Windows 7 bug in version 0.9.9.14 with playlists

Welcome the forum, Jim.

I haven't much to say, but can't bear watching you talk to yourself... ;)

I'm sure many are using Windows 7, so I expect we would hear about it if Compatibility Mode was necessary for PVD generally. I'm still waiting for the Windows 7 upgrade for my new computer. It's for Home Premium, so I'm hoping I can do without Compatibility Mode. (It seems to be the only additional feature in Professional or Ultimate that I might have any use for. And, of course, I'd prefer not to have to us it.)

The "error message" you've posted is actually the dialog of the error reporting utility included in PVD. The bug report will tell you what the actual error was. If you can reproduce the error (and the dialog), use it to email the results to nostra. That may be help him figure out what's happening.

Hi Rick,

Very pleased to have any kind of reply. Thank you.

The error is very reproducible in Windows 7 without Compatibility Mode enabled. I will email the report to Nostra as suggested.

PS: The compatibility mode I suggested is included in Home Premium, so you should be able to use PVD in its current version and see for yourself what I am posting about. I think you are thinking of the virtual XP machine (ie. XP running as a complete operating system in a window) which is only available in Professional edition and up. This does not seem to be required for PVD as it is relatively compatible with Windows 7. Only very incompatible programs seem to require this extra level to install and run.

Thanks for the explanation. I thought it odd the Home version would exclude something so basic. I assumed it was a M$ gimmick to force users to pay more—an "It's not our fault you have to upgrade" sort of thing.  :-[  ;)

I also am experiencing probs with vddb and win7. The database works fine but the play function does not respond.
It would be nice in a future rendition to have play open a list of players to select from. I think it is an ifo file prob but not sure.
I can go to 'open containing folder' and select 'play with' from there and BSPlayer  or VLC works just fine that way. It probably
has to do with Windows Media Center but don't know how to fix it.

Welcome to the forum, rquest.

"Playing" a file from PVD should not be any different than "opening" it from Windows. What happens depends on what program you've associated the file type with. What happens when you double-click or open the IFO file from Windows Explorer?
