[QUOTE="Infidelus, post: 891072, member: 24037"] Tried the WIP. No difference unfortunately. Are you sure there are changes in that file? It's the exact same file size as 6.1.2.[DOUBLEPOST=1344884955][/DOUBLEPOST] I still disagree with you stopping services, but if you're going to, you need to restart them as well after you've finished the (un)install. You can't just leave somebody's recorder in a non-functional state, and the user shouldn't have to sit there trying to work out why their recordings suddenly aren't working. Not everyone's an IT wiz and knows what a Windows Service is, or what it does, and most of them probably don't care either. All they want is their chosen application to function as it's supposed to. If people are using their MePo machines as PVRs/HTPCs, chances are they don't reboot them that often anyway, but instead put them in standby, which means the service is never going to restart by itself. By the time they realise MePo/FTR/whatever other recorder isn't working, they've already missed programs they wanted to record. [/QUOTE]
