• I can't manipulate the tiles of MP3 Files' title - it shows some error: how to solve it?

Generally this is solved by the App itself, try to run the app as Administrator if the problem persists.

Run as Administrator

You may need to register a DLL file if the above solution doesn't work for you. Register the DLL file which is required for MP3 files' manipulation as follows.

If you have registered the cddbcontrol.dll file earlier then check the file is it there in the registered path, or else register it again.

1. Get the file cddbcontrol.dll, size: 1028 KB from the FileMan application folder.
2. Place it in your PC somewhere suitable as per your choice (it's better to avoid the paths containing special characters or spaces). Or you can keep the file as it is in the application folder as well.
3. Go to Start -> Run -> type and execute, for e.g. regsvr32 C:\FileMan_TathyikaDotCom\cddbcontrol.dll (ensure a space between regsvr32 and the file path. Also run the 'Run' utility as Administrator in Windows 7/8)
4. Try the App again.
