jeffl Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I was hoping you would chime in. You're the only person I know who has made this happen in Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba in NV Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Thanks Jeffi, and Mountainwxman...Jeffi, one of the downloads I installed is the same version and date as the one I downloaded from you. BUT, yours runs fine, the DTMH works fine... but the other one I downloaded had no DTMH option and would crash...Strange. Your file worked and the one I downloaded from the Zara web site did not...Actually I create my sequences on a Win 7 machine but my show runs on a Win2000 machine.AND the tutorial here is a HAVE TO SEE not a must see...http://lightoramasequences.com/content/view/59/82/Thanks again..... I knew my computer could run that crazy thing... Just for grins I installed the 1.6.2 I downloaded from Zara radio on my Win2000 machine it would not run on it either. But the one I downloaded from Jeffi did run... I did download it several time from Zara Radio and none would run right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 There are two 1.6.2 versions. Zara took out the DTMF tones, logging and I think added Windows 7 support. The problem is they called it version 1.6.2.The key is having the old 1.6.2 which is what you got to work and the one you want to keep in a safe place for the future because you can't download it anymore.

Bubba in NV Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I will get the DTMF initials right one of these days...Anyway... thanks again.... the start stop tones work fine.... only problem on the Win7 machine (external usb Creative sound card) is when the tone starts Zara again I have to tick the sound icon to get the Zara sound going again. Also when Zara Radio is running it calls itself untitled...Anyway... got something to work with now.For me the 200 bucks part for the new full blown software is out of the question right now... or at least for a year or so... I need more controllers first...:?I may be small, but a lot of people come down my street every night and sit for at least 30 minutes or so, Live in a culdesack and I am the end house with no houses next to me. We have no local radio station reception here, and cannot receive any radio here. (except XM types) TV only by satellite too. My FM broadcast covers almost all of our town and I have a new jpole antenna on its way to extend me to about 4 mile radius to cover all of town. Lots of support from neighbors, and the community and local government.Almost have my coldest neighbors talked into getting controllers and wireless connections to add them to my show. I told them if they get the controllers I would get the wireless equipment.Next closest anything from here is 180 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffl Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The untitled is the play list. You can "Save As" to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba in NV Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 All I can say is.... with all of you guys information and help I have gone from giving up on radio and only having the light show to having a 24/7 show/radio available starting tonight, and the newspaper will be here tonight and I can let them know about the 24/7 radio and all the help you get from the LOR community when things just don/t go as expected...Thanks again...

Wayne K Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I gave up also on making the tones work with Win 7. But I used the start and stop timer in zara radio and after playing around with the times have it working good in my display and also have no tones being transmitted over the air wave. I am also using the time announcement funtion in Zara. I had to stop the music like 4-5 seconds before my start time in order to get the exact time for my start timeWayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba in NV Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Where I live... Tonopah Nevada the only radio you can receive is one public radio station..ugh.... NO TV, NO CABLE, only Satellite radio/TV. We didn't even have internet service until 4 years ago after we started to take the local phone company to court to get it. Now we only use them for DSL service and everyone uses cell phone becaue its cheaper. We had the same problem with a cable company that got too expensive. We (the locals) went to satellite and they went belly up.In other words I live WWOD.... way way out dare....Over 100 miles to the next anything...I have ordered a jpole antenna for my Ramsey transmitter. I get about 1 1/2 mile radius now, but with it I should get at least 3 miles and that would cover all of town. The people that can get my signal listen to it at home as well and I have been asked for a couple years now to play my light show songs and other Christmas music 24/7 in December.Now I can... :dude: This is going to be the highlight of my year..I also have a singing pumpkin Halloween show that runs 3 weeks. I am trying to get ideas for a 4th of July show... but..... other than having a lighted flag with several channels, I cant think of anything else to go with it.OK I will go away now...

Lee Lunday Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I know the thread is old but it still has some useful info. However since the web site lightoramasequences.com is no longer around and the data is now at ultrashows. I was wondering if anyone knows if it was transfered over. I did some searches but found nothing.Thanks for the help.Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
