edsmiata addict Registered: 18/08/2002 Posts: 544 Loc: New Jersey	Started the car yesterday and as the RioCar was booting the message All Settings Lost was on the display until the boot-up was complete. Thus, all of my settings such as volume, loudness...etc. were all reset to zero. I have never seen this before or read about it so i was wondering if anybody else had the same problem at one time or another. thanks, Ed _________________________ ...One man gathers what another man spills

Thus, all of my settings such as volume, loudness...etc. were all reset to zero. I've seen it periodically, mostly with the v3alpha software. Originally I was confused by what was happening (mis-set volume etc..), so I added the code to Hijack to detect when the flash settings were lost, and display that message. It basically means this: you yanked the player (or abruptly cut the power) while it was busy, probably with the disk spinning, and it ran out of capacitor juice before it could finish dumping the current settings to the savearea in flash memory. AND this coincided with with the lucky "one chance in 64" that the savearea fifo had to be flash-erased. If you see it more often than once every 64 reboots, then something else is wrong.

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	It wasn't programmed into the player, Mark said "I added the code to Hijack to detect when the flash settings were lost, and display that message". So it was Mark that added the message, it wasn't in the original empeg code. _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday
