Correction, the DOS console does appear on Windows 2000 and the hide and show log menu items don't work. --Rob -----Original Message----- From: Rob Hicks [mailto:rob.hicks@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 1:59 PM To: ecs@netbloc.com Subject: RE: [ecs] 2.3.19 released Mark, I archived my current setup of ECS, uninstalled ECS (from Control Panel), deleted c:\program files\ecs and reinstalled. I started ECS. The DOS console does not disappear and the "hide log" and "show log" menu items in the system tray have no effect. I'm running ECS on Windows 2K Server. For grins, I install ECS 2.3.19 on a Windows XP Professional box and a Windows 2003 Server box. It installed fine and the DOS console disappeared as expected. So, I would guess this is a problem with ECS on Windows 2000. Martin, are you running Windows 2000? --Rob -----Original Message----- From: Mark Gilmore [mailto:mark1@markgilmore.net] Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 1:45 PM To: ecs@netbloc.com Subject: RE: [ecs] 2.3.19 released I have tried twice to re-create this problem, but no can do. The console log is hidden when ECS starts, and the tray buttons work as expected. ???
