Thanks for the reply. I cant access the help file because of an error i get "Cannot open the file: mk
MSITStore:C:\program files.... \SlimmGBPVRDoc.chm" (attached image).
my restart script now works when i disable "AutoRestartRecordingService".
My latest recording just failed this afternoon. i put the PC in standby before leaving for work this morning at 8:33am. then it automatically restarted and probably did not manage to completely run the devcon before SlimmGBPVR restarted the service. nothing was recorded this session until i restarted the service and ran my devcon script. here is part of the error log:

all this time the green tray button was flashing and it was telling me that it will be recording the next show in -23minutes (since it was stuck 23 minutes into that show without recording it...)
here is the log after service restart when recording continued for the last 7 minutes of the 6:30-7pm show:

i'll apply the changes with the reg file and i'll be monitoring it for the next few days then let you know if it works OK.
Thanks!
