Hey everybody,
Quick question. I've been browsing now for a few days and I can't seem to locate what I'm looking for. It may not actually exist. I recently purchased a couple LEDWiz's and got them fired up. However, I was looking for a software/program that would allow me to pulse them to the music thats playing. I understand that the LEDBlinky supports this to an extent but I have had mixed results so far.
I have also looked into LuminAudio and for whatever reason, I can not get the program to run. I'm currently running Windows 7 64-bit and when I attempted to run it, error about MSCOMCTL.OPX (i believe). Replaced the file and now I only get the standard windows error stating the program failed to launch. It then asks me to check online for a solution. I attempted running it as administrator, as well as, in compatibility mode. Unsuccessful.
If there is something else out there, I'd love to give it a try. If not, then I will continue to tweak LEDBlinky and see if it can work better for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

It's mscomctrl.ocx this is a standard windows file used to make things like dialog boxes.
What version of windows are you running? Sure hope it isn't one of those lame, stripped down versions, because you are going to keep running into little anoyances like this.
You need with the vb6 runtime files or the vc++6 runtime files most likely. Actually, if you hadn't monkeyed with the original mscomctrl.ocx it probably would have worked. Without a proper runtime install that file has to be registered. So put the original back and:
Open a command prompt and navigate to the folder where mscomctrl.ocx is.
type: regsvr32 mscomctrl.ocx
Done.

Only tangentially related, but you can pick up LED controllers online that have a mic in them that can be set to pulse with specific animations as well as to music.
Something like this

It's a different thing, but might be handy depending on the project you're working on.

Thanks guys. I dropped the ball on this one. Howard_Castro hit it on the head.
I had copied the correct file to its location but forgot to register the file. Whoops. My bad.
Things are working much better now. And Dr.Venture, thank you as well for your information.
Have a great day guys. I appreciate all the help.
