Re: Another Temporary solution
Thanks mate - was just setting my brother up with MP and had this issue (never seen it before, despite many many reinstall on XP or 7 on multiple clients). Couldn't work it out but your post solved my issue.
Based absolutely in the diagnose by Fforde.
1) Disable MovingPictures in MP Configuration.
2) Move the directory movingpictures (inside thumbs) to another location (not in the same tree).
3) Star MP with your selected skin.
4) Put the directory in the original location and enable MovingPictures in MP Configuration.
5) Start Mediaportal.
Works for me.
