[QUOTE="V_J, post: 599837, member: 103476"] Hello, I'm trying to run Mediaportal on Windows 7. My videocard is a Matrox Parhelia, which is listed in the [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/GeneralRequirements#Requirements_for_running_MediaPortal_and.2BAC8-or_the_TV-Server"]hardware requirements[/URL]. At startup however, it doesn't seem to work. In full screen mode, the software appears to hang on the splash screen "Initializing directX". In windowed mode, I get an message stating that DirectX will use a software renderer and that it will be slow. I then get a fully transparent window with working menu bar. Should MediaPortal work with the Parhelia? (xbmc does not work: it gives me a white screen where video should be, I thought it was because of pixel shaders < 2.0, but Moovida seems to have no problem; so it could well be the same problem I see with MediaPortal) If it should, any thoughts for locating the problem? Thanks! Jörg [/QUOTE]
