Protocol/path to assign various players to different video f

@Ron Hirsch

First, Happy Holidays- There sure are a bunch of them in a 5 week period here in the states.

You too!

But when I check in my version for updates, it reports that mine is the latest. That does seem a bit strange.

See the FAQ: Why doesn't the auto-updater detect the latest version?

1. I will use XP's Add/Remove programs, as I do not see an uninstaller utility in the Opus programs folder. Or have I missed it?

Add/Remove Programs is where the uninstaller is found. (Putting Uninstallers in the Start Menu as well as, or instead of, Add/Remove Programs is against Microsoft's guidelines, although plenty of programs do it.)

You have stated that reinstalling this way will set all settings to default, correct?

Yup.

2. Usually I download updates, which appear to be the full program, not just the update. Am I correct in assuming that if I download the latest version of Opus 9, and then install it, it will then accept my registration ID et al, and all will be well?

Yup. There are no update installers, only standalone, full installers which you can install over an old version or on to a fresh machine.

So long as your licence is valid for version 9.x it will work with all 9.x installers.

3. There are check boxes in the restore settings window. Which of those settings choices includes the video "stuff" that I've been having problems with? If they are limited to just one of the groups, I could then restore all settings, except for that group, which would save me some time in recreating all my customizations.

It sounds like you've changed things in a few different places so there probably isn't a single checkbox which covers just the video-related preferences.

If you do want to reset just some preferences then you can do what I said earlier in the thread: For Opus's own Preferences each page can be reset using the File menu. For plugin Preferences you can either use the Defaults button in the plugin's config window (e.g. in the case of the ActiveX plugin) or delete the plugin's config file from /dopusdata/ConfigFiles/Plugins and restart Opus (e.g. in the case of the Movie plugin which doesn't have a Defaults button).
