Empty Dialog box on My Tv + errors in logfiles (1 Viewer)

MediaPortal Version 0.2.2.0 :
MediaPortal Skin:
Windows Version XP SP2:
Motherboard: VIA EN12000G :
Video Card : VIA S3G Unichrome Pro IGP motherboard chipset:
1. TV Card : Hauppauge WinTv NOVA-T DVB-T USB:

This is a brand-new install on a new PC. I have it all running fine on another PC, but on this one, whenever I try to hit "TV On" I just get a blank "My TV" dialog box - and the TV doesn't come on.

The error logfile says:

Any help gratefully received!

I think that this is the problem - you need a graphics card/chip that fully supports DirectX 9 .... and I don't believe that the S3G does support DirectX 9?

Thanks for the reply!

This is apparently a subject of much debate

I just updated my drivers from the chipset page, rather than the older ones from the motherboard page (!) and I now have video running.

However, occasional "blue screen of death" crashes have replaced the original problem, and the GUI is anything but responsive.
