Ok, I cant seem to figure it out. Just like the other posts that discuss startup issues, I get as far as "initializing directx" then nothing else comes up. Task manager shows that Media Portal is running.
In checking the other posts where this issue existed I have found the fix for them was reinstalling directx 9c or the .NET framwork (or that they didnt have it to start with). I have tried reinstallations to no avail (directx 9c reinstall takes like 1 sec.).
I have Windows XP sp2, a radeon 9800 graphics card (newest 5.1 catalist drivers-tried previous drivers as well) and hauppauge pvr150 tv card, on an AMD 2600 machine. Directx 9c 4.09.0000.0904 (verified by dxdiag) and .NET with Sp1 are installed as well as ffdshow, vobsub and other codecs and software that would be useful if I could get that far. OH yea, I have also tried reinstalling Media Portal 0.1.0.5.1.
Here is what the Log says (I have never seen an error message):
1/29/2005 12:05:41 AM MediaPortal stopped due 2 an exception Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D at Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Manager.get_AdapterCount()
at Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Manager.get_Adapters()
at MediaPortal.D3DEnumeration.Enumerate()
at MediaPortal.D3DApp.CreateGraphicsSample()
at MediaPortalApp.Main()
Obviously this is a Directx issue but as I said a reinstall does not seem to do anything and microsoft isnt exactally friendly about uninstalling directx so that it can be rinstalled and I dont really want to try 3rd party unstall utilities until I am out of other options.
Any ideas out there?
