I wanted to chime in and let "the powers that be" know that there is yet one more user who is running into these probelms (and it didn't used to happen . . . unfortunately, I can't tie the beginning of it not working to a specific change in configuration). Here is my info:
Media Jukebox PLUS 8.0.399
Install Path: C:\Audio\Programs\Media Jukebox\
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 1793 MHz MMX
Memory: Total - 523 MB, Free - 293 MB
OS: Microsoft Windows XP Workstation 5.1 Service Pack 1 (Build 2600)
Internet Explorer: 6.0.2800.1106
ComCtl32.dll: 6.00.2800.1106
Shlwapi.dll: 6.00.2800.1106
Shell32.dll: 6.00.2800.1106
wnaspi32.dll: Internal ASPI Layer
. . . also, the drive is a combo CDR/DVD drive, but, like I said, it has worked before, but consistantly does not work now.
I get the gobble-di-gook when it tries to load the information . . . while loading this "information", the drive makes a clicking noise and sounds like it is skipping or having trouble reading or something.
Same error occurs when running in Win 2000 compatability mode and crash occurs when you click on the CD in the Win 98 compatability mode.
Playing in WinAmp or Windows Media Player is fine . . . reading and burning with IBM RecordNow works fine (no other burning software being used).
Would love to know what the heck is going on here.
Thanks!
