[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 974848, member: 103549"] Despite the advise - I had a go:-> Clean Win 8 install on old laptop, added the termserver patch for Win 8, so I can RDP in AND play MePo at same time. MePo - needs .Net35 - this was a glitch, I found installing via the dotnetfxsetup.exe simply not to work - downloaded the full dotnetfx35.exe and installed with no problem. Then 1.3 Final installed without a glitch -[U] note, operating as CLIENT a only[/U], TV Server is separate Win 7 box (which may explain why I had no issues), content on separate NAS. Install MovingPictures & MPTVSeries via extension installer, config couple of shares for Video & Music, then dump a copy of thumbs DIR + movingpictures & MPTVSeries databases into correct locations, copy Shortcutter.dll & xmk files into place, then all systems go. Works well, no problems so far (watching Red Dwarf X on it now), browsing movies & music:) and removing service in RDP window. You mileage may vary obviously - but on 2007 vintage laptop 1.3 on Win 8 looking good - I have still to tune the Win8 system to remove lots of services I don't need, but so far so so good. TTFN - JCMP One thing - if you have MePo set to autostart for one user, too turn it off for another user (I have Player autologin on console and user Manager for RDP), you now have to ue TaskManager StartUp tab to control it - it's msconfig in XP & Win7.
