Hi,
Have you tried to use MP 0.2.3RC1 + latest SVN instead, thats what i use with my TheatriX 550 card & this works fine.

Hi

Tried that now, still no luck.
Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

Hi,
I dunno whats wrong, haven't updated to latest drivers for that card yet(will do if i get some time later today) but don't think it's the reason.
You're not running any form of lite installation of windows?

You're not running any form of lite installation of windows?

Well, actually I do ... I used nLite to create a slipstreamed install-cd of Windows XP SP2, added some drivers, made some tweaks and removed a few minor components (like the "Alerter" service). I have only had a few minor problems with it.
The only current issue is an error message in the System Log:

Event Source: DCOM
| Event ID: 10005
| DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is
| disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. "
| attempting to start the service StiSvc with arguments "" in order to
| run the server: {A1F4E726-8CF1-11D1-BF92-0060081ED811}

StiSvc is the "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)" service, which I have disabled. It does not seem to affect anything on my computer.

I created and installed it 31. December last year, and haven't had to reinstall since. Windows is actually just as responsive as it was in January.
And I am positive that I have used the TV-card to watch TV on my computer plenty of times with this configuration.

Hi,
Well, MP needs a full installation of windows, no lite version & thats how it is...............
