Hi,
I've been playing with Mediaportal for a few days, trying to get everything running. Lately, it refuses to start. There is a error message box, but it is partly covered by the splash screen (which states initializing DirectX). I can't move it, but can click OK. Next error box is also covered by the splash screen, but I can move this one. The message is: "Warning: nothing will be rendered. The reference rendering device was selected, but your computer only has a reduced-functionality reference device installed. ..."
When I click OK, the system hangs at "starting recorder"
I completely re-installed media portal, but no change. Any ideas? Also, any ideas what the first error box would have said? It's driving me crazy..
Thanks,
matthijs
