WinXP SP2 and FLAC Frontend
« on: September 05, 2004, 01:46:24 PM »
I installed the SP2 for WinXP this week; and initially, all seemed well. I had to tweak the warnings/notifications & such to my liking; but otherwise it seemed to go much smoother than I remember other Windows service packs being installed.

Today, I had the first occasion to listen/extract FLAC files. Each time I tried to listen, I got the message "access denied" with no error code to check the source of the malfuntion. Then, when I tried to extract, I just get a simple message stating that the file cannot be decoded.

I've tried to uninstall/reinstall FLAC Frontend with marginal success. I still can't extract from the FLAC file; but I am able to play in WinAmp for about 30 seconds before I get an error message and it stops playing. I'm now trying to roll back the SP2 installation, and I hope this cures the situation.

Anyone else run into this issue? I should have known better than to put SP2 before I got a broader range of intel from others having installed the service pack; but what can I say: I had a moment of weakness.   :(

OK...the rollback appears to have worked (what a surprise  ::) ). I'd still be interested in hearing if others experience the same problem and if you've found a resolution.

And yes: I have considered the 'Mac' solution and am looking that way as soon as the summer-trip-depleted coffers allow me to 'trade up.'   ;D

Interesting...

SP2 is the only program installation/change I've done recently; but perhaps the conflict lies in combination with the Norton stuff. Fixin' to do some more investigatin' !

I've talked with a couple other people; and they do not have a similar problem...so that leads me to believe that it's my box. Tried it on the lappy and the lappy is jus' fine.

I've had SP for almost a month as well, and no problems here either.

Governor Jim McGreevey was equally disturbed about the upcoming population increase. "New Jersey cannot support all of these wookies," he said. "For starters, we don't have nearly enough kindbud. At best, we can muster up a Q.P. of some beasties, but we've not a dime-bag more."
