MP installs without complaint.* The TVService service is running after the install finishes so I manually stop the service.* Working from your post earlier in this thread, #432 (<a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/hauppauge-hd-pvr-colossus-support-94850/index44.html#post766688" target="_blank">https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/hauppauge-hd-pvr-colossus-support-94850/index44.html#post766688</a>), I got the All_Colossus_HDPVR_Patch(v2).zip file and applied those changes.* I'm using the 1.5.7.0 drivers from Hauppauge as well as the MCE support files (perhaps this could be the source of the problem?), so I also updated the TVLibrary.dll file from the same post #432. The instructions in that post read a little funny so I was not entirely clear if I should replace all 4 files in that zip file, or just the TVLibrary.dll.  It seems like just the DLL so I went with that.* At this point, I tried starting up TV-Server Configuration.  Once it restarted the service and the GUI came up, I still had no HD PVR capture device.  I shut down the TVService again and verified that I'm still getting the same error in the log file.* Next I tried to start MediaPortal Watchdog, I left all the options at their defaults and clicked proceed.  Again, I got the WatchDog crash: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.xml'.  I chose Continue in the hopes that it would still be able to do it's thing, but the Status never changes from "Launching MediaPortal..."* It was here that I figured out that running the MediaPortal Configuration tool was what generated that missing XML file.  I ran it and didn't change anything and exited it.  Then started the debug mode WatchDog again.  MP started up, said it was waiting for a connection to the TV service for a little bit and then finally showed the home screen.  The TV service never actually started up, though, so I manually started it up.  Nothing in the TV section showed anything useful, so after poking around there for a minute, I exited MP.  Watchdog then created the attached log file set.  Hopefully something useful is in there.--Brad</blockquote>
