MQN
Re: MQN
You are probably on a sticky wicket if I am trying to help you but did you download a new mqn.bat file from the google drive?darkpink wrote:now mqn.bat dont work at all, window just flashes then terminates. quite frustrating when you know avx is just a bit better. just have to try some more then
Copy it into the mqn files you outlined above and edit the C: line as described above
What is your set up?

Re: MQN
Too late tonight for me to test but yours should definitely work I don't believe the asus board should be a problem.You have haswell unless 2012 is the prob. But if it played once that shouldn't be the issue unless you were mistaken it has happened to a lot of us.darkpink wrote:I have a HDplex i3 haswell, PPA-SSD, Asus B85m-g on WS2012 , just odd that it worked one time but not after reboot. Downloaded new mqn.bat from drive, how does the 3.14 avx sound?

3.14 avx is just great.darkpink wrote:I have a HDplex i3 haswell, PPA-SSD, Asus B85m-g on WS2012 , just odd that it worked one time but not after reboot. Downloaded new mqn.bat from drive, how does the 3.14 avx sound?
A bit, just a Tiny bit, more mellow than the previous avx which might make it better suited for some/many ;-)
Just an overview of my setup:
Standard Contents of my mqn-directory for avx or sse:
448-clockrate.bat
Files.txt
MQn.bat
MQn-aff.bat
param.txt
paste.exe
Into this I copy:
mqncontrol.exe (from the 2.97-zip)
mqnplay1644.exe 24 bit 3.14 avx.14 avx.14 avx
And rename the last one to
mqnplay1644.exe
Set the checkbox for "Run as Administrator" on the properties/compatibility tab for both mqncontrol.exe and mqnplay1644.exe and don't forget to save that setting.
Just hit mqn.bat

Hi DarkPinkdarkpink wrote:Thanks man, very helpful. Got avx working now on my desktopPC W8.1, just hade to check compabilitymode w8. Wouldn't work wtih admin box checked
It should run on 8.1 as well as I'm using that on my Office PC (2012R2 on my AudioPC).
I do remember I changed a setting in the security policy to avoid security elevation which intervened with running mqnplay.
If you do:
- Run
- Enter: secpol.msc
- go to Local Policies / Security Options
- find the entry called "User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode"
- set it to disabled (default value = Enabled)
The problem I noticed is that starting mqnplay.exe of an avx version somehow triggered User Account Control. Being run as a batch command there was no way to get user input for this and mqnplay crashes. In the Event Log this showed as "Application Error Event ID 1000" for mqnplay.exe with "Exception code: 0xc0000005". This Exception code indicates an autorisation error which was resolved by the change above to the security policy.
Could be worthwhile to check you Event Log and try the change to the security policy, because Win8.1 is better than Win8 and maybe you not using the full capabilities now.
The proof that AVX does run on Windows 8.1

Re: MQN
But....I think you need W8 Enterprise to be able to do this. I tried JC's workaround of setting EnableLUA to 0 which seemed ok at first but then MQn failed to run until I set it to 1.Aleg wrote:darkpink wrote: I do remember I changed a setting in the security policy to avoid security elevation which intervened with running mqnplay.

I use Windows 8.1 Pro and not Enterprise.
I have posted a picture above to prove it can be done.
