OK - I can reproduce the problem, but I haven't found the root cause of the problem yet.

It looks like the MediaPortal.xml settings file (in C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal) can get invalid values for these lines e.g.:

<entry name="backupsizewidth">120</entry>
<entry name="backupsizeheight">0</entry>

...which then causes the crash - but only if MP is starting in 'windowed' mode (not fullscreen).

Please try this which hopefully should fix it for now:

Open the MP configuration utility, go to General -> Startup/Resume Settings, then tick 'Start MediaPortal in fullscreen mode'.

Close MP configuration, then start MP client - hopefully it will start OK. Close MP (which should save valid values for those lines mentioned above).

If you need to run MP in windowed mode afterwards, open MP config and un-tick 'Start MediaPortal in fullscreen mode'.

I'll try and fix the code so that those values in MediaPortal.xml are sanity checked and don't cause an error....
