Im unable to start up Mediaportal with latest svn. Before I was using 0.2.0.4 with RealityMP skin and no problems.

My problem is when loading MP, then I see the small loading screen and then it only shows desktop background. if i do a ctrl+enter i get it back in a window where i can see the desktop through, but nothing gets rendered in the window.

Here is the log, if anyone will please help me:

Have been using mp for a year now, but just being able to get registered today; my spamfilter was killing the activation mail, DOH!

Seems to be here the fault is:

Nobody? I've searched through the forum, but couldnt find anything related...

I'm getting this same problem. Cannot use MP at all......

Any help would be appreciated

Now also tried with Radeon 9500 Nonpro, same problem.

Have you tried using the BlueTwo skin? I encountered a similar issue when I was using an older skin and the folder was not created/named correctly. Using a supported skin resolved my issue.

I'm working on it right now.

First i tried to default things, including the bluetwo skin. = same problem

Then I changed graphics card = same problem

Went back to first graphics card, made sure everything was default, uninstalled mp, reinstalled v0.2. Now not even 0.2 will boot Hangs at a new exception:

02-11-2006 00:48:19 D3D: InitializeDeviceObjects - Exception: System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory.

Doing a straight update to current svn, results in the beforementioned exception:

Hi,
Try to uninstall MP & delete or rename MediaPortal folder --> reboot --> reinstall MP, if you want to test latest SVN - backup your install folder --> apply latest SVN & at last run configuration (MP Setup - Installation wizard).
