I'm not looking for a step by step solution. But I'm really at the point of leaving MP, and I would regret that.
So this is more a request to take my doubts away.
This is what happened: For about 5 years or so I used MP, gave also a very very little contribution to it, and always accepted the little flaws that came with it.
About 2 years ago I did a last clean XP install. Since that moment there were codecs, and other little tools installed. Lets say that I installed 3 times a newer version of MP, also sometimes with a SVN. The last version was a 1.1. RC version I believe 2.
So there's a final, maybe it's time to upgrade! Did it, but with errors. Ok, I don't have SP3 installed, you know what, let's start off clean. About 6 hours later!!!!! I had my system up and running, not even finetuned, with XP and MP running??!!! I believe I need at least 8 hours to solve the problems:
Movie's don't play or MP hanging when stopping the movie.
Very slow loading of a movie, never experienced this before.
And all the other little adjustements I made: auto user login, bootscreen, logo's and so on.
Did I expect to much? Do I have to run vista or 7? Again have patience and build the system step by step?
Or go annoy myself with something like MCE?
