EAC w/ ext. compressor prob

Ok, I've been using EAC for a long time with no probs, usually using external lame.exe to encode to mp3.  Just went to encode today and all of a sudden, EAC rips ok but when it sends it to lame, the lame window pops up quickly displaying the lame help info etc?  Any idea what would cause this?  Its not a big deal, I'm probably just gonna reinstall it but I'd like to know why this happened?

Hi dreamliner,

maybe something with your additional commandline options under Compression options => External Compression is wrong (Lame is starting, but the parameters are incorrect).
The commandline should look like this:  "--alt-preset standard %s %d"    for example (without the quotation marks).

Hope this will help a little bit.
