[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1299821, member: 141969"] I also experience this from time to time. Because it is sporadic (and evidently not encountered by everyone), identifying and fixing the problem is going to be difficult. If this remnant of the MP client is still running when you next want to start the MP client, the START button on the remote control does nothing: the client does not start, and there is no pop-up error box. This annoyed me so much that I wrote an AutoHotKey script to trap the MCE START button, check for the MP remnant, terminate it if present, and then start the client. (The AutoHotKey script that I wrote for the Centarea HID already had this capability.) So these days I never see this problem, whichever remote control I am using (Microsoft MCE RC6 or Ortek VRC-1100). :) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
