Topic: flac won't fingerprint

[Big Muff]

 
So after much googling and searching about here on TS.. i could not find an answer.

Flac encodes, and verifies "ok", though when i attempt a fingerprint i get an empty .txt file.
I used md5summer ( http://www.md5summer.org/ ) to make an md5 w no problem at all.
 what could be goin on with flac?

using:
windows 7 x64 home (so xp mode is no option) though i did try the usual fixes "run as admin" and "xp compatibility"
flac version 1.2.1b


cheers!
