Windows file missing when rebooted

[jdavia]

I have the latest version of KHP and use it to create Karaoke songs and save them as CDG's. I then import them to Hoster as KMA's with sucess.

However, I had a problem in Hoster with the last song I created with KHP and saved as a CDG file and then renamed it with the fields required by Hoster to import it. It did import in Hoster but it closed Hoster on several tries. Finally it was imported without closing Hoster.

I saw an error message something like "a file couldn't be found or was corrupt."

I shut the computer down and later turned it on again but was given a notice that it could't find a Windows file irprops.cpl. I had to reload Windows to replace the file. It is back to normal again.

I haven't installed any other program, or used any other programs that are in the computer prior to that. I can't determine the cause, Just letting you know what happened. If it happens again I will make another report.

I have imported CDG's with MicroStudio from CD's before I installed Hoster. The .KPR project files I created in KHP were "Saved As" .CDG files, which created the final karaoke song (.cdg) file on the hard drive. I then imported them into Hoster using Import HD Files screen.

But the technical talk is really not the issue. The crash is. I'm cool and will not post on this issue anymore.

Wasn't trying to be argumentative. Many customers look to these forums for information, and for their sake the details should be correct.

I moved this Thread to the Hoster Help Forum, changed the title, and edited the posts to reflect what I perceive was done.

The fact you shut down your computer, then later powered it up and a file was missing can be wrongly assumed that Hoster (or any application program from any vendor) deleted the missing file.

Actually, we have heard that shutting down Windows can cause this.

I personally believe that with all the updates that Windows does now, if you don't reboot after installing Windows Updates, you can loose files in the process.

You were correct to install your Windows CD and re-install it to fix the missing file. At least Microsoft has this means to "fix" deleted files working correctly!

Thanks for both of you posting.

There is no way that any of our software could have affected this file.

If you do a search in Google you will get these Search Results on the File

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...props%2Ecpl%22

The file is for Infra red or Bluetooth. Here is what I copied and pasted from one of the links that came up in Google.

Plenty about it on Google. Its apparently to do with one of the windows updates. It is associated with the IR (Infra Red) or Bluetooth drivers, and the .cpl means its to do with the control panel applet.

One suggestion was to edit the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
right click on BluetoothAuthenticationAgent in right pane and select delete
(ignore any extra space put in by the forum software in "Run")

Your own risk, but read up on the problems others are having, there may be other solutions.

Thanks Bryan. I previously looked up the file name and found simular results. I couldn't open the link you posted.
It was an extra space I added in the renaming of the file name for the song because I wasn't sure if the space was needed or not between the one of the fields needed to inport it.
It went through the whole process of importing it but then shut down Hoster on two trys, until I renamed the file right.
I didn't know there was a problem until I started the computer again.
But I got it back working by instaling the damaged or missing file with windows the recovery disk.
A funny thing to happen when the irprops.cpl file is for loading a infared icon in the control panel. And it is there just in case you want to load an infared device.
I also read that you can use "msconfig irprops.cpl" to open restore and go back to that point in time.
Thanks again Bryan
