Re: Strange Musicmatch Jukebox 10 Issue?

Hi I just installed version 10 previously had version 9-free version. I am stuck with the shellconhiddenwindow not responding when turning off pc, just as you were. I unchecked the mim.exe in the start up panel and the shellconwindow problem went away. My question now is, as soon as I open MMJB 10, the mimboot starts by itself and then I stuck with the same problem. How can I get around this? Should I re-check it each time before opening and then closing MMJB10? Is there a better way that anyone has figured out?
Thanks a bunch,
Shelley

I wish, especially for the Pro customers.
I tend to blame the success of iTunes and the competiton for these other paid cash cows that spun this bloated frenzy ... the less is more/ if it ain't broke has caused me to roll back to earlier versions of MJB on several other of my systems.

Oh man! that is still a LOT clumsy! There must be a permanent solution to this thing!:o

Can't we get MusicMatch's attention on this issue?:(

Aha...
I guess I've developed my personal workaround without really thinking about because of all that bloated on line / library / album info / purchase etc.
I have my settings as above not showing the Library when opening MJB ...
Then for access I chose File/Open and access the Library/Playlist or whatever from there and to view track tags I then right click the selection and chose Edit Track Info to view the basic tag info, lyrics etc. for the track ...
Still rather clumsy but avoids a lot of the other bloat crap.

reply to steve1a
oh hey! thanks for the reply...but the issue has not been solved...:(

I am not sure if I made myself understandable though...umm...here's what the problem is...:

say, I am playing some music from the playlist.
I have the library open.
I want to see the lyrics of my song, so I click on NOW PLAYING. But, instead of my track tags, some online page comes up...of course I can go to View>Now Playing (track Tags) to see my track tags, but going to the view menu every time is a BIG pain in the backside...MMJB seems to take for granted that I am online...

I don't have anything, except the playlist, player, and library open by default...so I don't quite get where the resizing comes in!

well, this is just one of my MMJB blues...the mouse wheel bug is ANOTHER BIG PITB (pain in the backside!:p)

Expecting all your help! Thanks in advance!;)

One more thing!!! I always want the NOW PLAYING option to display the track tags...not some online junk i don't care about...any way to do that?
In the View Dropdown only check (whatever) Player View and Current Playlist Window... if the Online Media etc. Window won't toggle off.... go to the bottom bar of that pane until you get a resize pointer and drag it up until it basically becomes a single bar ... then if you close MJB and reopen it should be gone....
It is a real pain that if you open any of these other options components the player splits apart and you basically have to go through a reassemble to get a more compact single docked view ... this also seems to happen by default when you upgrade...

QUOTE: "1)Musicmatch crashes if I attempt to use my mouse wheel to scroll"

Let me bring that old post back...I am experiencing this REALLY annoying bug...no other probs...start-up is ok...and runs pretty fine...

I am a HEAVY user of the mouse wheel...and had to struggle a bit to find out exactly what was causing the MMJB to stop responding...(cos I hardly notice when I am turning the mouse wheel)

a roundabout way to remove the non-responsive state:
maximise the mmjb window and then restore it...

the playlist window suffers from the same prob...scroll with the wheel and the tracks disappear...maximise-restore..they reappear!!!

I uninstalled MMJ10 using the add and remove software on XP. On rebooting several screens pop up with the message "mim.exe entry point not found", each followed by long entries of what seems like gobbledegook, i.e. a mix of letters, numbers and symbols, and the message 'the procedure entry point in the dynamic link library COREDll.dll could not be located.'
Clicking OK on each box lets me into XP, but the CD autostart, Help and Support, and restore system functions (and possibly other functions) seem to be disabled. I can only presume that this is down in some way to uninstalling MMJ10.
Has anyone else come across this problem before, and, if so, how did you fix it please?

Like a lot of you, I had numerous issues with MMJB V. 10. I had purchased V 10 after having stayed at 7. for several years and what a sorry disappointment V. 10 was, buggy and missing some of the features I had enjoyed in previous versions....the one that was missing in V. 10 that I missed the most was being able to have multiple libraries. After installing V. 10, I tried to like it, but I just can't and I'm having a lot of issues on my puter that are related it seems. I just went back to V. 9 and I feel better all ready. Has anyone else noticed that they didn't even update the help files for V. 10 on the website? I miss the days when it was a much smaller company.
9, heck you are a rebel. I fell back to version 8! 9 still wants to phone home upon start and makes it slow and sluggish.

