I have played with the new version 09-y9 for about 4 hours with limited success.  On one of my computers it is working, but on my main music computer, I have yet to play a note of music. When I try to play a WAV file I get the Security warning about running HDCD.EXE and nothing loads into the playlist area.  After ignoring 5 of these warnings all the yellow lights at the top are lit, if that means anything.  When I load a FLAC file into the playlist area, the tracks show up without the Security warning, I can highlight a track but I still cannot get it to play.  For what it 's worth, on the computer that does work when I started up XXHighend, at some point I got messages about it registering or some such. I never got those messages on the computer where I cannot get it to play.  I have deleted everything and re-downloaded 3 times, to no avail. I have tried a 16/44 DAC and a 24/96 DAC - neither worked. And whenever it fails, I test everything by using another music player on the PC and I do get music, so it's not the stereo.

No hurry - I am sure you have lots of stuff up in the air with this release.  Whenever you can find time to suggest something, I'll try it.
Thanks,
Glynn

The fact that those programs won't run just *must* be a problem. As I told in the Release Notes, I have it too on one of the PCs but only for HDCD.exe and it seems harmless. But I don't see how it will be used when it's really needed.

So, what I'm telling, is that this is a major culprit and a real problem, while I hoped it was ocurring at one PC only (mine). But, now I have no clue why this suddenly happens. A bit similar to the ToolTips not working most of the time.

I'm with you, but really must think how to solve this. Luckily I can copy the behaviour, assumed it is about those programs which don't do a thing.

But I also wonder about those 5 leds. That doesn't fit.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll just wait 'til your next version and then try it.  As for the 5 leds, when a security warning appears, I cannot simply cancel it.  So I click somewhere else on the gui, the warning goes  behind the gui, but it is still running.  After I try to load 5 pieces of music, I have 5 of these HDCD security warnings stacked behind the XXHighEnd gui, all still running.

The computer that plays the new version is  a VAIO laptop based on a Pentium M Processor, 1.73 Ghz.

The one giving problems is a Core 2 Duo E8500, 3.17 Ghz.

In frustration yesterday I fired up one of the players I used before XXHighEnd, but it was quickly evident that it didn't sound nearly as good as your creation. So take your time and get it fixed without giving yourself a heart attack.  It is always worth the wait.

Thank you Glynn. It makes me smile. Happy

In the mean time, I would say that you can get rid of those messages just by clicking Cancel in them. Or ?
Letting them stay indeed will create anomalies which can't be overcome.

Let me know whether you could cancel them, and whether it helps.


PS: Here I am as far as having solved the problem, but it now needs some reorganization of other stuff in order to let it really go.
