Disappearing Plugins?

[austinwhite]

I've been unable to get MVP trayicon to work for a while. Now I've installed the latest version of Searchwiz, and that has also disappeared from the list of available plugins. There are sone errors in the log which make no sense to me. This seems to be the relevant part:

Can someone help?

Thanks,

For the MVP-Tray-icon to work you might have to enable the "interact with desktop" setting. You can find that in the windows-services screen, in the gbpvrrecordingservice properties.

[austinwhite]

Thanks HtV - but I've already tried that, no luck unfortunately

My first suggestion would be to check you have the latest version of JavaWiz's helper dlls from here: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...izDLLs.zip

[austinwhite]

Thanks McBain. But, I've also already done that (posting was a last resort, I normally find the answers I need with a bit of searching!). And, just to be sure, I just repeated the exercise. Still no joy.....

[JavaWiz]

You have two versions of WizUiHelper.DLL, and when loading, the system is finding the old version first.

Try running WizDLLInfoHelper found here, to locate the one NOT in plugins/common. Remove the offending DLL and you should be in business.


That should fix you SearchWiz problem at least, not sure about the MVP Tray exeception.

[austinwhite]

That's great, got it now

I have the same problem with MVP Plugin

Maybe its Vista related?

[Fatman_do]

Did you try the above suggestion by JavaWiz?? That is assuming the rest of the error log has the same warnings.

I have the same problem with MVP Plugin

....

Maybe its Vista related?

Can you zip and post your full logs, I'll check if the WizDLLs are causing a problem.
