Can't get Media Portal to work.

BUG:
Hello there. Just discovered Media portal but couldn't get it to work. Shows splash screen then a frame with 3 menus in it which are "File, Options" and "Wizards". The only thing working in these menus seem to be the "Exit" command. Inside the frame, I can see my own background and icons. I have two PC's which have very different hardware configs (one is an AMD desktop with nVidia GFX5700, the other is an HP Laptop with mobility X600) but the result is the same on both. I searched but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem. What can I do?

EgoMaster solved the problem

FIX:

have solved the problem and want to report this (I don't know if it classifies as a bug or not):
I had to change "Standarts and Formats" in control panel to "English (United States)" setting. If I change the skin, I have to repeat this before the first run. After the first run, I change it back to my own regional setting and run media portal again, it works.

This problem it's the same as reported here (no need for a double) .
