Garyan2 when doing the new update do you have to start all over from scratch or does it keep all my settings when I run it?

Thanks,
Tom

Just need to run the installer. It will copy over the existing epg123 program files and leave the epg123.cfg file alone which contains all your settings.

Gary,
Are there any steps that need to be taken after updating from a previous version? Clear Cache then save and execute again etc.??
The reason I am asking is I have updated a couple times since my original installation. There have been some issues with my HTPC and Ceton InfiniTV6 loosing the tuners lately and I am getting recording conflicts when numerous other tuners should have been available and some recordings displaying the Weak TV Signal screen in WMC.

As a side note I have also been getting Kernel power errors lately in event viewer as well. I just started a ticket with Corsair to replace the PSU. I am not sure if the problems I am having are due to not updating EPG123 correctly step wise post update or if the Kernel Power and PSU are causing my current issues.
I don't mean to hijack the OP's thread but I thought I would ask in case there are certain steps I should be taking post updating EPG123.
Thanks,
newfiend~

Nothing special. Except for 1 instance of upgrading 1.0.2 and below to a 1.1.x version, all updates have only required copying over the existing .exe files. All cache, config, and xml file are backwards and forwards compatible.
