   Thanks Steve,   
      
   I had a break in the  2nd timer event that was not being hit but I will do   
   the visual test. and run it as an EXE   
      
   The out of process component is media player and the audio is playing   
   without a hiccup however your suggestion my be correct it that its not   
   returning it's position because there is no processor time.   
      
   All the best
