    Hi, I'm in trial mode now. And am facing problems with the program. I can run only once!!
    I mean when I test the program it works fine the first time. But when closing the test window and run the test again it freezes and CPU goes to 100%. The same thing happened in real alarm (not testing) where the program freeze after a short mp3 file finished playing. So, it seems that the software can't load more than one file. Or it needs more resources to do that!! I can provide more details if needed.

    thanks in advanced..

    I can't say I've heard of this happening before. Do you have any third-party Codecs installed? (Codecs are bits of software that let you play new media and music file formats.) Citrus requires Codecs to play the music for the alarm, but if a "sketchy" Codec has been downloaded (one that was either written poorly, or even has malicious, non-media-playing features that are just pretending to be a Codec), it can possibly negatively affect your system.

    Try running a trusted anti-spyware program and uninstalling any media Codecs that you're unsure about. Generally, for things like MP3 files, the Codecs that come with Windows are perfectly fine and no other ones will need to be downloaded in order for Citrus to work properly.

    I hope this helps.
