cannot run as administrator anymore

[PeterSt]

If you also could try this, with for now unknown results - but you will tell me :

Click the Start button, and type cmd.exe
Rightclick on the cmd.exe which appears
Choose Run as Administrator

Now in the dos box, type

net user administrator /active:yes

At this moment I don't know how different this will be from switching off UAC, and I also don't know whether this has to be re-done after each boot, but at least it is interesting to know whether it helps. But please try the other things first (my before post).

Thanks,
Peter

- Uninstall Phasure
- Create that folder I was talking about again, and put those .OCX files in it.
- Next register them with regsvr32 [name].ocx
- Now Unregister them with regsvr32/u [name].ocx
- Start XX again (the version you downloaded from this topic)

This one works! Even the normal 9z2 version is working again. I copied the ocx files and the files from C:\xxhe9z2 to D:\xxhe9z. Copying just the ocx didn't helped. After I registered the ocx files I started xxhe as administrator and the setup started. After that, xxhe started normaly. Thanks Peter! It is a littlebit strange to me, that it is working now but ok, it does and that's important.

[PeterSt]

Ha, at last !

But notice this whole sequence should have ended with UNregistering those files again.
I think after that the setup.exe in your XX folder must be run again.

Ok, thanks, and sorry for your troubles.

But notice this whole sequence should have ended with UNregistering those files again.

oh, I didn't see that...Well, I will do it later

I've been having issues getting XXHE to run on a re-installed Vista build.  I've made some progress, thanks to your help, but now I can't get it to run in administrator mode.  It gives me the old "XXHighEnd has stopped working" error.  I'm trying to follow the unregister steps above, but can't find isanalloglibrary.ocx or isdigitallibrary.ocx.  The closest I can find are Interop.isAnalogLibrary.dll and Interop.isDigitalLibrary.dll in the xxhighend-09-z2 folder.  Where might they be?

[DannyD]

I found the isanaloglibrary.ocx and isdigitallibrary.ocx files, put them in the appropriate folder, registered, unregistered, reinstalled XXHE but it still won't let me run as administrator.  When I run not as administrator, XXHE complains that I won't get good sound.  But I go ahead anyway.  Next I go to make sure that the output device is set.  I see HiFace is selected, not the KS: version, and the Engine is #3.  However, KS Mode and Buffer Size are not grayed-out.  I set device to KS:, and back to plain HiFace, and all  now appears right and ready to go. I hit play and I get TEMP ERROR B and BUFFER TOO LARGE.  The track appears to be playing anyway, but no sound.  It's only 3:54 in the afternoon, but I think cocktail hour will start early today!

Life's better with a glass of Macon in my hand!  I've started re-installing Vista (again).  I was having so many problems, I figured I'd just start over.

[DannyD]

Sorry… me again.  Well that was a waste of time.  I completely reinstalled Vista and I’m faced with all the same problems.  Every one of them.  The only good news is I’m listening to music again, only this time through J. River.  They have a pre-release version that has a new Wasapi-Event mode which sounds pretty good… better than I recall previous versions sounding.  Importantly, it worked right out of the box.  Now the question is: would it sound better on Windows 7 than Vista! 

[PeterSt]

Hi Dan,

I don't know whether you got it from this topic, but in the end it isn't necessary to run "as administrator". That is, IIRC Flecko could play allright, but just couldn't do (start) it the same way as before. Until all was solved of course.

I disabeld the uac and now it works again. Strange, it worked all the time with uac. But thanks Peter! Is disabeling of uac also important for soundquality?

So, for Flecko now all was allright. The only thing is that this wasn't necessary for him, before (disabling UAC).
And SQ really doesn't change from this way of working (= disabling UAC, which avoids the necessity to Run as Administrator).
Ehh ... in W7 ? Oh boy ...

Let me comfort you a little and if ever possible : I now have problems myself at getting my system running without ticks. No clue what it is (yea, a new mobo, new processor, 628,000 new drivers installed).


After you made this complete new install ...
I assume you started out with 0.9z-2 ?
And then immediately you had the error ?
And you shut off UAC in advance (!) of everything ?

Peter


PS: How did you end up in this topic ? I mean, this is only about "can not run as administrator anymore" (see my first comment above), while you just have that error and merely should be in here : 0.9z Install problems ?
But I guess for now my questions above are important.

[PeterSt]

I found the isanaloglibrary.ocx and isdigitallibrary.ocx files, put them in the appropriate folder, registered, unregistered, reinstalled XXHE but it still won't let me run as administrator.  When I run not as administrator, XXHE complains that I won't get good sound.  But I go ahead anyway.  Next I go to make sure that the output device is set.  I see HiFace is selected, not the KS: version, and the Engine is #3.  However, KS Mode and Buffer Size are not grayed-out.  I set device to KS:, and back to plain HiFace, and all  now appears right and ready to go. I hit play and I get TEMP ERROR B and BUFFER TOO LARGE.  The track appears to be playing anyway, but no sound.  It's only 3:54 in the afternoon, but I think cocktail hour will start early today!

So this was Engine#3.
Did you use the appropriate HiFace driver ? (I assume Yes)
Can your Q1 have been set to a value you didn't expect ? It seems that no "Buffer too large" can come from it, but still.
But more importantly (see first question) : why the KS: drivers weren't there ? If you think they should, I think it can be the Run as Administrator thing. A bit of a long shot though.
Did you ever use Engine#3 with the HiFace ? (sorry if this question comes stupid to you)

[PeterSt]

For others, here are those two .OCX files, in case they are needed.

Peter,

I got the temp error B and buffer to large messages too.
It happened when I changed from engine 4 to 3.
An album with 8 flac songs stopped after processing song 7 and gave the messages and stopped playing.(Actually it never started)
I guess it is the preprocessing that's doing this?
(Vista with hiFace).

[PeterSt]

Thank you for this info Gerard;

Although I can't look into the program right now, to me it seems impossible that this actually happened during playback, unless this was Attended Playback (was it ?). And then still, something must have gone "wrong" at the end of track 7, so Engine3 restarted (which is possible). In that case I think you should have had an abnormal long silence before the message came up.

But to be clear : did you ever heard sound from Engine#3 and the HiFace ? or was it like you seem to tell, right after you switched to Engine#3 (which would have been after track 7) ?

Please let me know.
Peter

[GerardA]

Hi Peter,

I never heard sound from Vista/engine 3/hiFace.
The problem happens after I click play. The songs get greyed out one by one (slowly) and after track 7 nothing happens for a while and then the two messages pop up.
After that a long message and engine 3 stopped message.
It is unattended but still in the startup phase.
Hope this helps!
Back to engine 4 everything is normal.
But with stutters that look related to a high cpu-usage that I did not look in to yet.
Maybe micosoft looking for updates or not tweeked to death yet...

[PeterSt]

For Dan : This looks like it just can't work for Vista ? Or at least not with the drivers you and Gerard are using.

If time permits I will look into it myself, later today.

Peter
