[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1095796, member: 141969"] At the moment I am still using the default values for most of the settings that have defaults. So 10 EPG lines and 18pt font are the defaults (either from aMPed or from MP itself -- I am not sure where they originate). It is interesting that you raise that point. I always set the system font size to 125% of normal, to make text easier to read. However, the MP config utilities then become difficult to use -- text overlaps on various panels, and on some panels the OK and CANCEL buttons are positioned off the bottom of the screen (even when the panels are maximised to fit the screen exactly). The calculation to position the OK and CANCEL buttons evidently does not take into account fonts larger than normal (I realise that this is not your area!). Anyway, because of this I reset the system font size to 100%. I [i]think[/i] that I did this before installing MP 1.8.0 and aMPed, but now I cannot be sure. Font size was definitely 100% when the APPCRASH occurred. Yes, as I mentioned, I entered and exited MP several times after the APPCRASH, but MP did not crash again. The only difference that occurs to me is that I had scrolled around the radio EPG a lot, finding quite a few examples where the text overlapped on the bottom line. But this is all a bit vague (I recognise the importance of a test case that always triggers the error). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
