[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1260563, member: 141969"] In the era of "the Registry", one can never be quite sure whether uninstalling an application will return the system to the condition that it was in before the application was installed. Registry keys often seem to remain, and who knows whether they will have an adverse effect on a subsequent re-install. o_O My custom is to create a drive image of the OS immediately after a fresh install of the OS, but [I]before[/I] any applications are installed. This gives me a clean OS image that I can restore to a spare partition so that I can perform a [I]genuinely[/I] fresh install of MP and its associated software. This sounds familiar. I think that one or more corrupt entries in the "Task Scheduler" can have this effect. Check the entries in "Task Scheduler" and delete any relating to MP (and maybe any others that don't look right). Was this a standby initiated by you (e.g. pressing the POWER button on the remote), or did the system do it all by itself? A user-initiated sleep should not do this, but a user-initiated hibernation or a user-initiated shutdown will terminate recordings that are in progress. Has the power plan changed, or the meaning of the POWER button on the remote changed? -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
