[QUOTE="Ciruz, post: 183962, member: 54130"] This is just a quick update & maybe a small cry for a little help with the project. Ive read around the forums and found out some information about making MP a shell replacement. It seems pretty simple, make the MP .exe the default shell through registry. I gave this a go and found the annoying error message "MP directx cannot render blah blah" which was quickly solved by reinstalling dx9c. So everything loads perfectly. Its a slick, smooth, quick boot straight into MP. One problem thou... I have a program running called HotKeyP which maps a few windows commands to my joypads. If you replace the shell in the registry with MP then all programs that startup with the shell no longer do :( A little more research at trying to start HotKeyP as a service (which still do load on boot without the shell) led me to a dead end. It can be done but with other apps just not with HotKeyP. Has anyone else had experience at doing this ? How did you get along? Thanks People! Mark [/QUOTE]
