[slinkelist] CDJ: Problems with new installation

[David Morgenlender]

Today I installed CDJ & my new Slink-e.  This is the latest beta version =
of CDJ,
running under Win95.  I've got a Sony CDP-CX450 connected by SLink to the
Slink-e.  I've got a CDP-CX57 connected to the CX450 by SLink. =20

Once I got some problems with the CAT5-DB9 connectors fixed, things =
seemed to
work pretty well.  But there are some problems:


1.  I told it to check all slots & lookup info in CDDB.  This seemed to =
work,
except for being VERY slow.  So I went out for a few hours & came back =
expecting
things to close to done (there are about 255 CDs in the CX450 & 5 in the =
CX57).
But when I came back CDJ was working on the disk in slot 168;  an =
Internet CDDB
Lookup dialog was displayed, saying Query - Handle Closing.  The software=
 was
hung.  So I alt-ctl-del to close CDJ, and restarted.  CDJ hung during =
it's
initial check of the players.  I noticed the CX450 had its Play & Pause =
lights
lit.  So I rebooted again, hit Stop on the CX450 remote & started again. =
 The
database looked good, filled thru 167.  I said to check all Empty slots. =
 It's
currently running & seems to be working ok.

Any idea why the problems?  Is it normally incredibly slow?  (I haven't =
timed
it, but it's probably 30-60 seconds per CD;  I have a cable modem =
Internet
connection.)


2.  I'm having problems with CDJ's Help.  When I select non-HTML Help via=
 Start,
I get a "HTML Help ActiveX Controls" dialog saying "Need newer version of
HHCTRL.OCX to read this file".  If I say OK to this & about 10 more =
repetitions
of this dialog, Help comes up ok.  OTOH, if I select Help from within =
CDJ, I go
thru all those dialogs, then get a one screen help display with no =
ability to go
anywhere from there.

Do you know what's going on with these errors?  Why do I get an HTML Help=
 error,
when I select non-HTML help?


I can't wait until CDJ finishes identifying all the CDs so I can start =
using CDJ
for real!  It looks like a very useful app with Slink-e!
