edsmiata addict Registered: 18/08/2002 Posts: 544 Loc: New Jersey	1. when i change the info page to seek tool i am not able to use the control knob to move to a precise portion of the song. i thought this was possible but now i cant do it 2. The display screen sometimes goes batty and changes from full brightness to dimmer and back again...it is not the due to the settings as if i take the RioCar out of the sled and reinstall it sometimes the movement is enough to correct the problem.. any suggestions? thanks, Ed _________________________ ...One man gathers what another man spills

If you have Hijack installed, I think you will get a pop-up asking what you want to do. Just select SeekTool. _________________________ -Rob Riccardelli 80GB 16MB MK2 090000736

edsmiata addict Registered: 18/08/2002 Posts: 544 Loc: New Jersey	ahhhh....i dont have Hijack but i dont remember having to press in the knob...but to be honest...the know is getting a bit funky and is most likely in need of replacement...maybe that is the real culprit _________________________ ...One man gathers what another man spills

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	The seek tool changed between two software versions in regard to what you had to do to seek through the song with the knob. Did you upgrade since the last time you tried? _________________________ Bitt Faulk

Just select SeekTool. i did exactly that...pressed in the knob and it works fine..but now i dont know why i would want to use this function!!! _________________________ ...One man gathers what another man spills
