Ok, so with all that filled out here's my problem. I had the 0.2.0.0 version installed and working great for about 3 months. Then I ran into some problems with it a while back and attempted a fresh install and now, I am not getting any video.

When I start MP, I get no video. It's as if the area that MP is trying to render has been frozen in place. I'm not sure how to better describe the problem. Its like the MP window took a screenshot of what's behind it and it doesn't show anything. Does anyone have any suggestions. I've browsed throught he settings and tried to fiddling with the stuff that seems to refer to how MP is showings its graphical stuff but nothing has helped.

Also, this problem persisted form 0.2.0.0, to the feature release to the current 0.2.2.0 release.

    Hi,

    try deleting the packed*.png files in your skins directory. Also there was some time ago something about a missing font, which could cause this problem. Try searching for "transparent".

    HTH,
    Flip.
