[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9574"] Ok. I tried deleting and reconfiguring mediaprotal.xml - no change. Directx SDK is not on my machine (at least not in add/remove programs or regeditor) - strike two. The "full" version of directx 9c is what I had been using to reinstall but what the heck I tried it again - strike 3. Tried reinstalling "full" version of sp2, microsoft says it is the same version and would shut down the installer. Now I remember that my xp version already has it on the cd and does not allow an uninstall of sp2 as it is not listed in the add/remove programs and there is not a $uninstallsp2 folder to get to the uninstall wizard. I tried "fixing" xp with the installation disk but of course this led to the computer not even starting back up. Doing a little bit more research I found that the xp disk I had had only a beta version of sp2 on it (dont ask) so this may not of worked anyway. So, I am going to take some time to reinstall a fresh version of xp (after I extract my config files for some programs) and add a dedicated drive for media files. I'll be back to try Media Portal again. I cant stand the idea of using the "one size fits all" MCE program. Ive tried Meedio, and although it installs and runs without problem, I find it difficult to accept that I need to use plugins to do things the core program should handle.
