Ok firstly as you are a newbie can you say where you installed eTouch into? This can be very important

Secondly what are the jpeg names? Are you calling them as cover or something else?

Thirdly are you running the programs as administration?

Fourthly can you give us an example of your folder structure

Fifthly a pic can also help sometimes.

Regards

Mark

OK the first thing you are doing wrong, but it is no fault of your own, is installing into C:\Program Files. I think with visual basic and of course a lot of other operating systems, it shows you to install into c:\Program Files

You would need to deinstall it, and then re install it into say for example c:\Jukebox

You may still have some issues as it is already in the registry, so you might have to use regedit and delete any mention of eTouch in that.

I will have a look at your picture now, and shall be on the tablet at some point today as I was just going to chill out and watching some TV this afternoon.

Thanks buddy will do that now. I have got a few albums ok but I have to go into every one and change the title of the jpg to cover. Then copy and past it into the same folder and call that coversmall. I hoping for a quicker way as I have a lot of albums.

You should not need to do that. When you run config have you ticked the "copy & rename first cover found" and also tick "Generate image thumbnails"

Not sure if it still happens but it use to be that if the original image was not named cover.jpg you would need to run config twice to get the thumbnail.
