Problem solved, the path in auto update song title directory was setup wrong.

Open the program and setup the autoupdate directory correctly
or disable the autoupdate.

Close winamp while doing this so it won't generate error before
you change the setting.

By the way, rds max 1.0 and 2.0 are very old. If you wish, you can
upgrade them to RDS MAX 3.0. A trade-in program exists and you
can get the new version at reduced price.

Hi,

Thanks for your swift reply.
However,i get this message by starting up the program. So i'm not able to make any adjustments in the program itself becuase it shuts down after this message.Do i have to re-install the software?

This coder was part of a batch of broadcast equipment i did sell. So before reselling,or using, i want to know what it is and how it works.
Since there was no software with it i started seaching and ended here.
What are the differences between V1 and V 3?

For a start make sure you're using the latest version of this driver from our
website, take the driver for version 2.0.

Version 3.0 is a lot better, haven't been selling the old 1.0 or 2.0 for
a while now.

If you're still stuck, make the screenshot of the error message and email
me directly.

Yes, the old information from the previous owner.
So it's working. I'm going to try another pc again to see if it is pc related.
I'm now trying with a laptop which don't have a serial port output.
Therefor i use a USB-> serial cable,maybe this don't work like it's supposed too

Make sure you're setting the correct COM port.

Also, about these USB/COm thingies, some don't work like a real COM port
and you may have a problem.

Indeed,that WAS the problem i think.
Went back to the desktop PC today and tried again.
It works! It took some time and trouble but we won the battle... :D
So it seems that i had two problems,first the wrong software version,second the usb->serial cable on the laptop.
Anyway ,thanks for your help!
