Here at Loyola we recently upgraded our machines to XP, and I noticed the same problem (With Divace version 3.0.6). The problem in our case was that Divace was being run on an acount without administrative rights. If you run Divace on a machine with full administrative proviledges it should work ok. What you have to do if you'd like to have Divace run fine under a limited, user account, is give full read/write access to the files in the System folder that Divace is trying to update. I watched one of our IT staff do it and learned a very useful trick that will work for all sorts of software that refuses to run correctly on a limited account: here's what you do. First login as Adminstrator. Then, set your computer's clock to 1 year from now. Next run Divace once. The next step is to set your system clock back to the normal date. Now, run a search for all files in the System folder by modification date, and look only for files that were modified in 2005 (or one year from your current calendar year). You'll only find those files that Divace updated while it was running. Now, grant read/write permission to all users for just those files. After that, Divace will run on a limited XP account without generating any errrors. It was a neat trick, and I've never tried it myself, and I may be leaving something out, but that was the essense of how it worked.

I have a problem. We are trying to run Divace Solo on a system with XP. We've done this in the past successfully, but we had to rebuild this machine from scratch (hard-drive failure) and now it isn't working. Whenever we try to play am .mp3 file, we get two error messages. The first is a Redner ppinOut error that says "file format invalid". The second is a Getsize error that says "Not implemented". What is particularly annoying is that everytime a person hits the Recap button, or the Rewind button, etc., these error messages repeat themselves. Anyone run into these before? Any solutions?
