Giday.

Long time MediaPortal user here.

When the final of MediaPortal 1.21 went release, I downloaded and upgraded my working 1.20 install.

I ran Mediaportal, and it started normally and was greeted by the familiar GUI of the skin I use, which is 'Apollo'
I later had to reboot my PC thru windows updates.

The next time I ran MediaPortal 1.21, (which was working before restarting the PC) it starts, then seems to get into some weird startup loop, which I can not escape from, except by using task manager, and even then it is hard to select the mediaportal process and kill it, as it is constantly restarting.

I retrograded back to MediaPortal 1.20, and everything works fine once more.

When 1.22 pre-release dropped, I tried upgrading again from 1.20 to 1.22 pre-release, and the identical thing happens, and get stuck in infinite start loop, where Mediaportal fails to make it into it's GUI interface. If I retrograde back to 1.20, then it is fine again.

Any idea what might be happening here?, I am gonna try choosing a different skin from the configuration utility, but this behavior is kinda weird.
