KhPro 5.01 upgrade

[Charles Snyder]

Since upgrading to the new 5.01 I have not been able to use MP3 files. I get get an error message each time I open the program telling me I haven't got the correct lame_enc.dll file. I have gone to the site recommended in the error message several times and downloaded the lame MP3 encoder file as directed. I then extracted the lame_enc.dll file to my C:|Windows\System folder as instructed but I still keep getting the error message. I have done this numerous times with most all of the lame MP3 encoder files on that site with no success. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit OS.

After all the frustration today I uninstalled the program and went back to the 5.0 program and it works just fine with MP3 and WAV files and exports to BIN files with no problems.
Is there a glitch in the upgrade or am I just not smart enought to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

Have you read this post, may help:

Reboot the computer after loading it.

I have pasted and repasted that lame file and booted and rebooted too many time to count. It just isn't recognized by KHPro 5.01.

I finally uninstalled the upgrade and reverted back to the 5.0 version and everything works just fine. I'm not a tech person but I know something is wrong somewhere. I'm just not knowledgable enought to know what it is.

I also posted a help ticket on the support page. A big help that was. All they could tell me was how to paste the lame_enc.dll file into my windows/systme folder. I know how to do that and have done it several times. I may not be a tech person but I am can read and follow instructions. Seems the MTU folks are happy to sell you a program but not too keen to help with a problem. I've just given up and returned to the old 5.0 version which works without a problem on my computer. So much for tech support.

In the link I posted previously, the other fellow stated that he pasted it in both System 32 folder and system folder.
Did you try that ?

[Charles Snyder]

I have tried everything I can think of. I posted it in the system folder only, the system32 folder only and then in both folders. I have downladed it from the site MTU recommens as well as other sites, deleted and repasted it too many times to count. It is still there in both folders but the 5.01 version will not recognize it for what ever reason.

I don't know why the older version works just fine but the upgrade doesn't. If I convert all the MP3 files to WAV or WMA they work but it is an extra step I've never had to use before and a bit of pain especially if I'm making several songs at once. I buy a lot of sound tracks from overseas that aren't found on karaoke and make my own unique songs so sometimes it is a lot of work and it was a bit easier using MP3s.
