    Don't turn it off! (use the standby function)
    Welcome to the forum :)

    The quickest way will be to get rid of the OS shell and use MP as the only app running - you'll need to google it to find out how to do it with Windows 7 though...
    You can do this with XP Pro (use the search on the forum tools - the info is here somewhere...)
    This will be a REALLY technical thing to do, mnake sure you are up for a challenge...

    Agree with SpudR. Use S3 or S4 suspend.

    Its a whole world of pain to get rid of W shell and comes with some PITA factors. Suspend is a lot easier.

    Or you could buy an ssd :)

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    Got a reply from SD ... "Looks like your last successful download was on 5/23. On 5/24 for some reason we received 194 connections between 10:54 and 11:05 triggering a denial of service attack ban. The logs show it was lifted on 5/25, but I still see the entry in iptables. I reset fail2ban and hopefully you're working again." Weird...
