[QUOTE="spoco2, post: 40747, member: 18790"] I have this problem as well, am attempting to update my directx to fix it... my issue with this problem is the way Media Portal handles it... ie very poorly. * I start up Media Portal's config, no mention of not meeting any reqirements. * I finish the config and start Media Portal to be greeted by the startup little splash thing, which says 'Initializing Directx', however then a popup with I assume an error message appears... except that it's UNDER the splash, and unable to be dragged into view. So I can't tell what the issue is at all. * I click the exposed OK button on the popup (all you can see of it), and another popup comes up UNDER the the splash. This one is large enough that the top is able to be grabbed and so you can pull it from under the splash and read that it's saying something along the lines that it's going to be using a software renderer and all is going to be bad. * Click ok to that and it says it's initializing the recorder (of which I don't have one)... and there it stays... no way to quit, and it's already removed my taskbar... such that when I kill the process from Task Manager I still have no taskbar until I restart the PC. Pretty darn terrible welcome to the program. I really hope it gets better... as it [i]looks [/i]good from all accounts. [/QUOTE]
