[QUOTE="erikreier, post: 41608, member: 18934"] Dear Enthanx. I think You will figure it out :-) I have tested MediaPortal on at least 10 different hardware configurations, and it always works. The common denominator for these systems are : A fresh XP Pro SP2 install w/ updates and latest hardware drivers. Nvidia graphics cards, XFX or Hauppage Tuner cards w/ MPEG-2 hardware encoders.. Also, the hardware requirements for MP are always fulfilled. No on-the edge experimental hardware... Maybe a fresh minimum XP install + latest hardware drivers will do it ? A HTPC computer "in production" must, in my opinion, be absolutely fresh and clean and without any other uneccesary installs....No antivirus, no antispyware, no games, no webcams, nothing that You don't expect to use on a dedicated HTPC. I have even disabled about 15 unusable Microsoft services... makes the computer fly.. This purist/fundamentalistic approach is just my opinion.. I run Media Center 2005 and MediaPortal in parallell on two different computers... Mediaportal runs on half the hardware specs than the MCE, and it does it very well.
