Hi !

Reading this thread I´m getting a little confused, for "my" version of the
program CM7K is really an English one (I mean all the menues etc. are in the
English language), combined with a German manual and a third booklet,containing
all relevant translations of English terms into German. Since I haven´t found
any MPlayer support yet, do I in fact possess a UK version of the program code
combined with a German manual? If this is so, then the upcoming UK-patch should
also solve my problems with the program recently described by Jari A. Turunen...

Regards,

Lars Nonnenberg
