   THANKS guys 
l got LOL player to work on another computer running xp and found it doesn't play dls (aurora )files, so l am back in the same boat , no schedular that works for me.
Someone  suggested that my font set is different and schedular will not display it, can l change something ? l have just noticed that my calender in schedular is grey(sort of ghosted) and not yellow , someone sent me a screenshot of theirs and it was yellow,will that a make difference or does this indicate a fault with my schedular ?. Is there any other players out there that will play aurora files or is there a converter that will convert dls.  to msq files

	LOL player will not play the current Aurora files. The file format is very different than it once was. Sorry.

	Bigvic, it says you must "uninstall" all previous versions, not download them. And the file is a Zip file so I'm not sure where RAR is creeping in on you. If you download the file and right click on it, you should be able to work with it in XP without WinRAR being involved.

	Shell integration allows the player to uncompress the sequence files by itself. You might be able to uncompress them yourself and resave them in their uncompressed form - I'm not sure if that would make it work, but I believe that LOL could detect whether a sequence was compressed or not. To test: By default, winRAR is installed to C:\Program Files\WinRAR - using the command line, go there and type rar - you should get a list of commands and switches available to you. If your installation is different, I'd recommend that you re-install and ensure that the option is checked.

	Thanks for replying and the info David. l have downloaded the player and installed it, but when l launch the program l get a message that says that l must install Winrar with shell intergration, l have got winrar on my computer so what does that mean ? but behind this message l can see the player but connt use it. l noticed on the download site that there is comment that says to download all previous versions, does that apply to the latest version of scheduler and if so how do delete scheduler only , thanks bigvic Edited by bigvic - 19 Sep 2008 at 5:50am

	Bigvic I don't know if this will help but here it is. I think that the optimization routines may not work with the new versions of Aurora. This was originally written to work with Spectrum when it was originally released. This was Michaels trial run at Xmas light development. Some still use it today. Heck, if I remember correctly, I was the first to ask Michael to include the AC-16 version. It saved my show... From there, so far he has proven that the sky is the limit. I hope that this helps http://www.lightsonlogan.com/software.asp Use the 0.94 version David
