Reply With QuoteSwitched to the latest RideRunner and it doesn't have this issue. But it has other issues...
I had RoadRunner running great on Win7 RC but reinstalled with the latest RTM build I could get hold of and it's now broken. I reinstalled flash and winamp and after a hiccup where RR gave the error 'Unexpected error; quitting now' at startup until I'd launched it once as administrator, everything seemed like it was going to work. But when I go to play music in RR, nothing happens. It transfer me back to the music page but the track list remains empty and winamp doesn't start playing anything.
I initially used winamp 2.95 but tried 5.13 (which was what I'd had with the previous Win7 install). Both installs were from installer still sat on the local disk from when I set up Win7RC.
Anyone know what's going on?

Switched to the latest RideRunner and it doesn't have this issue. But it has other issues...... in any case, RR must run with admin rights or some things just won't work, that goes for all: NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Win7...

That isn't the problem here though. The older RoadRunner still wasn't talking to WinAmp even if I ran it as administrator. The newer RideRunner can talk to winamp fine even if I don't run it as administrator. Very wierd.

I also experienced problems after updating to Win 7 RC , It took several re-installs of RR, finally ran the installer in compatibility mode and things seemed to work, same with DFX4. Things are pretty much working now, but a few quirks here and there, considering going back to XP now that there is a new voice recognition plugin.
TruckPC - gutted, being used for test setup
BoatPC - off season - Inelmac screen needs serviced again!
BlazerPC - last vehicle PC I'll build
its not wierd.. its quite logical.. many improvements to RideRunner since, RoadRunner, including communictations to WINAMP
use RideRunner, and all will be fine...
on WIN7/(vista), set up the short cut to run as admin
or turn off UAC

True. But this is the exact same build of RoadRunner I was using successfully in the Win7RC install. Although thinking about it I've got a feeling I had this exactly problem when I was first setting it up then. I wish I could remember how I fixed it.
The jury is still out on whether I'll switch to RideRunner. I'd coded up some nice improvements to RoadRunner to work with a custom skin (multiple variations on gps and video skins to enable you to move around in the UI and still see the video/gps and easily get back to the full view). I stopped using it when I needed a bug fix in a newer RoadRunner and found the code structure had change so much that my (somewhat invasive) changes were extremely hard work to port). But I was thinking of maybe starting over and re-adding that support. But that means I'm stuck with the old RoadRunner. Or alternatively I can scrap the fancy picture-in-picture style skin idea and build a new skin idea I've had that I think shouldn't require new support in the exe.

Maybe. I've been away from the RR scene for a couple of years so it's all new to me
