Dear Streamripper.

Nope, it's not minimising, it's definitely winking out of existence! I made sure the 'Keep Window on top' button was checked and the 'Minimise to Tray' button wasn't.

When I launched the program, I left it a few minutes to see if it stayed around. Which it did. Then I clicked on 'Record', went to Veoh, chose a short video at random (think it was a Bulgarian pop song, actually!) and the program vanished. I did a CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up the window that shows a list of all the programs that are running and it wasn't listed in either the PROCESSES or the APPLICATIONS lists.

So where the heck's it going to? And why? I've never had a program this unstable before - or rather, this predictably unstable. It will last until you hit the Webpage you want to record from. Then it'll vanish. Every time. Without fail. Which slightly makes it a tad pointless - a recording program that vanishes whenever you want it to record anything!

Do I try a fourth reinstallation, or just give up on it as a bad job?

Yours puzzledly,

Christopher Burke.
