Convert to still missing in Vista

[RichMan]

I'll state up front that I'm new to Vista and dBpoweramp v12.4, but have run dBpoweramp for years on WinXP with the "Convert to" on the right click menu. It has never appeared in Vista even after going through the config menu many times. What may I be doing wrong? :(

64 bit vista or normal?

Sorry for the delay in responding...It is 32 bit Home Premium.

Try uninstalling dbpoweramp, reboot windows and reinstall.

I also just purchased a new computer with Vista but it has the 64 bit version with an Intel Quad Core. The "convert to" is missing and I have reintalled dbPowerAmp several times.....any suggestions??

Re: Convert to still missing in Vista

Make sure your computer is running the 64 bit Windows Explorer, not the 32 bit version.

Re: Convert to still missing in Vista

i'm also running 64-bit vista, home premium, without convert-to shell integration. when i bring up process explorer, explorer.exe is the 64-bit image, version 6.00.6000.16549... freeCommander also fails to see the integration. any other suggestions?

running 12.4 music converter, installed twice today...

thanks...

Try uninstalling dbpoweramp, reboot windows and reinstall. Also note that windows has a 'shell extension' limit, that is if there are too many programs trying to put items on the right click, Windows will remove some.

Re: Convert to still missing in Vista

this may be a silly question, but how do you find out what the limit is, and is it extendable (ie, a registry / group policy setting, etc)? i've never run into a limit, but common sense says it probably exists...

thank you!

I am not sure what the limit is, but it seems quite low.

Re: Convert to still missing in Vista

interesting. the extension is seen in explorer, but not in freecommander...

installed v13 just a few minutes ago to see if there was a difference.

See here for what one user did to get the extension to show up in TotalCommander in Vista64: http://forum.dbpoweramp.com/showthread.php?t=16364
