I have DSplayer set as default player. Is that what you mean? I won't be home for a couple of hours so I can't post logs atm.

No. What I meant was if Ctrl+J didn't brought up madvr onscreen information, you are most likely not running DSPlayer regardless of what your settings was. It probably revert back to DVDPlayer. That's why I told you to make sure it's the case before messing around more. If it use DVDPlayer instead it explained why madvr tray icon didn't show up during playback as well.

I will check when I get home. How would it default to DVDPlayer? Strange.

It also crashed my compile almost 3 hrs down the drain

Oh man that blows.
