I have always been able to double click on an mp3 file from a windows folder, MJ would automatically open and proceed to play the file.  Now when I double click a file, MJ opens, but goes no further.  Does anyone have ideas on a fix?

Thanks in advance,
Rob Juneau

I am currently using MJ 8.0.329

Please try updating MJ.

Jim,

With the latest version (8.0.365), I still cannot double click a file in My Documents and have it play.  It gets only as far as opening MJ.

I took the liberty of posting my system info:

Media Jukebox PLUS 8.0.365
Install Path: C:\Program Files\J River\Media Jukebox\

CPU: Intel Unknown 36 MHz MMX
Memory: Total - 523 MB, Free - 345 MB
OS: Microsoft Windows XP  Workstation 5.1  (Build 2600)

Internet Explorer: 6.0.2600.0000
ComCtl32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shlwapi.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
Shell32.dll: 6.00.2600.0000
wnaspi32.dll: Internal ASPI Layer

Thanks for your help
Rob Juneau

maybe some of the general settings may help

Thanks King Sparta, for your reply and offering your advice.  Unfortunately, none of the option changes made a difference.  Still I cannot dbl. click on an mp3 and have MJ play it.  The program opens but nothing happens.  What's strange is that 7.0 worked fine on this computer.
