[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 888379, member: 82144"] Hello Nalex Thanks for the PM and your patience. :thx: In response to your question: the installation will have asked whether you wanted to install a DB. Then when you first try to open TV Server configuration it will come up with the dialog that asks for your connection details: [IMG]http://users.telenet.be/Drizla/SetupDatabaseConnection.png[/IMG] After that, all being well you should never see it again. The easiest way to verify that your DB is running is to check task manager (press ctrl+alt+del). For MySQL, there should be a mysqld.exe process running.
