crash while "Initializing DirectX..." (1 Viewer)

[mdc]

Hi,

I installed MP 1.1.2 on my computer. Installation finished with no error. I can watch TV, if I click "Preview" in the "TV-Server Configuration". But if I try to start MP, it opens a blue fullscreen with a message "Initialisiere DirectX...". This stays for about 30 seconds. Then the fullscreen disappeared and I am back on my desktop. The error log says:

The zip from a run of "MediaPortal Debug-Mode" is appended.

All windows auto-updates are installed. I tried it with DEP enabled and disabled, with and without AERO, with and without "screenselector", with VRM9 or EVR, with and without "VRM9 exclusive mode". Always the same error.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
mdc

Check if removing one of the GPUs solves the issue.

AW: crash while "Initializing DirectX..."

Hi,

ok, that is the problem. After removing the second Graphics-Card (ATI Radeon HD 3600), MP starts and works
But I need the 2nd card to drive my other two monitors. What else can I try, to make MP work if both cards are in use?

Kind regards,
mdc

Probably there is no other way to solve that issue than just to fix the MediaPortal itself.
