Hi,

Did you tried MP2 on your Windows XP SP3 ?

If yes, it can be related as MP2 requirement is set to Windows 7...

I'm running vista.

AW: directx error

glenn, as MP2 is set to run on Win7, we don't officially support Vista.

But I also tried to run it on my HTPC which is still on Vista x64; it doesn't work here either. If you get it running on your Vista system, please tell me what you had to do to run it without errors. As far as I know, currently, there is no technical show stopper for MP2 to run on Vista. Most probably, the Video player will be the only component which will need Win7, but the current version should run on Vista too.
