Please try the following:

1) Go to "Winamp" Preferences (Ctrl+P)

2) Then go to "General Preferences"

3) Uncheck "Disable always on top while full screen applications are focused"

4) Press "Close" button

5) Close "Winamp"

6) Start "Winamp" again (if you want you can check that option again now)

7) Start WCC

It worked for an user but I still don't know why in some system it happens...  :huh:

Sorry, it didnt work. Have tried all variants of showing the notifier and it always blinks. Guess it's more or less a one-user-problem so I'll live with it off... Just shout if you find a solution though!

WCC beta 7 build 13:

- Options>General: "Fade cover" option added

- Skin Manager>Text: "Show track" added

- Skin Manager>Text: "Show album" added

http://www.closetosoftware.com/wccb7.zip

NOTE 1: just unzip and copy "CD Case.exe" to WCC's folder. Don't uninstall beta 6. You need it in order to beta 7 run properly.

NOTE 2: WCC beta 7 will be officially released this week

jdb264c,

1) Start WCC.

2) uncheck and check "Disable always on top while full screen applications are focused" then press "Close" button.

In addition, I can make a special version of WCC so we can TRY to find what's wrong. Contact me if you want: [email protected]

No matter what I do (Winamp stopped, paused, without song in playlist...) I'm not able to reproduce the issue...

By the way, the entire case or just the cover area flickers?

As soon as possible I will add an option to disable fade effect...

586030689[/snapback]

well no really flickers...it goes from transparent to non transparent. it does this repeatidly until i play a song.

just open up the program and then stop whatever song ur playing and watch the cover art

i really dont want to disable the fade effect, i like it, but i would like it disabled when a song isnt playing

There is a new beta 8 available (main focus: notifier flickering, which seems to be fixed).

Maybe you could try it: http://www.closetosoftware.com/wccb8.zip

NOTE: as always don't uninstall beta 7, just unzip and copy the new "CD Case.exe" into WCC's folder.

Seriously: WCC 1.0 is almost finished. I just have to fix some bugs.

i decided to completely uninstall and reinstall, and it still does the flashing thing, oh well...ill just disable the feature and use it like i used to use it

slochy, uninstall, reinstall, restart ur comp and then open up winamp, that file is a .dll used in this program that is saved in system32

::::hah, carlos, when i turn on the fade, its now doing it when its paused, when its stopped and now when its playing... i dunno what you changed, but now this fading is ridiculous

it only does it when Fade Cover is checked....and now just received an error

Error Occured: 76

Description: Path Not found

Module: from cover

Function: SearchAlternativePicInterval:

from this error, maybe it seems that its because im using alternative covers instead of the ones u use?

1) What you wrote as your alternative cover? I have changed the alternative cover procedure to accept wildcards too. I will test this feature.

2) Regarding fading: maybe we could try a special version so we could try to track this error on your system. I'm testing in 2 PC and it's fine. Please contact me if you want: [email protected]

For now is important: Winamp version; your screen resolution; your video card; if you have or not some application that deals with desktop (e.g. topdesk, virtual desktop); if this occurs in a single or just in a dual monitor...

Hey there,

That's exactly what I tried, I still get that error message when trying to go into the options or skin manager. I absolutely don't have a clue what else to try, it's a mystery to me...

Uninstall WCC then try to install WCC beta 6 from Softpedia:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Authoring-too...p-CD-Case.shtml

For some reason the required file is not copied or registered during install.

You should have the "vbalTab6.ocx" file in your Windos\system32\

If you have it try to manually register it. Go to Run then type: regsvr32 vbalTab6.ocx

It's really getting odd now.

I have the file located in my system32 folder. I also registered it manually the way you just told me and got a confirmation message.

Then I tried WCC beta 6 and get the following message

Could it be possible that my vbalTab6.ocx is damaged or sth. like that?

Thanks a lot for your efforts here, I really appreciate it.

Something unusual is happening:

1) Unregister vbalTab6.ocx (regsvr32 /u vbalTab6.ocx)

2) manually delete vbalTab6.ocx

3) Uninstall WCC

4) Restart your PC (I think is necessary)

5) Download WCC again (just to make sure)

6) Install WCC

It should work!

Yay, it's working again! :woot:

Thank you SO much!

yea, just wanted to also say i just noticed that it seems to be flashing for everything, i decided to let this program search for covers automatically...

if you prompt BEFORE it downloads, even if u tell it not to look for the cover, it will keep asking and asking, i had to turn off the prompt...so now it searches automatically and if doesnt find it the Searching globe will flash and flash and flash, so i had to disable the image

do you think it could possibly be my customized theme? i dont know why i didnt think of that until now, but i guess im going to try and switch themes

:::::nope doesnt work, still will continue to flash
