Thanks Der_Bub. I had set 'Exclusive mode' in Imon manager, but not 'Always on top' in MP. That fixed it for me :)

Due to the lack of multimedia support, and the ability to install them if you wanted, would not advise anyone to buy the "basic" version of windows, don't care how cheap it is compared to the working multimedia versions, it will cost you your hair\patience trying to get things to work. Regards

I'm using Win7 on a new system... the ATi HDMI driver it came with (on its CD) does a great job at passing AC3/DTS but I had to adjust the PROPERTIES of the output to PASS AC3/DTS & WMA, then reboot. Another side benefit is the video comes to the HDMI automatically whenever I select it on my Onkyo 803 - WOW! It will revert to my...

this happened to me after the 4. or 5. reactivation (I played a lot with my HTPC at the beginning:-) ) You call Microsoft for free and an automated voice gives you a new activation code, you do not have to explain anything.

Ok, success! But it wasn't easy... Reinstalled with auto updates turned off. INstalled CCC 9.10 and the realtek HDMI audio driver 2.35. No crashing at all, but I still had no sound. So I connected the PC straight to my TV and the sound worked. So what we have here is an EDID override problem. After all of these driver...

I don't know the answer to your question, but some plugins/external MP applications (more so the older ones) assume mediaportal lies /program files (x86)/ so they need to be customized or have problems on 64bit. This is probably not really an isssue for the newer well written plugins.

I have not verified it yet, but reports from other users state that the sqlservr.exe process gain memory as it is being used in order to increase performance, and will continue to do so until about 4-10 MB memory is available. So this seems a very plausible cause :)
