I did, I deleted the app, removed the cisco folder in Local, removed the cisco folder in Locallow, removed the sky go folder in roamng (noted that I didn't have a sky folder), emptied the trash can, ran ccleaner to tidy up the registry, restarted the PC and then reinstalled the app. And it changed nothing.
Ho hum.
No other media player I have (iTunes, WMP, Plex server, Plex media player, VLC) have any problems like this, so its not like there is something in the background sending fastforward inputs all the time. The desktop app doesn't even have a fast forward function, so I just dont know why there would be the facility to run in fast forward at all.
Oh well, thank you for answering.
