Hi Francois In gneneral we don't use and don't support other shrinking tools than the "Compacting Feature" of our ServiceTool. You just have to run AO again and select yes to "Install Kernel-Streaming and MediaPlayer support" this will 100% help to to get rid of the DLL messages you mentioned. Best wishes, Claudia

Hi Clipper Yes you are correct, this happens when the wrong activation portal is used. @paulpaul In the ZIP file you downloaded you will find a text file called "ActivationPortal.txt", please use the URL from this text file. Best wishes, Claudia

Hi Paul Glad to hear you are happy with what you hear :-). For the Beta Version you have 2 activation keys , in the full Version of AO 2.0 you will have 5 activation keys included. Claudia

Hi Forehaven Just went trough all my emails but did not find any unanswered messages from the 10th or later. However, i am Sorry for the inconvenience. Just let me know the address you used to get AO and i will mail you the Link and Login. Claudia

Hi Dev With the coming AO 2.0 Roon (incl.Mp3 and without installing Server Essentials Role and media pack) as well as HQP will work in minimal server mode. Evetnually Roon will also work in core mode in a future update of AO. Claudia

Hello Francois This is by design. Switching to Core mode is all about removing DLL's and many other system files. Therefore many things don't work in Core Mode automatically without the help of AO. As described in the PDF manual you have to run AO again after switching to core mode and then say Yes to "Install Kernel Streaming and Media Player support". Best wishes, Claudia

Hello Is it possible you forgot to say yes to "install Kernel streaming and media player support" after you switched to core mode and ran AO again?

Hi Paul Yes, this is possible. Just write us a short email after the purchase, so we can send you the Link to the latest Beta version. Claudia

Hi Hifial Yes, the upgrade for the coming AO 2.00 is included if you buy AO 1.40 right now (also for everyone who get AO in May 2016 or later). Best wishes, Claudia
