Party mode messes up system

Post by Marquis »

When in party mode, the "minimize player" is still available in the "controller bar" (dunno how its called... the place where you have the controller buttons PLAY, PAUSE, etc).

When I click that, it allows users to see the desktop or any open window and by-passing MM's party mode security.
When I click on the desktop, MM dissapears and windows is left in an unusable state (No task manager, no taskbar, no windows menu...) only way for me is to force-reboot.

Once I reboot, some Windows features are still in modified state. (ie: No more task manager). I've even tracked down registry settings but still can't get TaskManager to be available after reboot. (And I'm sure there are a few other features that aren't reset, just haven't seen them yet)

Is it only me, or can anyone else confirm this? Can you guys publish a fix or registry "restore". This is a clean system, restore points haven't been set yet, and I really hope I don't have to re-install windows...

Help!:~

Thanks.

PS. Running XP SP3 with all latest hotfixes. MM v.3.0.1.1256, Mediaplayer skin

http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=5897 was supposed to have fixed this... but it hasn't.

See a screen shot of the culprit here: http://img25.imageshack.us/i/mmbug.png/

Now... can anyone tell me what registries are affected to restore the task manager?

Thanks

Thanks
Build 1257 isn't released yet, so there isn't any way that you could know that the fix didn't fix the problem!
