Post by pcs »

Hello!

We just updated the driver for the RDS MAX 2.0 and would
like to offer you guys to test it out. Let us know what the
problems/bugs are and let us know what you miss.

Any good suggestions will be implemented in the following
days.

Bug report

Post by Frank »

I have tried to run the new driver on serveral PC's here, but they all show the message:

Component 'TrayIcon.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

After clicking "OK" the program closes.

The "Bart version" is running well.
Operating system is Windows XP Professional SP2.

Regards Frank

Damn,

I will have to rebuild the install to include this file.
It works on my pc because this file is already installed there.

yeah i get the same problem here with the file not being found as above, i mean not sure if it will work if you provide us a link to download the file for the moment and place it in the folder perhaps and then it may work for now? not sure if that will work, but hope to be able to test it soon.

Looks like this new model does mroe than the one i have still got here so doubt the sofware will work with my unit anyway, will have to get the RDS MAX 2 sometime soon unless it is worth waiting for another version which is soon to be out perhaps not sure but sounds like it is able to do more and has a little bit better filtering and the ability to turn the carrier up and down which is pretty good as cannot do that on the one i have at the moment when i get some money together might look into getting the newer version.

The old RDS MAX card will work with the new program fine.

trayicon.ico or something, it says it cannot find the file and doesn't launch the program? not sure if there is a way i can get around this perhaps or place this file by getting it from somewhere so i can test the software out?

I wonder if downloading the setup, installing it and having a try would
fix this?

What you need to do to make this beta work is this:

1.) Create a file named SongName.txt on the C drive,
such as:
c:\SongName.txt

You can download this here, if you don't know how to make
it. You will setup winamp plugin so that it will write
song title into this text file. You can enter anything
for now.

http://www.pcs-electronics.com/BetaSoft ... ngName.txt


2.) Download this registry fix (it replaces wrong port
number and wrong file directory).
http://www.pcs-electronics.com/BetaSoft ... Regfix.reg

3.) Copy this file into your windows/system32 directory (you were
probably getting error message regarding this one).
http://www.pcs-electronics.com/BetaSoft ... ayIcon.ocx

Sorry it took so long, guys. Please try it out and report
all errors here so we can wrap this driver up really quick.

Any suggestions or ideas are also welcome and will be likely
implemented.

Thanks for all the emails with suggestions, we have made
a number of changes and fixed most bugs.

Song name can now be picked up for PS also, from separate
txt file, if necessary.

I expect a full working installation to be available today or tomorrow,
it will be added to the download section.

Any resellers interested in adding their own logo can now have
this done as well.
