[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1261408, member: 141969"] This is very frustrating. :mad: :cry: The difficulty is in spotting what might be different about your setup. :confused: In October last year, I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Home, with all of the updates issued to that point. I have not installed any updates since then, so there might have been an intervening rogue Windows 7 update that you have on your system but which I don't have on mine. I am using Win 7 Home and I note that you are using Win 7 Ultimate, but it seems unlikely that that difference would be the source of the problem. I am not using any anti-virus or anti-malware, other than the default that is installed as part of Windows 7. I have very few applications installed other than MP (these apps are mostly tools, such as "Open Hardware Monitor", "Open Object Rexx", and "Recuva"). After installing Win 7, I did a fresh install of MP 1.18. Since then I have done update installs of 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, and 1.22. I am currently running MP 1.22 with some fixes from MP 1.23. When installing MP, I download the exe, and then run the exe explicitly from a command line. But I always make sure that the internet is accessed when I do this, just in case MP wants to download and install any software which it needs but which is not currently installed. I am running a "single seat" system, i.e. the client and the server are on the same system. I am not trying to stream video or audio around my home network. I use fixed network addresses for all of the systems on my home network. I have not changed the default setup that MP uses to communicate with TV Server. I have listed above what I think might be relevant, just in case you can spot something that is different about your setup. When complex setups don't work, I usually try to simplify until I get [i]something[/i] to work, even if it is not exactly what I want. Once something is working, one can proceed step by step to find the place where the problem arises. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
