Hello everyone!


I know that PT2008 have regretly some bugs still, but not everything is caused by this program.


Some time ago, I was unpleasantly surprised by the fact that suddenly my stored TV-programs wouldn´t start and weren´t captured on the HD. Later on it turned out to be the bug where the startupmanager didn´t function properly. After Tullik´s work he found the solution for this problem (thanx again!).


Yesterday, I had the same problem! Not again, I thought. : But the entry in the register HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Parameters wasn´t there. So this could not be the cause. Further I read about another bug relating to the startupmanager by user zinoswink. But that also turned out not to be the case here.


To make this story somewhat shorter, I suspected that Hauppauge´s scheduler entries could be crippled somehow.

So I reinstalled the program again and then saw that Spybot´s SDresident had changed an entry in the register!

And that did the trick! Everything is functioning fine now....


What I would like to say is that some bugs are related to PT2008 by some users, although the cause lies somewhere else.


But....... I agree with the fact that PT2008 has some bugs which should be solved before JV can think about the 2009 version. I know that such a program like PT2008 can cause much harm to the system if used incorrectly, so before using it I always use ERUNT to save everything in case that........ I wish JV all the best to solve the bugs in the near future!


Kind regards,

Very true. Since our minds are subject to the "Law of Recency," it is easy to draw an incorrect conclusion about the source of a problem. Often, additional understanding of the likely real cause requires some more detailed analysis and study.


Even when there is a PT bug, sometimes discovering its actual impact and cause also requires some more detailed analysis and study. The reference below is a case in point:
