thanx for the input. i've tried that but unfortunately to no avail.
an 'NSIS' error comes up due to either an incomplete download, a failing disk, or possibly a virus in an installation file.
the error states that i could try to force the installation using the /NCRC command line switch (huh?!) but that it's not recommended.
i'd really like to use xolox again but it ain't looking good. does anyone know how i'd be able to access the list of songs i had queued so i could try another programme?
