[QUOTE="Floorhor, post: 1147421, member: 153765"] Speaking of restarting curing ills, have you seen The IT Crowd on NetFlix? It'll kill you! Love the 'Friendface' episode. "The Work Outing' is one of the funniest shows I've seen. Anyway, here's what the dialog box should say in addition to the existing statement: [LIST=1] [*]Click 'OK' on this box. [*]Choose 'Manual Control' in the "Whatever is a meaningful name to non-programmers' menu. [*]Click on the 'Stop Service' button. [*]The button will change to 'Start Service', indicating the service was successfully stopped. [*]Click on the 'Start Service' button. [*]The button will change to 'Stop Service', indicating the service was successfully started. [/LIST] It's little things like this that can make the experience so much better...and easier for you guys! I've already run into a dozen of these little things that left me guessing the next step and deciphering insider speak or wading through dozens of posts, written by insiders who assume the customer knows a lot more than the customer knows. You don't want a housewife, accountant, or mechanical engineer guessing next steps! To wit, if WMC is so want to conflict, it would seem that running a check on this every time MP or one of the configuration programs starts would be a very wise and customer friendly thing to do, not to mention less time dealing with idiots like me. Then the non-insider can choose to disable WMC, dismiss the box, and/or check never to show box again, so at least he knows (without significant amounts of research time) that when strange things start happening, maybe disabling WMC will do the trick. The 'Do not ask again' option may be troublesome because clicking that option on the pop up where Standard or Expert mode is chosen when starting MP Configuration doesn't seem to keep it from popping up every time. Maybe it's not possible to make that happen which begs the question why have it there in the first place. Seein's how I'm not a programmer, I don't know. I'll just guess! If MP continues to cut my recordings short, I will be glad to get a log to you. Please indicate a method for doing this. I know the mechanics of generating the log (if only by the luck of noticing the 'MP Watchdog' title on one of the dialog boxes in the blog and recalling seeing a shortcut to it on my desktop, and guessing this is what I should run), I just wouldn't know how to generate one that would be significant to this issue. Does this make sense? When do I start the log? When do I end? What methodology would you employ in this situation? [/QUOTE]
