Looks like there's some dead links around pointing to my site.

Where did you get to the url ending in hubs_download.htm?
xapautomation.org?

Anyhow, the xAP framework based hubs have been deprecated for a while now
(hence the 404's) - there were just too many problems with them.
The xFx-Express version is a new hub written from the ground up (in .Net).
It runs as a service and there's no GUI version available - sorry about
that
- but then viewer does a much better job at visualising stuff.

BTW - the splitter error is just to do with the app not persisting
correctly
the setting of the position in pixels of the UI splitter that separated the
left and right hand panes on the UI. This can get messed up if you change
screen size or if you used remote desktop. It all depended on a 3rd party
component that the original developer of xFx used and for which I have
never
found the source code (other wise I'd have fixed it). If you want to make
the splitter error go away (which can happen to any of the old xFx apps)
all
you need to do is find the file AMSProfile.xml in your Documents and
Settings area that relates to the misbehaving app and either delete it or
edit it to fix up the values.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<profile>
<section name="WindowPlacement">
<entry name="SplitterPosition">200</entry>
<entry name="X">-12</entry>
<entry name="Y">109</entry>
<entry name="Width">1061</entry>
<entry name="Height">864</entry>
<entry name="State">0</entry>
</section>
</profile>

SplitterPosition should be something like 30% of Width.

Respect to the others for responding rapidly to this, I've been out and
about today.
