Error: Failed to load your skin ... aborting startup" (1 Viewer)

You have install the fonts (Right click on the font -> Install). After you have done this you should clear the skin cache and reboot.

From the logs it is a font problem imo:

After some searching in our forum, it could be that Arial Font (arial.ttf) of windows got corrupt. Helpful links: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/crash-on-startup.103179/#post-819426

I have installed the fonts. Error is still there.

I'll try to reinstall the Arial font too. But what makes me wonder is that Mepo gives me the error message "Not enough memory" (in german "Nicht genügend Arbeitsspeicher").

I have installed the Arial font but error still there. By the way: I have installed the same version of StreamedMP on my laptop. There I don't get this error message but Mediaportal doesn't start. Mediaportal shows the loading screen and when the loading process ends and the homescreen should appear Mediaportal ends. That's all. But this only happens when I'm using StreamedMP as skin.
Some more ideas?

I was wrong. I get this error message on my laptop too. On both "machines" I'm running Windows XP SP3. Is it possible that there is problem during installation of the StreamedMP files?

Now I have uninstalled Mediaportal and StreamedMP on my laptop then installed Mediaportal again and then StreamedMP and now no error message anymore. StreamedMP is working now on my laptop. So it seems that I have to uninstall mediaportal on my htpc to get StreamedMP working.

Now I have uninstalled Mediaportal on my htpc and then installed it again. But I have still the same error when I try to start StreamedMP. This error I only get with the skin StreamedMP. All other skins are working.
Does anyone has an idea?

Try a re-install of Direct-X.

Hi ltfearme,
I re-installed Direct-X. Still the same error. Today I was happy to see that there is a new version of StreamedMP. It was my hope that with this new version the error is gone. But still the same error. StreamedMP was my favorit skin with MePo 1.2.3 and I would like to use it with MePo 1.3 RC too.
PLEASE HELP!!!
