I created the two files you mentioned - "juliet-of-the-spirits-tcm.mpg" scraped as steamboat jim. "clambake-tcm.mpg" was not found and a blank nfo was created.
I tried changing the names, removing one element at a time. Even with just clambake.mpg and juliet-of-the-spirits.mpg I still get errors. I removed them from the drive where they were to a different drive, from f:\movies to g:\movies, and that did not matter either. I installed 3.032 and somewhere along the line I could not even force MC to find the movies. If I created a .nfo file for each and try to "Change Movie" to force a re-scrape, I get the old reliable error message, which I have cut and pasted to a text file. I have included farther down in this post. I really do not understand it. At one time I was good enough at C to port 40-100,000 line 32-bit UNIX programs to 16-bit Xenix and MS-DOS, but the only object-oriented language I have any ability in is PROLOG, and all these Windows libs are blackboxes that I do not understand.

When I did a bunch of Change Movies on movies that had been miscraped by 3.031 or 3.032, using 3.032, I had the movie list in filename mode, and when I edited the nfo files, the name of the movie displayed in the panel changed to "movies". At one time I had several movies displaying as filename "movies". In C I would suspect a structure reference error in the panel display routines, like you were referring to a structure with 1 degree too-little or too-much indirection (I am really fuzzy on C structures), getting a value of the name of the structure rather than the element you want.
Quote:The "clambake-tcm.nfo" was created and was listed, although I did notice that the sort by creation date order on newly scraped nfo's was wrong, clambake-tcm was located further down my list.
As I said above, I cannot even get it to create an empty .nfo file. Is that a config option? I have created my own movie-skeleton.nfo
Quote:What exactly did you mean by "MC crashed in the way that it usually does for me when it does crash.", MC should never crash, it is vital that these issues are reported, what is the error message.
As I say above, I have collected the e-message in a text file.
Here is from that file I have:
I cannot cut the text in the top of the dialog box, but it says "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application.... An error occurred while parsing EntityName. Line 1."
Here is the error message:

When I pressed the "Continue" button I was taken back to the MC Edit screen, but the Title field had been cleared. If I select the rightmost button which I think is labeled "Quit" the program exits.

As for the resolution, MC displays fine at 1024x768. This is an issue that has been raised before and not just for that resolution, it is an error with .net that does not scale things properly when other than default DPI is used within windows, there is nothing I can do about it. If you are using vista the option is located in the personalize screen in the left hand pain.
I am on WinXP SP2. I cannot upgrade to SP3 because I do not have a good restore point. I only use the Win PC for video stuff and do all my other computing on Linux.
