But there is a random chance of the application during video playback to be unresponding after system standby mode. The application would have to be terminated before restarting. If this is undesirable, please disable the system standby mode during video playback. * //Dani// * [log in to unmask] _ * * _ PCBUILD maintains many useful files for download on our web site - visit our download page at: http://nospin.com/pc/files.html
