right click context menu not working

Re: right click context menu not working

windows 8.1 - and no, not using windows media player

For what it's worth....if you really aren't using Windows Media Player, I would strongly advise you to completely disable it. It's very easy to do, it would remove all those WMP context menu entries, and you don't have to mess with the registry. (If you're not comfortable editing the registry, and there's no reason the general user should be, you really shouldn't be doing it.)

WMP can be a very invasive, troublesome program.....so there are other good reasons to disable it if you're not using it.

Which security software do you use?

Re: right click context menu not working

thank you for your help - I think it is all working now - I have both convert to and batch convert with right click. Decided with missing files I was best to uninstall, de-activate security, re-install, re-start, restore security - though I am puzzled that the security quarantine chest did not show any dbpoweramp files, so I did not realise files were incomplete.

Glad to hear you got this working.

why no upgrade - I think I felt that v14 did all I needed, but that is maybe not the most sensible approach - would be interested to hear your reasoning in favour of v15.

dBpoweramp R15 is 64-bit and supports the latest codecs.

For a comprehensive list of changes, see here:

Would I have avoided this current dilemma with v15?? Also, at the moment, am using a pc, though I use a mac most often; I had delayed upgrade considerations because no mac os version was available.

I doubt you would have avoided the issue with dBpoweramp R15. It appears your security software was the culprit, blocking the necessary changes to the registry. What security/anti-virus software are you using?
