Hi,
Was this a clean install, no old files in MediaPortal folder & you have updated everything on Windows Update (& of course latest graphic card drivers)?

There seems to be a bug in the hr-BA (Bosnia and Herzegovina) language resource. I have patched core.dll to not use hr-BA and now it works. Perhaps the bug is in the .NET Framework 3.0 or NET Framework 3.5 Pre-Release (which is installed by Silverlight.

Hi,
Would be nice to know what causes this, XP or MP.
Know from before that some language(like Norwegian) have had troubles, but this it's a new issue.........

As I wrote it seems to be a bug in the .NET Framework 3.0 or NET Framework 3.5 Pre-Release, not in mediaportal.

In MediaPortal\Core\guilib\LocalizeStrings.cs GetCultureName all available Cultures are added to a list and the "Bosnia and Herzegovina" CultureInfo seems to have an error. I don't need this specific item because I need german or english.

A workaround would be, to enclose line 248 of MediaPortal\Core\guilib\LocalizeStrings.cs with try/catch.

_cultures.Add(cultureList.EnglishName, cultureList.Name);
