Music Library 3.11 strange behaviour?

[pz1]

This morning I installed the infamous monthly MS security patches. After the reboot my GBPVR 97.13 spontaneously reinstalled. Next I fired up Music Library 2 for listening to a random selection (Red button) of my music. It then appeared that the player did not start. I browsed through my logs but did not find anything alarming, except for the following lines in the config.exe.log.

Code:

It was only after the third reboot of the system that I could play my music again. However the nasty error codes remain in the log of the configurator.

Everything seems working fine again, so must I worry about these errors?

If you don't use the ML2Panel, you could get rid of it.

Is this in the gbpvr.exe.log?? I've only seen these types of messages when running the config.exe.

Ahh, ok - that's good. Its annoying I know, but it works in gbpvr. The panel can be used for a screen saver, it just shows the currently playing song and album art is ther is some.
