Will check this. > 2) Squeezebox Server should not start up before it is configured.

Ok, now I see what could have happened: - you stopped SC - changed the startup mode _without_ saving - restarted SC - then hit Ok/Apply In this case what you describe could happen. I'll have to sanity check this, or disable the manual start as long as the startup change has not been saved. The reason you're seeing two instances is that we run SbS with the --install parameter to configure the Windows service. Normally it just does the installation, then exits. > 6) The long startup/save/shutdown wait times are back - takes about 1-2 > minutes to do any of these. Windows XP MCE sp3 While I consider it a bit on the slow side, I've never seen it take more than about 20 seconds, even on my 5yr old laptop (XP sp2). Looking at the task manager - do you see it busy or idling all this time? > 7) I'm figuring that the current SbS CP splash screen is temporary? Yes, definitely. Thanks for all that feedback!
