Peter,
I cannot go into Minimized Mode for 09-z7-3.
Activation (using the same code as 09-z7-2) seems successful (Red borders).
Or do you think I need a new Activation Code to go into Minimized Mode?

For the first time I perceived PA. First impression is that it has less energy focus on bass. And very clean mids/highs. I am aware that it will take me some time to get used to the new sound . And I can say more when I play Minimized (as I always do) after this problem here has been resolved.

Cheers,
Eric

I can only go 1 time in minimise mode. The 2e attempt does not work anymore.

I alway's use restore point and go back before minimise mode.

Than put in new XX folder and made the new settings and than again minimise.

Same with me, 09-z7-3 does not minimize OS.

Before installing z7-3 started z7-2 (w/ OS minimized) and restored to original/standard WinOS.
Installed 09-z7-3, tried all & registered w/ code for z7-2. All passed OK.
Tried Unattended, all fine.
Went to minimize OS and system does not minimize.

Tried returning system into normal state (one more reboot) and this time started z7-2 -order to try minimize OS.
No go. All services active, wasapi, aero theme etc...

Hmm ...

Well, at least I can tell that Normal Mode + Phase Alignment sounds awful to me. But okay, that's only teasing.

But I don't recognize any of this. Of course you should go first to Normal Mode before starting the (a) new version (I hope that is in the Release Notes somewhere).

Eric, please do NOT obtain a new Activation Code. That is, I rather sort out what is happening. But I realize you are a bit on your own for this. So, if you have that Restore Point (you should), can you go back to that, and start all over with this 0.9-z7-3 ? I don't see why it shouldn't work.

And one time (Gerard) ? that tells me nothing either. What do you mean ? one time works, and back to Normal doesn't work anymore ? or back works but then indeed a next attempt for Minimized not ??

Also for Nik ... Totally nothing has changed related to 0.9-z7-2.

Peter

Peter,

Yes back to normal mode works ok. But the second attempt that i like to minimise it does not.

I use the restore point to get it going again.

Peter,
thank you, the problem is solved by going back to a restore point and starting all over with 0.9-z7-3.
Sorry for bothering you, I could have found this solution myself.
The mystery remains why this happened.

Cheers,
Eric.

I have restore point @ day/time I installed OCX files and z7-2.
This restore point results in minimized OS and (registered) z7-2.
Returning system to Normal and trying to minimize again results with not minimized system.
Perhaps some older, from March2012.

Excuse me, but that's no solution! It's wrong when a application needs restore point.

I've re-installed OS, mbd drivers, snd crd drivers etc.
Used reg. key received for z7-2. Before registering tried all options & settings (diff mem settings, Q1 etc)
XXHE is 'partly registered': can choose 'Proc. Appointment Scheme'(s) but not engage PA (no red top/bottom stripe, no *)
And still not able to minimize OS w/ XXHE.

Beer time...

Peter
If you look earlier msgs in topic, I tried parallel installation z7-2 & z7-3 with z7-2 activation code.
Result: 'partly' registered/activated. Anyway this morning re-installed OS and all, made clean Restore Point.
Btw, thanks for very good advice on Restore Points

Sending request for new acti code.

Brgds!

Hi,

Same with me. Cannot go into MinOS.
Have fresh PC, installed 1 week back. I guess I do not have any restore points or are they created by default?

Truly, do not want to re-install all over again.

Ivo,

Instead of applying Restore Points, I'd rather that at least someone (you) gets his installation / Activation right. IOW :

I refuse to believe that applying a Restore Point is necessary to get things right. What I do believe though, is that one can do a couple of things wrong, next applies a Restore Point, *then* applies all right (which goes by a kind of nature) to next think the Restoree Point did the job.

What one can do wrong :

- End with any previous version in Minimized to next install a new version which starts off in Normal Mode. As it *seems*. But all what happens is that the Minimized button shows a wrong state.

- Install the new version over the folder of the old one. That won't work at any time.

- Copy the the Activation file of the old version into the folder of the new version; will never work.

- Apply a pre-0.9z-7 Code to a 0.9z-7 version.

- Mangle with the XX folders otherwise, which includes reinstalling the OS and such.

Either of the above can easily lead to the necessity to do it all over again, including the necessity for obtaining a new Code.

The right way (actually very simple) :

a. Cause with the current version to end up in Normal Mode;
b. Install the new version in a new folder (just leave the old folder be);
c1. Apply a previously obtained Activation Code for 0.9z-7
or
c2. When no 0.9z-7 Code is present yet, obtain an Activation Code through Paypal.

Ad c1
It is not said at all that this will work, after having applied a wrong sequence before. So, if c1 fails (won't Activate properly), go to c2 after all. Thus, c1 assumes a normal hopping to a next 0.9z-7 version (and not the solution to a once "destroyed" situation).

Ivo, in your situation you may or may not recognize that you did something wrong. In either case you can now start out right (see above) and go through Paypal again (money will of course be returned). If you then applied all as advised, you should see that it all works. In any even please let me know, because we should get rid of the "Restore Point is needed" idea. Really. And otherwise I need to understand why.
Ok ?

Thanks,
Peter

Peter,

Thanks for extended story.
I will re-install when I have time, hope this weekend.

BTW, what is the main advantage of running XX in MinOS vs. running XX unattended in "normal" OS? As I see pretty much the same things get shut down and number of processes/services left in RAM is the same. Are there anymore "lay-offs Happy" done in MinOS than in simple unattended that are not so obvious?

Thanks,

And thank you really for great audio software!!!
