Seem to get random error messages on startup.....

hi
I have set up shortcuts in the Startup folder which point towards the appropriate profiles (e.g. "hammerfall to yoke 1" and "sw1000 to yoke 1").
I get a message saying something like "Driver didn't close correctly last time. Do you want to try again ?"
If I click OK then everything continues as normal.
This error doesn't seem to happen everytime.
I am not aware of a problem with driver closing in the previous shutdown prior to this message.
Any ideas ?
cheers

That message is part of the MIDI-OX fail-safe mechanism. It logs driver opens as it connects them to a log file named _MOXBOOT.TXT in the application directory. You can use this file to determine which driver failed. It also sets a registry flag for each MIDI-OX instance (Profile1, Profile2, ...) named LastOpenFailed prior to opening each driver and clears the flag upon a successful return.
On a subsequent session, if it finds LastOpenFailed set, it assumes MIDI-OX has crashed or hung while trying to open the device, and then displays the message, rather than trying to open it again. This prevents never being able to run MIDI-OX again because of a bad driver.
I suppose you could always force a MIDI-OX launch by forcibly resetting that flag on each instance with a .REG file before launching.
