks, the area of Galleries is something I haven't explored yet. What does your advice imply in terms of simple instructions? 
Cheers,
Eric

Hello all,
Having more than 1 (external) disk where my music is stored, what would be the best way to see all my albums in the XXHE Library? There is room for just 1 Music Root. How do you guys cope with that?
Cheers,
Eric

Peter,
Playing unattended, I went to Windows Task Manager (ctrl-alt-del) to check the current CPU usage. It occurred to me that the CPU usage bar display is flickering and I am pretty sure that this is caused by playing XXHE. I
s this your intention, or is something wrong in my setup?
Cheers, Eric.       

Hello Peter,
I folllowed your installation guide for dummies to reinstall my XXHE in the correct way and, being a dummy, I seem to have lost my Undemo rights.
Please advice, thank you.

Cheers, Eric 

Peter,
the Services button works fine, no problem there.

However, after completing playing an album. I exit XXHE. Now the Services are not automatically restored by XXHE. So, I do have to start XXHE again to use the Services button. Or, I have to use the Services button before I leave XXHE. In any case, it requires a manual action. I would expect XXHE to automatically bring up Services and return to the "normal" Vista desktop when I exit XXHE.

Note: I play unattended with wallpaper switched on. Important: I did not start AutoHotkey before I start playing, because I have no intention to interrupt the play.
When I do start AutoHotkey and I use Alt-x to interrupt and stop XXHE, the problem does not occur!!
Hope this helps,
Eric

Peter,
after finishing playing XXHE 0.9x-5b, the Windows Desktop is not returned to the original setup (looks like the same kind of problem as in 0.9x-5, not being fully fixed in 0.9x-5b).
I have to manually bring up the services again using XXHE Settings. This works fine, but IMHO should be done automatically.
If this is a known bug to you, I apologise for reporting it again.

BTW, I am totally in awe re. SQ. My reference tracks sound like heaven. Please don`t change that anymore !!!!!!!

Cheers, Eric.

Peter,
after having played an album (or a track), I close XXHE and apparently the (stopped) services are restored. I am now back on the desktop. However, something has changed. The Windows Start button has changed to a different icon, and also the whole look and feel of Vista is different. Looks like also the resolution has changed. I hope that this description helps you to find what goes wrong and to fix it.

Cheers, Eric.   

And I have Vista Ultimate with SP1 and all available updates installed.
In addition to unnecessary services, I also shut down my LAN connection before I start playing.
Eric.

Peter,
re. Model 0.9x-5,
When I start XXHE with Show as Wallpaper and Stop Services ticked, there is still a small Windows Start icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Is this as designed ? I can start XXHE again through this Windows menu, so I do not necessarily need Alt-X, Right ?

Ciao, Eric.

Peter,
I would like to know which services are being stopped by XXHE 0.9x-5 because I used to stop services (like Spooler, WinDefend, TabletInputService,..... etc.) manually before I start playing XXHE.
Can I now skip doing that with 0.9x-5, or does it still make sense to continue stopping services manually ?

Gr, Eric.

Yep -- Problem solved !  THANKS Peter.

Probably some new topics:

Peter,
followed your instructions up to Right Click Edit (previous steps did not produce required result). The following is shown in a new window:


; IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT GETTING STARTED: Lines that start with a
; semicolon, such as this one, are comments.  They are not executed.

; This script has a special filename and path because it is automatically
; launched when you run the program directly.  Also, any text file whose
; name ends in .ahk is associated with the program, which means that it
; can be launched simply by double-clicking it.  You can have as many .ahk
; files as you want, located in any folder.  You can also run more than
; one ahk file simultaneously and each will get its own tray icon.

; SAMPLE HOTKEYS: Below are two sample hotkeys.  The first is Win+Z and it
; launches a web site in the default browser.  The second is Control+Alt+N
; and it launches a new Notepad window (or activates an existing one).  To
; try out these hotkeys, run AutoHotkey again, which will load this file.

#z::Run www.autohotkey.com

^!n::
IfWinExist Untitled - Notepad
   WinActivate
else
   Run Notepad
return


; Note: From now on whenever you run AutoHotkey directly, this script
; will be loaded.  So feel free to customize it to suit your needs.

; Please read the QUICK-START TUTORIAL near the top of the help file.
; It explains how to perform common automation tasks such as sending
; keystrokes and mouse clicks.  It also explains more about hotkeys.




Next steps please........

Thanks, Eric.

Hello Peter,
I am experiencing the same behaviour.
I do get the green H shortcut icon created on the desktop. When I double click on it, the following message appears:

AutoHotkey.ahk 
An older instance of this script is already running. Replace it with this
instance ?
Note: To avoid this message, see #SingleInstance in the help file.
                                                        Ja           Nee

Whatever I click, Ja or Nee, it does not matter: in either case, ALT-X does not bring up XXHE.

(so, until this has been solved, the goodies from 0.9x-5 cannot be used by me).   

Cheers, Eric.
