Title: Error opening OML file
Post by: HeinDe on August 18, 2010, 07:56:34 PM
Hello,
Does someone what to do?
When I'm starting up OtsDj (1.00.170), I'm getting the following message.
There was an error opening the oml file.

I've been using otsdj for a long long time and it always worked.
I tried to save the file to another location and give it another name, but nothing works.
Please HELP.

Greetings Hein (Netherlands)

I'm not sure that version 1.00.170 will even work with Windows 7. Niether Vista or Win 7 were around in March 2003 when that version was released.

Have you tried running in XP compatability mode?

Thank you for your answer.
I know that it dind't work under Windows Vista.
It was working under Windows 7 for about 2 months, and it is stil working.
It just doesn't load the oml file anymore at start-up, when I load it manuelly it does load, but then I can't use the "Edit in ots studio" funtion.

2 months is not a long time.  The product you are using is nearly 8 years old - why on earth would you be using such a dated version?  There have been reports of corrupted OML files inthe past.  We recommend that you backup your OML file at regular intervals.  Alternatively, you will need to create a new Media Library and add your media again.

Have fun,
Darryl.
