[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1287038, member: 141969"] One other datum that might be of interest: on my system, MP will occasionally terminate and then restart immediately. It does this when I am trying to start watching video (live TV or a recording). Usually there is no problem after the MP restart. But this event occurred a couple of days ago (using MP 1.29 on 64-bit Windows 7), and on that occasion MP could [b]not[/b] play any video after the MP restart -- it displayed a pop-up listing some stuff (I should have taken a screen shot). It was necessary to [b]reboot the system[/b] in order to clear this problem. So it looks as though the error that MP encountered screwed-up the available codecs in some way, and the reboot was necessary to reset them. When the MP restart was triggered, Windows displayed something like "Graphics driver failure". I am using an old graphics card (Nvidia GT-610), which is no longer supported in the current Nvidia driver package, so I have to use an older driver package, which perhaps has some residual bugs. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
