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!
 
Cheers
Mick
