Media portal crashes on startup

shaamone · 2006-12-18, 18:06

I've done the usual searching of the forum and just cannot find an answer to my problem. So I'm sorry if I'm reporting a problem that you've all seen a zillion times!

I've installed media portal on my machine which at the time was a completely fresh build. Everything seemed to work out of the box, perfect. I was quite impressed with Media Portal having been an Myth TV user previously.

Now, for some reason when I start media portal it instantly crashes and asks if I'd like to send an error report to microsoft. I've tried the obvious thing and re-installed (using 0.2.0.0) and even the unstable version too.. Nothing seems to work.

Anyone else seeing this problem, or can you point me in the right direction to start my faultfinding? I'm sure nothing changed in-between the working and crashing timeframes. The machine MP is installed on gets rarely used.

Check the files in C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\log? Or wherever you installed it
