[QUOTE="omayhemo, post: 720010, member: 97047"] Hardy har... The point of your statement is not lost on me with regard to open source etc. But let's be clear, losing a Saturday unexpectedly because I apply a windows 7 service pack is a worthy complaint. I read a statement from the developer researching the problem. He knows how to get around it but is remiss to apply the solution. This puzzles me. Forcing a reboot prior to installation is a trivial thing compared to a completely failed and horked installation. In the end the solution I applied the first time this occured to me did not work this time. I was forced to restore pre-service pack. If a solution is not soon found I (and I imagine many less vocal users) will have no choice but to dump MP in order to apply the windows service pack, starting from a fresh install is simply not on my agenda at this point as I've done that dozens of times to this point. Thus the comment of losing confidence. As much as you may be thinking good ridance to complainers, losing users is never a good thing for a community supported entirely by the users.
