Perhaps try a memtestx86 boot disk and check that memory too.

I already did that test a long time ago, and it turned out there was nothing wrong with memory modules. Like someone wrote here on the forum, Mp is a big slow mammuth that no one, except geeks, can fucking make it work on an everyday use computer. Surely, in the lab, Mp runs smoothly, I dont doubt this.

Chill down, it sounds like youve already made up your mind so you might as well just move onto MCE2005. Thats your choice but you dont have to get aggressive about it.

And it works fine on a LOT of computers on here with vastly different configurations so its not just the 'lab' that it works with.

In all your complaining you have never mentioned if there is anything in the logs that may shed some light. If ou are unsure then post them here for us to look at.

Also, just to add, I have MP running downstairs as a dedicated HTPC but upstairs it runs on my regular PC. It's very stable and I use the PC for all manner of other things.

Sorry! I didn´t mean to get agressive, it´s just that MP gets on my nerves sometimes. Well, here I´m gonna include a new error.log, hoping someone will come out with a good idea.
I´d also like to mention that I got nothing against the people at MP, though, sometimes, I may seem I do.

I belive a dual-boot with one XP inst. dedicated to MP would be the solution...

Worth a try, anyway?

That´s exactly what I got right now. MP installed on a different disk, with XP SP2, .Net, Divx, Xvid, Ac3 filter, Nvidia pure video decoder.
Hardware: geforce 6200 256 MB, soundblaster 24bit, Hauppage PVR 150, Asus P4s-X Motherboard, 1GB RAM, HD:80GB, HD:160GB,HD:250GB, pentium IV 2.8Ghz. That´s all.
Any ideas, besides formatting again?

As for .net do you have both .net 1.1+sp and .net 2.0 installed?
You do need both.

Right now, I got .NET 2.0, but are you sure I need both versions? When I read here on the forum, what the requirements are, they insist on having the latest possible versions of everything. Can someone confirm this?
MP is now working. I changed, VMR9 to VMR7.I havent yet tested it for a long time to see whether it´s stable or not, however the quality of the TV image is just a piece of shit. When I watch TV on WINTV2000, the image is simply wonderful. I can play music now as well. As for the Pictures part, as soon as I try to open it, MP crashed my whole system, I cant even run Task Manager from the keyboard to kill it, the only way is restarting the PC

Install .Net + the service pack then Install .Net 2.0. Install a clean install of MP possibly a copy we know doesnt have problems (unlike random cvs copies) maybe 0200RC2.
