    What version of MediaPortal are you using, and what resolution do you have your display set at?

    The OK button is at the bottom of that box, but it looks like you have selected a font size, or screen resolution that has forced it "out of the box"..... :?

    it might also be the skin you're using on windows xp... i've noticed lots of things like that happen with various programs when you're using custom skins

    this is RC3... but it happened in other older versions too.
    i thought about the skin and tried windows classic, but it too, did not show.
    the font size is normal windows size and that screenshot is 1152*864. i tried changing it to 1280*1024 and then also the other way 1024*768. both ways didn't show the ok button.

    ok, based on what you said, i changed the DPI on my system to 75% and now i was able to see the OK button... it was unreadable since it was so small, but nonetheless, i was able to add it in... maybe this should be reported as a bug? should a user have to change their DPI to get this working?
    but thanks anyway folks...

    That's really odd, then - I am using 1280x720 and normal font size, and it is OK. So I would expect it would be fine for you, too?

    Yes, maybe it is a bug - do you similar problems with any other dialogue boxes?

    Have you used an unusual Windows Theme that might have caused this?

    Have always had to maximise when adding city to my weather as use 120dpi.(dodgy eyesight you know) assumed this was normal because of font change.
    Just reset font size to normal and can now see close button ok.
    Must be something particular to queerwookie's setup that's changing fontsize.

    Use TAB

    I had the same problem but found out that you can push TAB until the selection box disappers. Then it is on the invisible "OK"... :)

    I have a fresh installation of RC4 and XP pro and I guess my problem maybe could be related to XPize. That program changes a lot of windows standard icons and animations.
    At first I also thought is was the resolution but since I am used to that "OK" and "Cancel" disappers I tried to TAB my way to the OK button. I use 848x480 since my old 42" plasma has that resolution... :(

    Ok, thanks much. I will look into the instructions above. For the moment, I turned off the "Automatic channel logo update" in Settings (which somehow I had missed, I think because it wasn't an option previously), and the deleted everything in the Flat-default folder and populated it with my own logos. Works, so far.

    That screen is generated by the file "MyVideo.xml", but it uses various other files too. When the list on the right is a list of episodes, the area in the middle contains the programme information for the episode that has the focus.

    It is present, but not with that name. It is called Scheduler, viz: Interesting. I had never noticed that when the "command" is "ACTION", the "cmdproperty" is the actual window id, but it makes sense that it is. Try this for yourself. First backup your working profile for the remote, then in the "Mapping" panel make a change to...
