Are you able to scroll down the page?

Hi Craze,

Thanks for your message.

I scrolled down and saw the thread Two qestions on dbpoweramp audio player and 3 from Spoon about the Beta versions 10, 9, and 8.

By asking whether I can scroll down, did you mean to suggest that I should try the beta version 10 ? It makes sence, at least because it seems that that version's default skin is different from my. I only wonder why Spoon didn't suggest it to me when he wrote that it seems the my skin may be corrupted.

Thanks again

I meant once you get to the skin site from the link I posted, can you scroll down to get to the different threads. Access to downloading the skins are in the threads.
There have been no known issues with the Default skin in this regard.

stibi,

I may have misread your original post. I have seen this before. But never on the Default skin. Sounds like the positioning coordinates have become corrupted which have the Amp showing off your screen. Here's how to check them and to reset them.
Be very careful to follow these instructions exactly.
I have included a screenshot to guide you.


Click Start--> Run
Type --> regedit --> Click OK

Expand the HKEY_CURRENT_USER tree and navigate to the Default skin and check the "X" and "Y" positioning coordinates.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Illustrate/dBpowerAMP/Skin/Default/Amp/Amp.

Click on the Amp folder.
Look in the right side window for the files "X" and "Y" and note the value that is in paranthesis at the end of the file line. (Its probably a huge number).

Right click on "X" and select Modify.
Select decimal. Then type in 10 in the Data Value. Click OK.

Repeat for "Y". Then close.

This should return the MainAmp back to your display.

Hope this is helpful.

Finally : I don't understand why dBpowerAMP's Player doesn't play Real media files, although these files (ra, rm, ram) are checked in the File Associations; and I have downloaded from dBpowerAMP the real codec and installed it.

Thanks in advance

If any of these are streaming RM files, DAP will not play them.

Hi Craze,

Thanks for your latest suggestions.
In the meantime I have downloaded and installed a skin named Default2 (it's author - Reliant), launched the Option menu, unchecked the Default skin and checked Default skin2. Next when I double-clicked on a MPC audio file, the player appeared on the screen and started to play the file. I tried the same in the Explorer with several audio files of different kinds and it worked too. What's more surprising : I unchecked the Default2 skin, checked the "old" default skin and now it woorkes too. I downloaded also a skin named Windows Classic (it's author - Razgo) and it works too.

Hence I didn't try your other suggestion -to amend the register.

Thanks again fot your efforts.

Hi adaywayne,

Yor reply merely cited me about dBpowerAMP's not playing real audio files, withot any suggestion of yours.

It seems that you didn' see my reply in which I wrote, that after downloading and installing Real Alternative, dBpowerAMP's player does play real files.

Anyway, thanks for tring to help.

Right...I was repsonding to the posts as I came to them, without looking ahead. It occurred to me that you might be trying to play streaming RM files. Sorry.
