for some strange reason twice in a row i've installed the mp3ts3.05 and im assuming its the newest version. Im running windows xp with all the latest updates. The program works flawlessly for about 2 weeks. then when i try to load the main program it just sits there down in the taskbar not responding. i can right click and close it but it comes up with not - responding. the shell extensions still work fine by the way. currently the only sollution is to reinstall and i hate doing that.

That sounds very strange. If it happens again, please try to delete/rename the file "mp3ts.dat" (i.e. the main settings file) in the Mp3/Tag Studio install dir, and see if that makes it any better.
Also, I assume you're not using any beta/RC of the Windows XP SP2? There is a compatibility issue with that one, which will be resolved in the next release. It shouldn't really result in this behavior though.

Not running any betas on this machine. i just did a fresh install of mp3ts so when it happens again ill try your solution. Till then i will wait with fingers crossed, and knock on wood.

FYI - Just had the same prob as 1st post under w2k latest updates, service packs, etc. After not using it for ~ 6-9 mo, It behaved exactly as described. I removed the dat file & it now appears to be working. Possibly some intervening update or odd internal file association with .dat

The problem is that the Windows XP SP2 compatibility issue is not in my own code, but in an external protection wrapper software I use. Please see < this thread > for more info about this anyway.