Version 10 is HORRIBLE! It has to rank up there with RealNetworks super "spam" package they push on you when installing RealBadBigBuggy Audio Version 10/11/12/ whatever! ;0

I tried a dirty reinstall yesterday and got the message "mim.exe - Could not find Entry Point" into DRMCLite or something like that.

But it did not good. I still could not create an account, Use the On Demand, Radio or "Now Playing" features at all. Just keep getting the Hourglass. So it's GOT to be something about the load and path installation problem. But WHAT ? WHY is it a problem ? So far, I've had no real response from MM Support. I have gotten an email from them asking me for the same information I sent to them when I requested tech support. Why can't they let me TALK to a Live person so I don't have to keep sending the same information over and over. I could describe things much quicker.
Obviously it's not just me. I would think Yahoo would throw all it's power behind getting these issues resolved since they just spent a bundle buying MusicMatch. They just bought a product that everyone is going to drop like a hot potato with all it's bugs.

Im also having v10 issues. Ive noticed at times cpu usage is going crazy, there are mm exe's in the TM which i dont know what they're doing, there is a *.musicmatch.com entry under my trusted sites in IE which i never put in there, i have DCOM errors in my event viewer that after going through the registry come back to mim.exe - in other words v10 sucks, i downloaded it so that i could rip cd's faster but i think ill be more patient now and go back to another version. thanks all.

I also have upgraded to V.10 and have had problems. After uninstalling it and reinstalling it 3 times, it clugs along... BUT... I cannot create an account Nor will the "Now Playing" feature work. When I click either of them, an hourglass appears and won't go away. But I can still play music and look at my libraries etc.
The oddest thing about this is... I have the SAME computer at work with the SAME operating system ( WinXP Pro SP2) with all the same firewalls and software and V10 WORKS FLAWLESSLY on my work computer. So now, I have to figure out WHY it works fine on one and not the other. I would think it has something to di with some sort of security setting but don't know what in the world to look at. I have tried disabling all firewalls and it's still the same.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions what to look at?
Thanks, Tim

Re: mim.exe problems:
My Thanks to all within the forum who pointed me to the identification and solution of a problem which plagued my system over the past several months. I suspected the mim.exe application when my computer refused to shut down and the pop-up window “mim.exe shutting down” appeared. When I googled “mim.exe” I was guided to your forum.
You may be interested to know that my problems extended to my media (compact flash) card reader causing it to hang up and necessitate a manual shutdown. It also affected the Windows Device Manager (WDM). It would cause the WDM to hang up – also necessitating a manual shutdown. My son, a software engineer, suggested that it was possibly associated with MMJB’s portable device manager as found in MMJB version 10. Meerly deleting mim.exe or mimboot from your computer will not provide a permanent fix.
My solution to the problem was to uninstall MMJB 10 and revert to version 8.20.0131. (You can go back further if you wish.) Thankfully, you good folks provided me with the link to download the archives. This process required only 10-15 minutes. The only thing I had to struggle with was how to update to the “plus” version since I have a paid life time free upgrade promise. If you read all the screens carefully, they will direct you where to enter your registration key. If you have problems, contact support (best done through their “help” option) for detailed instructions. I would also suggest letting their support folks know of your disappointment with version 10.
All of my previous problems have now been solved! Yes, there are some shortcomings for those who wish to download music through MMJB and use their portable devices, but for me that loss is minimal compared to the headaches of version 10.

Thanks alot guys, after some Googleing I came across this thread. MM worked fine for me until 10, I had all the same problems you guys did and initially thought it was just me until some further research. I've e-mailed MM and still have not even so much as had a form letter response.

I don't want or need MM indexing my drives and accessing the web without my knowledge. If I want to add music to my library it should be MY choice, not Yahoo's. Well, here is a link for MM 9.0 if anyone needs it. I'll be sticking with 9.0 until they force me out of it in which case I will find another app to use.

Afail, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me.

I downloaded the pstools and made a batch file, but I still have the same problem. The batch file executes, it tries to open MM, the splash screen comes up, the chimes sound, but MM never opens.
