[QUOTE="ph0b0s123, post: 697875, member: 109411"] Wow, a lot of response. Finally resolved it myself. Turns out my Arial windows font had become corrupt or could not be found by the program. As soon as I installed the font again the program suddenly started working. I won't go into how annoying it is that a program fails in such a spectacular way with hardly any meaningful messages about why for something so simple. It only became obvious as my ATI catalyst control center started saying that it could not find the font. So I must take my hat off to the writers of the program as for a free piece of software it does a hell of a lot. So good job. But unfortunately I may have to look elsewhere as the TV part of the program (the main part I use) is very annoying. With previous TV cards and their native software up until now, I would be constantly switching between full screen TV and having it in a little window in the corner of the screen. In mediaportal switching like this could not be more frustrating. Every time you switch between full screen and windowed mode the TV feed turns off and has to be reengaged again. Even if in window mode you want to resize the windows a little bit, bye bye tv.
