[QUOTE="JDWestoby, post: 347689, member: 72093"] [b]ort of OK now...[/b] Thank you all for the help. I didn't >think< I'd put any extra plugins in, but couldn't put hand on heart and swear to it, however. Just totally deinstalled MP/TVServer, ran CCleaner, Defraggler and then installed... (dramatic pause) VERSION 1! This still whinged abut Vista (that's OK, I do too), but did a client install OK. Starting MP brought up config (same complaint) but froze on quit (so I killed it - evil ain't I). But this seemed to be all that was needed, MP now comes up OK. I've now got a plugin for HomeSeer that does everything EXCEPT actually talk to HomeSeer!!! (OK, you may think that's useless, but it's several hours work.) In fact once I can either - a) get some info from HomeSeer or b) work out the protocol by TCP sniffing, then we'll have a working plugin, I'll put it into MP then. I desperately need this - my long suffering wife is even letting me X10 the boiler!!! (It is SUCH a pain when we have power cuts.) Anyway it is such a toy :D I'll be putting MP Verison 1 onto the XP box sometime soon, on current showing it is definitely 'fit for purpose', our old TiVo has been sitting in the cupboard for months now. Excellent work to all of you. [/QUOTE]
