MediaPortal 1.6 pre and 1.6 final won't autostart on Windows 7 150% "zoom" (1 Viewer)

[der_caveman]

Hi!

If I set the display magnification to 150% MP (configured to autostart) hangs at the splash screen titled waiting for tvservice.
After killing the process manually it starts normally.

The log seems to be ok:

Autostart works if I put the magnification back to 100%.

Anyone with the same behavior?

TIA,
Heiko.

Same problem, fresh Windows 7 x64 install.
I did solve it by putting a 10 second start delay for MediaPortal. After the 10 seconds are over the application starts normally. Tested this with several cold boots. Within the 10 seconds the TV Service has started, so the whole wait for TV Service to start is skipped I guess.

Very strange problem.
