And to answer your question, yes
I
have upgraded as stated by you and in the Readme.txt file, thanks anyway,
actually I had already rechecked my settings to be on the safe
side.

Hack
good but...Revisited......
are you sure you are putting the
right parameters into the tarmerge program? Try the following
steps......
you need to
unzip the two files "tarMerge.zip"
and "receiver_patch.zip" you should now have two
files unzipped files called "tarMerge.exe"
and "receiver_patch.arf"
Now make
sure
your Audio Receiver Manager Software is stopped by right clicking it
and
confirming that you want to stop it.
Now run Tarmerge.exe by double
clicking it in explorer and fill in the 3 boxes (it is probably easiest to
use
the browse buttons to fill the first two and to browse only to the
DIRECTORY
for the Destination tar-file and then type in the last bit (ie. browse to
"C:\Program Files\Audio Receiver\" and then type
in "receiver_new.arf" on the end of the
line
So it should look something like
the
following......
Original
tar-file : C:\Program Files\Audio
Receiver\receiver.arf
"Patch"
tar-file : C:\My
Documents\DDAR\receiver_patch.arf
Destination tar-file :
C:\Program Files\Audio
Receiver\receiver_new.arf
Note these are the directories I
use
yours may be different.
Now
click on "Create patched tar-file" which will create the
receiver_new.arf file
Nearly there now rename your original receiver.arf to
receiver_old.arf
then rename receiver_new.arf to receiver.arf (this file is 7mb in my
case
but may be different)
Just to be safe power off your
ddar
(by unplugging it from the mains) and reboot your PC then load the
audio
manager software and power on your ddar.
Give the DDAR a good go at
loading
and hopefully all will work.

Hmmmmm, just looking at this
again,
my receiver_new.arf file is still 4MB, not
7MB...............
Just started from scratch again
and
it is still 4MB......
Even more confused
now.....

tell
me
to shut up if you have heard all this before but I have just done this hack
so
my experiences might help.
I
downloaded the 7mb arf file remaned etc and tried rebooting the PC and the
DDAR
in every combination I could think of none of them worked at all
I could get the Manager SSOftware to see the DDAR but the DDAR just
hung
there initialising.
Eventually
I went back to a known working copy of receiver.arf (4mb so it must have
had
the old display server patch on it) I got that working with the DDARs
and
then patched it with the merge thingy. This gave me a file which looks
identical in size to the one I downloaded but it
works!
When
you
have fully powered off the DDAR for a good few minutes switch it back on
and
when it says initialising take the meerkats for a walk or something...the
load
seemed to take a long time.
Also
reboot the PC after you have done the patch...you shouldnt need to but
it may be that that was what solved my
problems.
I
think
you will get the grey box with the old display servber patch as well so
seeing
that may not mean you have the new patch
working.
Couple
of questions you may have answered earlier but which might clear
things
up.........
1.
Does
your DDAR initialise properly or does it jsut sit there like a
lemon?
2.
Does
the Audio software on your PC see the ddar as a
Unit?
3.
Can
you ping the DDAR from your PC.. probably teaching my maters
mater to
suck avian unborn embryos but to ping it you can type ping
NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN in the run box on win 98 ME
etc
Hope
this helps some but it probably wont!
