Probably the wrong SkimSrv.ini file was changed, or Aggregator is using a
different one than the that one that was edited.  Look in:

%appdata%\Afreet\Products\SkimSrv\SkimSrv.ini


and compare it to the one edited, and to the one specified by Aggregator
under the .ini files tab.  %appdata% will automatically expand to

C:\Users\*yourWindowsID*\AppData\Roaming


when used in a File | Open dialog or CD command.  If everything looks OK,
send us a copy of your SkimSrv.ini file so we can have a look.

Second question...  I also have the Elad FDM-S2 rx, using the same software

First, open a command prompt with Administrator Privileges (right click on
the Comand Prompt icon, then select *Run as adminstrator*).  Next, copy the
ExtIO DLL supplied with the Elad into your SkimSrv installation directory,
usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Afree\SkimSrv\ .

Exit and restart SkimSrv and the Elad should be listed..
