pcgw32.dll and pcgw32_rso.dll should go in the same folder as MediaMonkey, not its plugins. If you move the files, the issue should be fixed. However, it is best to use the installer, choosing the MM directory instead of the Winamp directory, to manage this. If any new files are added, you would not need to do any additional work if using the installer to manage.
Hi Eric
I uninstalled all files installed for RSO (including pcgw32.dll and pcgw32_rso.dll) and started again with the installer. I think I had manually moved them at one stage to see if this would "fix" loading of MM & RSO.
The installer correctly places the 2 x pcgw32 files in MediaMonkey and the out_apx.dll in the plug-ins directory. Alas, it is still not working. When I start MM, the black dialog box showing MM is loading appears, but MM does not start. If I look in Windows Task manager, I can see an application "Remote Speakers Ouput" is loading, and if I hover the mouse over the MM icon in the toolbar, I can see the RSO "Evlauate/Activate/Days Remaining" dialog box, but it does not fully load to allow me to select any of the options. I am kept in limbo - I have to "kill" the RSO application in Windows Task Manager which allows MM to fully load (RSO plug-in not visible in Tools > Options > Player etc).
I'm really stuck here and I really want to use RSO...!! Bought a nice new shiny Airport to stream all my MM content and Remote Speaker was my last linkin the chain!! Any suggestions would be very gratefully received. Please let me know if you need more info or detail. Thanks again, Eric.
