In case you never found a fix for this. I was having a similar problem until today. LaunchBox (not BigBox) would startup without any problems, but as soon as I clicked on any game it would close a few seconds later, with no error message. At least for me, the problem was coming from LaunchBox trying to play videos with FFMPEG. I switched "Options > General > Video Playback" to Windows Media Player and the crashes stopped immediately.

I have been working on a program that minimizes LaunchBox to the tray. But I can't figure out how to detect when the window is being closed to interrupt and hide it instead. I have LaunchBox hiding when clicking the close button but I have had to enter the exact dimensions and location of the close button and this can change depending on which theme is being used. I would also like the window to hide when closed from the menu or the desktop taskbar as well. If anyone knows how to accomplish this I would appreciate the help.

I have been wanting this feature ever since I bought it a few years ago. Every other game launcher has the ability to minimize to the system tray so they are already open, ready to go at a moments notice, and not taking up space on the task bar. I love using Launchbox, and and even though it doesn't take long to load, it would be nice if it was ready to use when I click on the tray icon.

Merry Christmas!
