Hi Mherger,

Once again, thanks for your persistent help

I hope you don't get too frustrated with my lack of skills here, but I
simply don't follow. I'm not sure where this log should appear as I
don't get a prompt or see any field which suggests a location.

Although, I suspect it won't help.

There is something really really bizarre going on here. Let me
explain.

First of all, it doesn't stop at any particular folder. I have all my
music stored in one general folder called "h:\music"

Within that folder are 576 separate sub folders. Each one contains a
single artist.

In other words, "h:\music\coldplay" or "h:\music\led zeppelin" etc.

Now, normally the search is set to look in "h:\music", essentially the
root of my music files. In the past, this worked perfectly, then all of
a sudden, when trying a new nightly release, these problems arose.

Now, although it doesn't find all my songs, it doesn't seem to stop
anywhere in particular. It has songs from folders everywhere from A
through to Z, it just misses a load throughout.

In fact, I don't think it even cares where it looks. Let's put it this
way, and I think this is the core of the problem.

If I set the music folder to search to be "h:\music\snow patrol", we
should assume, it will only look in that folder which has music from
the band "snow patrol". (61 songs in total). No other bands are in the
snow patrol folder.

However, it finds 480 songs, from 135 artists - none of which are
actually snow patrol, and none of the mp3's reside in the folder it was
supposed to search.

This is the real problem. I mean, why would it find a song like this
example below, when it was set to look in this folder for new songs:
h:\music\snow patrol (the song it found below is stored in
H:\MUSIC\Cold Play)

Maybe, somehow there is a registry setting that got corrupted, and when
I uninstall slimserver, to reinstall again, it doesn't fix this. Is
there a forced uninstaller that clears every slimserver registry
setting away?

There has to be something really odd here, for it to look into a
totally different folder than where it was told to look.
