Title: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: CoenP on April 12, 2011, 10:44:39 am Hi,
Cannot play in Win 7 anymore. When XX launches it settles in the taskbar but cannot be started anymore. Not even in 'explorer window' mode :-). On-off hotkeys work, but XX does not start play for alt-p. Even after several reboots this problem is still not solved. I did nothing spectacular between the working and not working situation. I only ticked setup for 'maximum performance' in the advanced system/performance tools. Now it is reticked to the original 'optimum'. Another thing is that, the day before, out of the blue XX would not play SC anymore. Not even after a fresh reboot. How do I get this working again? regards, Coen Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: PeterSt on April 12, 2011, 08:09:04 pm Taskbar : Maximize it (rightclick on the taskbar button etc.) and then drag it smaller. Or click on one of the preset buttons on the left (for normal resolution the best may be the 1st preset).
About SC ... I'm not sure I understand what you may be saying anyway, while you can't use XX at all (it being stuck on the taskbar). Alt-p similar. So at this moment it's a bit confusing for me. Please come back on this once you have it off of the taskbar again.

Tiling, cascading, nothing works. Rightclicking the Phasure icon on the taskbar (taakbalk) give me three options: XX shortcut, pin to taskbar, close XX. Doubleclicking the XX application or shortcut or alt-x results into an icon in the taskbar. The only thing that works (even with hotkeys) is closing it again. Is there any way to restore XX or its framework? Before XX being stuck on the taskbar I experiencenced that SC came up with the reboot message. Mixed mode worked, no problem. regards, Coen Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: boleary on April 12, 2011, 11:47:12 pm I'd try completely uninstalling xx, including using control panel uninstall for the two registry files, and then set it up with MC before trying SC. SC on my system is too finicky. No clue if this will work but .......

What Boleary says should help, but then I would first try this : How to delete a misbehaving ConfigFile (http://www.phasure.com/index.php?topic=709.0). Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: Suteetat on April 13, 2011, 10:08:23 am hmmm this is contagious, I had exactly the same problem last night for the first time. However, that was with clicking a shortcut I created on my desktop.
When I started XXHighend from the XXHighend folder, it was working ok. Go figure... Will try Peter's suggestion tonight and see. Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: CoenP on April 13, 2011, 01:18:24 pm Deleting the configfile fixes the sitiuation, though I do not know for how long.
Yesterday I 'installed' XX on the C:\ (root) partition (it resided on the music partition) with two results: - XX working again, but not long after it was stuck again on the taskbar, - I could swear SQ was better (If this is really true, I will comment on this later on in the HDD sound thread) This bug does have a relation with the exporer-coming-up-instead-of-xx bug. Before being stuck on the taskbar, XX doubles as an explorer window or it struggles, flashing a few times before coming up. When started (alt-p) it does not completely wipe the screen, but leaves the windowsicons in unattended mode. Also, this may not be related at all, I have the habit of closing an open explorer window during the boot of XX. This could ie be the window XX is started from. Like Suteetat i usually start from the shortcut (or autostart). One more thing I noticed is that, when stuck on the taskbar, something 'flies' from the Phasure icon to the lower left of the monitorscreen when the icon is clicked. With a new click it 'flies' back. It lookes like text but it vanishes to quickly. regards, Coen Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: PeterSt on April 13, 2011, 05:26:29 pm The latter you mention ("flies" etc.) is known, and the reason you won't see it (its postions are off the screen).
Btw, all of this should be eliminated in 0.9z-5. However, I'm afraid there's something else going on with your "explorer description". You can be right on this (although I don't understand it al all) because in the base there's something going on there. But let's wait for the new version first). Thank you for being so full of attention. Really helpful ! Peter Title: Re: XX stuck on taskbar Post by: CoenP on April 14, 2011, 12:33:06 pm You're welcome! :thankyou:
Its of course also in my own interest to have a flawless XX! :grin: |
