Client does not display (freeze) background

MaFu · 2007-05-13, 04:21

TV-Server Version: 0.3
MediaPortal Version: 2.2.0 with update 2.0.4 SVN 14587 (May 12 2007)
MediaPortal Skin: Blue
Windows Version: XP Pro SP2
CPU Type: P4 HT
HDD: 250Gb
Memory: 1Gb
Video Card: GT6600
1. TV Card: PVR350 Hauppauge

I just installed the TV Engine 0.3 + Client + Everything needed from a fresh XP installation, and the client starts but the background is freezed.

The menus work fine (File/Options/Wizards), the main menus/options (within the main window) work fine as well (e.g.: if I keep clicking with the mouse in some areas commands are executed) but the menus/buttons/background/etc are not shown and, when dragging the window, the Windows background is dragged with it (seems like a directx problem but it was installed OK).

I also desinstalled the original client and installed clients 14590 (May 13th) and 14501 (May 3rd) as well, with the same result.

Any tip on this one?

Thanks!!

FIXED!

Steps:

1. Desinstalled the Server + Client
2. Reinstalled MP 2.2.0 (the 30Mb file) and run MP. The background now was black (at least one color appeared, hehe)
3. Entered Setup/Configuration and changed skin to Blue Wide (although my monitor/TV is regular)
4. Run MP again and now the backgroung showed!!!
5. Changed back skin to normal
6. Reinstalled the last Server and Client svn
7. Now everything works

Hope this will help someone...!
