    DVRMSToolBox has died

    I had 1.2.1.2 working fine. I've had some problems with an Extender playing back, so I took off DVRMSToolBox and put on the latest version (after finding its just the stupid firmware update which has killed my Extender!). Now it won't skip commercial, the add-in errors and fails whenever I load VMC. I have tried a load of stuff from the forums but I'm getting nowhere.

     When I use the ToolBox to manually create a commericals file I get an error in serialize and it stops:

    InputFile=H:\recorded tv\The Guru_Channel 4+1_15_09_2008_02_34_04.dvr-ms
    Processing actions, this may take some time!!
    Run Profile = nativecommdetect
    ProcessId = 5180
    DvrmsToolbox Version: 1.2.1.4
    Throttle DVRMStoMPEG
    FWThrottle: H:\recorded tv\The Guru_Channel 4+1_15_09_2008_02_34_04.dvr-ms
    WaitTime: 2 PollTime
    Waiting to process file
    Queue file
    Duration = 00:00:01.0110000
    Waiting for available worker: 16/09/2008 18:34
    Worker allocated: 16/09/2008 18:34
    Get Video Information
    Error in Serialize.
    Action did not complete successfully
    Total Duration = 00:00:01.8920000

     And the add-in fails whenever I open VMC, so I checked the Event Viewer, and I get an info message:

    User: themccs

    CurrentAtscZoom = One

    AutoZoom = False
    ProcessProfile =
    TreatAsTv = True
    UseGraphForDetection = True
    ForwardOnly = True
    ProppageNag = True

    and then an error message:

    User: themccs
    Unable to launch. System.ArgumentException: The directory name C:\Users\Public\DvrmsToolbox\CommercialsXml is invalid.
       at System.IO.FileSystemWatcher..ctor(String path, String filter)

     Great program, been really pleased with it, and I want to get it working again - Help please!!!

    Thanks!
