Messed up again with DesktopXXX
Sunday, December 11, 2005 by Darco | Discussion: DesktopX
Hi, This happened more than a week ago but I didn't want anyone here to know how stupid I am. After getting back my blank pages with the scripten exe. and having a few more bad experiences with DesktopX that I was able to either get out of or live with. I have one that I tried to find a solution to everywhere. I was trying out a few of the media players, and only one of them worked, that one was Tiggs, Killer because it played my WinAmp. None of the players that called for Windows Media Player worked for me. I noticed one by Tiggs said it was for WMP 9.something. Not knowing then which one I had I tried it and it didn't work. Since then I can not get streaming radio on any of the web pages and Coast to Coast which I subscribe to and has always used WMP stopped working it comes on and then it turns red. Some of my WMV film clips that played before will not play now, but get this some will still show the video and sound but most don't. I know it has something to do with me fooling around with the media players in DX. Since then I looked and I have WMP 8. I even tried to upgrade to WMP 10 and the installation started then it stopped and said there was something wrong. It didn't install and It didn't tell me what was wrong. So now I am stuck with a half broken player. It still plays all of the wav's on my computer but no streaming radio and hardly any WMV film clips. Can anyone tell me what I can do to get it back. I know it has something to do with me trying those media players. Please!!!!

Just wanted to mention one thing, some of the Dxplayers will only work if you have ObjectMedia installed.

Thanks, where do you get Object Media? Not that I would mess around with it again after going through all of this.

First let me say I am sorry you are having problems with Destopx.I also use and build DXthemes. It does have some problems, But i find version 3 to be fairly stable.
To answer your question... ObjectMedia comes with Object Desktop. When some one makes a dxplayer in DTX it requires ObjectMedia (unless it is made with scripts. That use either WMP or WinAmp.) This is a default setting for the DXplayer. But you can change the player you want to use in DXplayer properties. ( Go to DXplayer Configuration.. Then User preferences then check which program you want DXplayer to use. i.e.. WMP, WinAmp or even cool player. To find DXplayer configuration ...right click on an object in your player such as the player button or even volume slider. that will bring up the objects properties box.Then on the General Tab go to bottom where it says Remote Media Player Highlight it the click on Configure. in the next page click on User Preferences...
You seem to have many problems with your computer. When you changed from ME to XP was it a full Install of Windows XP or did you install an XP update over ME. Because if you just updated ME to XP you will still have the same problems you had with ME if not more. The reason I ask is because you said " When i downloaded SP 1 every thing broke on my computer" Which leads me to believe you installed XP over ME. If this is the case.. Your best option would be to Buy Windows XP Pro Format your disk and make a fresh install..

This is what I think happened also, being I was trying all of the media players. I really like Desktop X, but it certainly keeps me on my toes. I now wish I would have bought the builder edition, then I would be a permanent fixture over here.
