[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1138692, member: 82144"] Unfortunately this is not sufficient. Windows has confusing meanings/rights for administrators. Okay, thanks. I have no idea what that error means. MySQL is a third party database system. Usually it just works. When it doesn't, it's tough to know what to do or say... because like you, we're not MySQL experts. We simply bundle MySQL into our installer so TV Server can use it [for storing channels, schedules, settings, EPG etc.]. I guess you'll have to do the full uninstall of MediaPortal and MySQL through control panel as previously suggested, then try to reinstall with admin privileges. On that point... It is really simple. When you go to start the MediaPortal installer: instead of double-clicking on it (or whatever you normally do to start it), right click on it and click "run as administrator". You do this to start the installer. It is not a button or anything within the installer itself. This is a Windows thing. [/QUOTE]
