Both of these systems do the same thing. I reinstalled XP three times last night and have fixed the problem on both systems. I know need someone else to also test.what I did1. Install windows XP with service pack 2.2. Install sound and graphics drivers.3. Turn on automatic updates. Allow windows to auto install first 2 updates.4. Reboot. Install Net framework 2. install MP 0.2.2 and latest SVN.5. Run media portal it works at this point for me.If it wont work for you at this point then the rest is no good for you. dont continue.6. Allow windows to download the next 76 or so updates. But do not express install. each time I did this MP no longer works.7. unselect all update .Install all security updates in groups of ten, reboot ater each ten, (do not tick dont remind me again) and the do step 7 over again until all security updates are installed.8. After each ten I tested MP and it still worked.9. Next unselect all updates and install the remaining one at time rebooting when asked.10. Once again I check MP on every reboot. and it still worked.11. After all updates were installed MP still worked and still is after installing all my other software on both systems.I tried this on both systems and it worked. I tried them all at once many times and MP has always frozen on these two systems. MY ASUS Nforce board has no problems only the two VIA systems.This takes about 30 minutes but hey if it works you only have to do it once!!Let me know how you go if you try, would be interesting to know if it is only VIA systems too??Carl</blockquote>
