I can't run emplode right now to test it, cause I don't have access to a windows machine, but I don't see why this should happen. What is the error recieved? Perhaps its fixable in emptriv or hijack.

However, if it is the case, I'm finishing up a major project which makes it easy to start and stop programs at your whim even in the car and without rebooting. This means you won't have to have programs like emptriv run everytime, just when you want to use them. And when you're done, you can close them, returning memory to the player's caching algorithm. It should be done this weekend sometime, there is only one bug I'd like to fix left.
