Thank you, kiwijunglist, Yes, I had already turned "Use alternative fullscreen Splashscreen..." off, so that I see this splash screen / little window (that I do not want to see) while MP starts. Thanks for the screen shot.

Oh really? You see that as me complaining? :rolleyes: I was just giving my opinion on the matter since I never got it to work myself. And I never felt the need to open a thread about it because it's not something that I would've used too often anyway.

OK, I did, seems to do a bit more faltering no: Sorry, I do not know, what that means: Ofter after switching to another program I cannot go back to MP, I do not have access anymore, I then just can close by using the Task Manager.

Thank you, Lichloathe. That's a good way either. So, you have to press the key according to the skips you have set, e.g. first skip back 2 seconds, then 5, 15 and so on, pressing the arrow key 3 times in pause mode means you start playing 15 seconds backs. Thanks again.
