You have the process plugin 'External Display' enabled and configured as type 'Debug Form'. If you do not have an external display (refers to VFD's etc) then best just disable this plugin. Trevor

PCPete - what version are you installing? Some of the MP1 builds checked for supported platforms, and refused to install. Most will install with just a warning message you click through. If it won't install, try a different build. I believe this check was removed for RC2. Way easier than trying to "fix" the installer, I would...

Yes, the thing is that it is the TV-Series database that I would like to only have to set up once. The movies already have a centralised DB with AMC and MyFilms, and the TV part is sentralised on the server. But we'd like to keep our "watched" setups separate, so I guess it's not an option, thanks tough :)

I am using MP as shell since I started with my first HTPC about 2 years ago. It is running like a charm, except of the common problems related to MP itself. One thing you should keep in mind is, that some default autostart stuff might not work, as it is fired only when using explorer.exe as shell. So some background tasks might not...
