That seemed to help with stability, but it's still not perfect.

HI, yesterday was the first time since a month that I noticed a restart and today for 30 minutes play it happens twice. I thougth the same problem as you. Heat. I noticed too that Freedrive that yesterday was working fine, today cannot be embended. That means that when i press any key outside his surface it goes to the background and that's all. Is this a coinsidence? (hope i wrote this right)

I don't know about your Freedrive problem. If software stops working suddenly, I'll usually do a chkdsk to see if some bad sectors or file corruption have cropped up on my drive.

I do think at least some of my reboots are due to heat. One thing you might want to do is check out the maximum surface heat spec for your CPU. Then keep an eye on the CPU heat in system diagnostics in the DigitalFX skin. My CPU is rated up to 160 degrees F and, sure enough, when it showed the CPU temp hovering in the 160 degree range the system rebooted.

I also recently upgraded my processor from a Celeron to a Pentium 4 and put in a video card. I believe my inverter is only 160 watts and using some of the system power requirement computers mentioned on this site, I found that my system now needs close to 250 watts. That could be a problem for me also so I have ordered a 300 watt inverter and will see if that helps.

It has been a very hectic couple of weeks, and hopefully, in around 2 weeks after the move and all, things will be back to normal! My current home looks like a bomb went off! Boxes everywhere, and all that is left in this room is just the computer desk with this computer

.

Sorry again guys, and I plan to get back to the skin here and continue support when all this is done, but honestly, this purchase / move takes top priority right now.

No need to apologize, John. Everybody seems to be doing a good job of filling in the holes while you're gone, though we do miss you. Keep your focus on more important matters and we'll look forward to having you back when things calm down for you. Good luck with all the house stuff! (Especially since Wifey and I could use a nice, comfortable place to stay when we go to the horse shows in Wellington

Been lurking for a while and decided to take the plunge into the Car PC world. I have begun my build by ordering parts and accessories. Should all arrive early next week. In the meantime, I thought I would install RR and digital FX on my desktop to familiarize myself. I tried it on two different pc's and got the following error on both:

c:\program files\road runner\skins\zots.day\does not contain a valid skin! Check you settings and try again!

What/where is the zots.day folder?

I also tried another rr install and put it to a different hard drive. Got the same error but with a different folder. (Can't remeber folder name now as it is on home pc)

Any help is apperciated.

Thanks!

You have "Zots" skin as the "skin path" in RRconfig..change it to DigitalFX.

Hi,

I have searched forever for an answer to this but haven't found one. This issue was brought up on page 29 and no answer was given. When I load the CDRip plugin, i get the following screen and nothing seems to work. When i click on the artist space, it's supposed to load an OSK but I don't even see a jpg for the OSK in the DFX folder?

As you can see there is a weird input box and the online status doesn't work either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
After some debug, it seems that the main problem is that the CDRip can not handle png image files.
The skin and the CDRip plugin have OSK skins.

Possible workaround:
1. copy the OSK skin and image files from the CDRIP directory to the DigitalFX 2.0 directory. In this case the OSK will look different from the other skin screens.
2. in the osk.skin file change
OSK_off.png,OSK_off.png,OSK_on.png,OSK_off.png
to
OSK_off.jpg,OSK_off.jpg,OSK_on.jpg,OSK_off.jpg
and use the attached jpg files (just saved the png as jpg).
In this case the OSK will not be transparent.
3. Add PNG and transparent support to CDRip, but I can not help here.
Hope this helps.

Yesterday I was trying to use an extarnal imageviewer ACDSee. I did all the changes in menu2.ini but it don't load. If I use another program for example photoshop it loads normally. But ACDSee no. Of course i will not not use photoshop in this case. It was just a test. I want to load ACDSee in full screen just because it has a lot of options that I need. Does anyone know why is that happen?

Capri28 · 06-13-2007, 01:00 PM

you need to find the window name of your program ,usually in the title bar at the top of the program when running.
then change the imageviewer line in menu 2 to look sommthing like this

"LOAD;ImageViewer.skin;ADCSee;C:\Program Files\Road Runner\ACDSee\IACDSee.exe"

if you don't want to use the imageViewer skin,just a normal skin with the play buttons change this bit to

"LOAD;GAMES.skin;ADCSee;C:\ so on

Thanks for the reply. I already try this. I tried other programs in a command line like: "LOAD;ImageViewer.skin;ADCSee;C:\Program Files\Photoshop\photoshop.exe; acdsee" and it works eve if label is wrong. I let the same line and change the path of the exe file and it works. Only acdsee do nothing. I just try it again with this line:
B08,560,424,405,92,"LOAD;ImageViewer.skin;ACDSee 6.0;C:\Program Files\ACD Systems\ACDSee\6.0\ACDSee6.exe;ACDSee 6.0","". No success. The skin changes but the program dont start

Hi guys, my first post. I downloaded the latest Road Runner and Digital FX skin, about three days ago. I also made sure I have Winamp 2.95.

I have spent the last three days reading all 100 pages of this forum (joys of being retired).

My problem is as the title, if I hit the EQ key then RR disappears.

I took the advice in posts 1279 and 1293. My mixer off and on were already .png

In post 1462 it mentions 3 files, 2 mixer 0ff and 1 mixer on.
I only have 1 of each. Could this be the problem?

Any help would be appreciated
