Hi guys was on my jukebox last night for a few hours and I found freebox every now and then would freeze the system. I don't see the problem when I am just running windows. I'm wondering if any of you guys have had this problem.
I am not on the latest but no problems my end, it will help if you list the following
Operating system
Pc specs
Are you installed outside of c:\program files
Are you running as admin
Are you playing shit music that no jukebox would ever dream of playing?
Is it a dedicated jukebox or do you run other stuff on it,
Have you virus checked
etc etc etc
Regards

Hi mark,
I am running windows xp service pack 3 as admin and in c:/jukebox it's is an independent system and a clean install there is no virus killer on the machine and it's not connected to the net. As for the music my mother was playing some nasty stuff. J
Simple fix then, get rid of the Mother easy I should work for Microgreed lol
Did the jukebox lock up or just stop playing music? Were you running it single screen or dual screen? Was there anything in the error log?
I will add to this, how old is the hard drive involved? Is it new or an old one? You could have hard drive failures happening I personally for a juke would just have a SSD drive in.
The drive is fairly new. the jukebox just pauses for about 10 seconds I will have ago at reinstalling to latest release. will xp run on a SSD I might have ago. do you recommend an SSD ?
I personally would get rid of XP and use 7 and a SSD. I am not a big fan of SSD but it really does make a difference on older machines. I did have a 240 gig in my jukebox, but am replacing that with a 120 gig one and using the 240 for my arcade computer. I will get a 120 or maybe 240 for my office PC and a 120 gig and maybe more for home cinema PC,
If your computer is a very old spec, like my office PC is pentium D it does make a lot of difference. I kind of like the idea of an O/S on it's own, and then storage and apps being on another drive if they are too big.
I am trying to modernise mine at the moment, but obviiously that costs money which I am often short on, so have to do it slowly. Hopefully I might have it complete by the end of this year.
Regards
Mark

SSD need Windows 7 really.
When you say it pauses for about 10 seconds, is this at the end of a track? Does everything else work and it just plays no music. If it's on a specific track there are sometimes dead space at the end of an album. I had one that was nearly five minutes, easily edited in audacity.
