[QUOTE="TechLife, post: 417291, member: 81810"] That is too funny. Can't keep everyone happy no matter what you do LOL. IMO just doesn't flow as well when the buttons are changed up. I've watched ppl in my house try to use it and ask "Why isn't the movie starting?". I explain that you have to actually press play and hear "But I press ok on everything else..." I honestly don't care either way & I think after you know you barely notice anymore. I do. That has in fact changed in the last couple days (in between using v.48 and v.50). I was experimenting with the behavior of the windows screen saver. I turned off always on top and now when pressing stop, I return to the menu but the taskbar is focused. I thus far have not found a way from the remote/keyboard/mouse to return MP to focus and actually have it respond. Pulling up task manager shows MP as "Not Responding" so again I have to crash it and restart. EDIT: Per Ixian's suggestion, I tried deleting the .50 remote files first then copying the .48 remote files. This worked fine. Drops right back to MP and I have full control. I happened to think at this point that when I installed .50 I didn't delete any files first. Just dragged the directories and allowed them to merge/replace as the instructions imply (if I read them correctly LOL). So for kicks, I tried deleting the .48 remote files and recopying the .50 remote files. Yeah, sure enough, it works fine. :D Please note: I DO know better than to just copy over, but I try to play the dumb user when testing things to try to simulate what the majority of users would do and encounter the problems they would. Now, since I was this deep into it anyway, I tried setting MP back to always on top. This no longer caused the issue either. Returned right back to the menu as it should. If there is a bug with always on top, it doesn't seem to affect me. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
