Hi all, first of all sorry about my english, i hope i can explain myself

My problem is that, with the RC2 or the latests SVN of que RC1 my mediaportal freeze after 10 seconds (more about). I can continue using it, but in blind mode, if i load a film it starts perfectly and if in this moment i go back to the mediaportal, it works, but 10 seconds after... the image freeze again.

I am now at work, but later i will post the logs files.

Thanks for all and very good work

Try using the ATI Display driver 7.2 version and CCC 7.2. I was having the same problems and found elsewhere on the forum that rolling back to 7.2 resolves the issue. It worked for me rolling back.

Thanks charli181, i will check this drivers as soon as i will go home

Thanks a lot!


I am now at home, and it works!

I have tested with the latest SVN for the RC1 and now don't freeze. Now i am installing the RC2 but sure it works too

Thanks again

I am runing 7.11 and still have this problem.
I am reverting back to 7.2 to see if the problem goes away.

If you really want to run 7.11 try reading this thread. There are some modified skins which get rid of the parameter that causes the lockups for ati 1xxxx cards. http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/at...ms-t29894.html
