I think I'm losing my mind..
SFP 3.1 used to start up automatically and now I had to reïnstall SFP and now it doens't show up at start up as it used to. When I start up SFP nothing shows up. Not on my taskbar and not next to my windowsclock. When I try to start it again it says "Please close all Creamware app before starting Scope.." When I pres control+alt+del I can see SFP is active but I can't acces it.. Please help me out! I really searched hard on this forum and didn't find anyone with the same problem so I really hope someone can help me out!! THANX!

Hmm no this isn't the case here. When I force it to end and restart it. It does restart but I can't acces it anywhere because there Is no icon I can click on. But I know SFP is active because I can see the drivers are active (configurationscreen, mulitmedia, audio)
Anyone???? I'm really really desperate!!!

Yes - I also had this problem with Windows XP for a while. If the service pack doesn't help, try contacting Microsoft support using the interactive online support request - they were able to help me restore my taskbar so that it would load correctly. I had to go through a pretty lenghty diagnosis though - clicking off certain services that run in the background until I found what was causing the taskbar to load incorrectly (don't remember what it was unfortunately, wish I would have saved the support report).
Creamware should consider changing this in the next version so that you can access SFP without the taskbar. I really don't like having only one place to open things up from - especially something that seems to have bugs in Windows XP (although, hopefully Microsoft has corrected the problem for good with their service pack).

Honestly, I am not sure how the taskbar works with 98 anymore. My instructions were for Windows XP (thought it might be similar, but I guess not).
You may want to consider an updgrade to XP if all else fails. For me, it has been more stable than any other operating system I have worked with. Most likely, you would just need the Home addition - and updgrade prices are not that bad (the only things the Pro version adds are more complex networking capabilities - and the remote desktop ability).
