Hi JVILLAS,
I tried your suggestion and when I tried either option dMC File Selector did maximize, but the only part that was visable was the bar at the top of the
page with dMC File Selector showing on the left side and the Minimize,maximize,
& close buttons on the right.The rest of the page just shows the wallpaper
without task bars & folders. It's like having a ghost in your computer.LOL

Hi Spoon
Just wiped dBpowerAMP and all it's components off my computer, cleared the
registry, deleted the dMC folder and reinstalled everythiing from scratch. No
changes. dMC r11-rc1 works r11 doesn't.

BTW that .dll I mentioned in an earlier post was cp3245mt.dll

The file cp3245mt.dll is part of the dBpowerAMP package. Is should be located in c:\Program Files\Illustrate\dBpowerAMP folder.

Hi Christina,
I don't think you'll find that dll in the final r11. I was just playing around with
inserting the old FileSelector 6.0.0.0 into the new r11 folder when I got the
error message. When you add the .dll, it works, but I think all you end up with is
the old FileSelector. The new FileSelector in r11 will not work with or without
the .dll on my PC. Later

Ah, I don't know, if it's from the old version or the new version. It's just there. I've not had to uninstall dMC too many times. Mostly I've installed new versions on top of whatever was there before.

I will try on another pc equipped with XP and SP2 and see if I get such problems.

Actually the file cp3245mt.dll appears to be part of dmC R11 C1. I edited the file dMC-r11rc1.exe using notepad and the name was there. Well, at least I think it wasn't just a comment.

Re: dMC File Selector In dMC-r11

When I right click on it I get the box with the restore,minimize,& close commands. The only one that does anything is the close command.Left click and
nothing happens. Bill

Hi Bill41 when you right click on the file selector and you get the restore minimize and close options have you observed whether restore or minimize is faded ( one is not an option)? Also, when you first click on dmc file selector you have observed the window open up momentarily on the lower right and then disapear. Is it possible that the window is behind your taskbar? This goes back to what Spoon thought the problem might be (jumping off screen).

Hi Cristina
I probably did a bad job of explaining what I meant. When I install a
new or older version of dMC, you have the option of uninstalling the previous version, ( recommended according to the installer ). The
cp3245mt.dll will not install with dMC r11, but if you install dMC r11
on top of dMC r11-rc1 without uninstalling, cp3245mt.dll will remain in the folder. In the end it makes no difference anyway because
the result is the same.

[quote=JVILLAS]Hi Bill41 when you right click on the file selector and you get the restore minimize and close options have you observed whether restore or minimize is faded ( one is not an option)?[quote]

One or the other is always greyed out. Close is always an option

Yeah I watch it disappear everytime I launch FileSelector, but the
question is how do I get it out. I can move the task bar off the screen and there's nothing there.LOL
Spoon is right, I just don't know how to solve the problem as my expertise is very limited.LOL

Re: dMC File Selector In dMC-r11

Between RC 1 and final, that cp3245mt.dll was removed (it was used by fileselector, but fileselector is now compiled with that file internally, which makes a smaller install).

Another change was, file selector was updated to use Windows XP themes, I noticed on my laptop when starting the screen would not refresh and would have a missing display (as you describe), putting code in to minimize the window and maximise fixed the problem on my laptop.

Try clicking the 'Restore down' button next to the red X at the top.

Hi Spoon, You had me stumped for awhile there because I,ve been using the
Windows Classic Theme forever and couldn,t find the red X you mentioned.
I assume you're talking about the maximize button in the upper right hand corner.
When I launch FileSelector, the only way I can get it to maximize is using the Windows task manager, then only the bar at the top of the page is visable and the maximize button is greyed out and it does the same thing with the Windows XP theme too. Hope I,m explaining this well enough.:confused:
Bill

Update: I just upgraded my graphics card driver, the new one is dated 11-24-04, and
when I launched FileSelector it looked like it was going to do the same old hide behind the task bar trick and then it opened up into a full page display. AFAIK it is the only program I have that exhibits this bizarre behaviour, but anyway it is working now, even if it does act a little crazy on startup.
Thanks for everyones input.
