First of all - I love MediaPortal and I want to thank everybody envolved developing it. I want to share a Problem I had. Took me 2 days to find a solution and apparently I'm the only person it ever happened to. Anyway, I just build myself a HTPC from old stuff I had laying around including an old ati 8500 which works just fine without any fan. I made a fresh install of windows XP / SP2 - updated it, installed ffdshow and CATALYST 6.11 driver. It's the last driver recomented by AMD/ATI for the 8500. Than I installed MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC3.

Problem persisted sometimes till restart, sometimes ofter switching OSD on/off it got back to normal. Long story short - it turned out to be a problem with the Video-Card-Driver. I unrolled Catalyst 6.11 installation back to the XP SP2 shipped ATI driver and problem was gone. I hope if somebody else searchs this Forum for the same problem he finds this usefull. Keep up the good work coders. [/QUOTE]
