Easy Audio Capture not visible

[Catamaran]

System Info:

Processor : Athlon 64 3200+

RAM : 1GB

Video : ATI XT800 Platinum

Audio : Creative Audigy 7.1

OS : XP Pro SP2

-------------------------------------------

 

Easy Audio Capture was working correctly. I then "hid" the interface, now I cannot make it visible again. I clicked on Restore Defaults but that does not seem to have resolved the problem.

 

Activating EAC seems to do nothing. If I open Applications in Task Manager and then click on Easy Audio Capture an application called SysFader appears in the list of running applications and then disappears.

 

If I check the running processes there does not appear to be a process running that has an appropriate name.

 

Thanks for your help.

I don't think it's a bug because I can follow your steps and it works just how you would expect it to.In fact when I go to the Start menu and reopen EAC then the tray icon comes back.If I uncheck 'Show Tray Icon" it removes it again but the next time I open EAC the icon is back.

I tried finding out some stuff about SysFader and found people saying it could be anything from a Windows Display property to a virus.You might try looking at some of those threads and trying some solutions.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Some interesting threads. Numerous references to Nvidia. Except Nvidia support don't seem to have any knowledge of this file. I am inclined to think that Nvidia is not the culprit, principally because this machine has never had any Nvidia products installed.

There were actually NO references to NVidia! In my first post, I typed in the URL of one of the URL's that came up when I typed in SysFader in the Search option in IE 6.

 

If you want to see some other URL's do a Google!

How did you hide the interface? Can ypu please provide steps you did leading to the diappearance?

 

Do you see anything like this on your desktop? If so, clcik the Full Mode button.

I don't know if SysFader is causing problems, but you can read all about it, here:

Thanks for the link.

 

My graphics card is ATI Radeon X800 XT Platinum.

 

I have never installed any Nvidia equipment on this PC.

 

So that is really strange.

No, I cannot see anything. EAC is not visible in mini or full mode. Neither is the icon visible in the SysTray.

 

If I try to activate the program by clicking Start > All Programs > Roxio Easy Media 9 > Audio > Easy Media Capture - nothing happens.

 

I "hid" the program by right-clicking on the icon in the SysTray to bring up a menu. One of the items in the menu was to hide the program. I clicked on this item and the program was hidden. But now the problem is how to unhide it...??

OK..... so I have a sort of a band-aid fix. But this seems like a bug to me.

 

I restarted in the hope that things would return to "normal" - which they have. EAC is visible again.

 

So, I have now reconstructed what I did.

• Right-click on the EAC Icon in the SysTray
  
• Next to "Show Tray Icon" is a tick-mark
  
• Click on "Show Tray Icon" to remove the tick-mark
  

The SysTray Icon will then be hidden. Unfortunately so will EAC. Any attempt now to restart EAC will fail. And it is not because EAC is already running but hidden because if you check with Task Manager EAC is not shown as a running Application neither is the EAC process (AnalogRec9.exe) shown as a running process. So by clicking on "Show Tray Icon" when it is "ticked" terminates EAC but EAC thinks it is still running so won't restart. Apparently the only solution is to logout and Restart Windows.

 

In my view that is a bug - and if it isn't a bug then it is very strange behaviour. Any one of the programs that are normally displayed in SysTray can be closed by right-clicking the Icon and exiting. If you want to restart any of these programs then all you need do is simply restart the program - you most certainly don't have to Restart Windows!!
