Thanks for the input. A bit more info based on the points raised: The installer wouldn't run in Windows 7 - it just said it wasn't compatible with the version of Windows installed. No option to ignore and continue - just quit. It was created with the version of InstallShield which came with...

I was recently asked to install an old app I wrote in Delphi 5 a few years ago, so I dug out my install CD. Unfortunately, it wouldn't install on either of the two machines they had - one running Vista and the other Windows 7. The Vista machine ran the installer OK and installed the program...

@Glenn9999 Many thanks for the input. To be honest, I've been struggling to create a basic example program showing the problem using TMediaPlayer because I've not used it before in any great depth. It doesn't have some of the events I'm used to. But I'm getting there... :) Also, I neglected...

Will do. Tomorrow, I'll knock together a small example which demonstrates the problem I'm having. Cheers TB

Quote: You need to have a separate thread that handles all of the looping and playing of .wav files. Without one, your timers won't fire, and you can't do any sort of interruption." Well the clock display is updating with the correct time, so the Timer is definitely firing. Or do you mean...

Yes - it's definitely global. :) TB

Thanks for the input. First of all, I'm using an audio suite component to play the wav - not media player as I wanted a visual oscilloscope-type display during playback of the wav. The problem appears to be that if you use the following type of program (pseudo-code): Note: Listbox 1 contains...

I've written quite a few Delphi apps with no real problems, but my latest project has me stumped. I think it's because of too many years using linear programming languages. It's quite complicated, but I'll try and be as brief as possible... Essentially, in my project, I create a list of WAV...

Thanks for that. Downloaded it and will take a look at it. TB

I've already written a working Delphi karaoke app using Winamp and the it's CDG plug-in but I was hoping it could be done without using Winamp at all. TB

I assume that no such component exists then?... :( TB

I've searched the web as well as this site and considering the popularity of karaoke, I'm surprised that there's no CDG viewer component available yet for Delphi. I have a number of MP3s with associated .CDG files and although I can call Winamp to hear and view them I'd like to be able to write...

Thanks once again! That first link looks very promising... TB

Thanks for that - I'll check it out. 3DS files are however of minor importance compared to .X files - they are the important files I need to view. Unfortunately, if I can't view them, the program isn't really worth writing so I don't want to waste too much time on 3DS files just in case. TB

As a hobby, I write DirectX games (or at least try to) which use .X and .3DS models like cars and planes - not in Delphi though. I want to write a small Delphi 5 app which will quickly view the .X models I have on hard disk. I've looked at a few of the Delphi component suites (like Delphix)...
