Problem with XXHE not loading directory

[briefremarks]

I have two machines running XXHE--both have worked fine so far.  One Mach III and one Mach II.  Each machine connected to a NOS1a G3 DAC.  Today all of a sudden XXHE running on the Mach II no longer loads the music directory.  XXHE on the Mach III works fine.  Both instances of XXHE point to the same directory.

I extracted the XXHE .rar again and installed another instance of XXHE on the Mach II.  Probably a bad idea, but wanted to try something.  The new instance of XXHE on the Mach II now loads the music directory BUT it is not activated.

Meanwhile the original instance of XXHE on the Mach II is activated but does not load the music directory.

Not sure why XXHE would not load music directory.  Anything I can try?

I realize I violated a fundamental guideline by attempting to start the XXHE.exe from two different folders.  Just read the download procedures again.  Essentially I followed scenario (b) by extracting the full .rar file in a new folder.  I'd be happy to get another license and activate the new instance.  This might be the easiest thing to do.  Still not sure why the first instance is unable to load directory.  The circle just spins and spins after I press "L".

I activated the second instance of XXHE.  The problem is with the folder on the external drive.  Not an XXHE issue.  For some reason, I am not able to access the folder even with explorer.  I'll figure this one out.

Confirming that the problem was not with XXHE.  For some reason, the permissions on the music directory folder has been set so I did not have access.  Fixed now.
