I've just upgraded from MP 1.7 to 1.10 (on Windows 7), and am finding that the MP TV Config app keeps opening without any action on my part. Has anyone else noticed this?

    This is the standard behavior: you must go through the config once for the initial configuration to be written to the startup files.

    No software is opening on its own ;).

    MediaPortal contains no automated call of the Config. What do you mean by "MP TV Config app"? The TVServer Configuration?

    Good point. The specific circumstances are when I have MP running, then use alt-tab to switch back to the Windows desktop (e.g. to open a web browser or another application). Within a few seconds of switching to the Desktop the MP TV-Server Configuration application opens.
    I've run the TV configuration several times since the upgrade - scanned for TV and radio channels, defined TV channel mappings, configured XMLTV and mapped guide channels to tuner channels, so I don't understand why the TV config app continues to open without prompting when I use alt-tab to switch to the desktop.
    ???

    Hhm, have never experienced anything similar thus far.

    I think that we agree that Alt-Tab should do nothing else than switching between the currently running processes. The situation might be different if you press Alt-Tab from within a fullscreen MediaPortal session. In this case any possibly pre-defined shortcut would be interpreted by MePo itself. YOu may want to check oput any Keyboard shortcut that is defined within MePo.

    No other idea though.
