Any 6.3 plugin could potentially cause an issue. No, the installer doesn't un-install previous versions, it simply overwrites old files that already exist with the new version, and adds new ones when necessary. So, you'll end up with old skins that may have been discontinued (like default2) and any plugins you had in your plugins folder. It would be nice if the installer would 'disable' any existing plugins at the very least ... especially in this case where old plugins are causing crashes, and they're not telling folks that it's best to do a fresh install. Anyway ... if you do a complete un-install, and a fresh install (make sure you delete or rename the slimserver folder in "Program Files") you will probably not have any issues at all. I've been running 6.5 since just before they split off the trunk for 7.0, and have been very happy with it, so it's worth the trouble to make it work. -- jeffluckett ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jeffluckett's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27675 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
