Fresh install 1.2.1 on Win 7-64 bit - fully updated and all drivers installed.

Problem: MP starts as it's supposed to. When trying to play a video it hangs - opening task manager, it says "Mediaportal - Besked" (besked=message in danish) and won't let me stop. Meanwhile there's no video, audio of file plays...
Tried installing SAF 6.02 - problem persists...

This is the first time I've experienced this problem - help appreciated...

LOGs attached...

Thx...

    Hi Hildebrandt

    I'm no expert on this area but I'm guessing there is a problem with the source video. From the evr.log:

    ProcessMessage MFVP_MESSAGE_INVALIDATEMEDIATYPE

    owlsroost or tourettes are probably the best people to comment about that.

    This is a fresh install - and the first time i've had this problem; the file in question has played flawlessly through several versions/installations of MP... And the problem occurs regardless of what video file i attempt to play..

    Hmmm, okay. I wonder if it is the Intel graphics driver then...

    Same issue - new install om old rig; AFAIK i've used teh same GFX driver i had in my last install where it worked...
    Now that i think of it - the only thin different now, is that i (think i) used 1.2.0 last time i installed...

    AW: Mediaportal crashes when trying to play file...

    Did u activate die "Video" Plugin in the Configuration of MediaPortal? I had the same problem a couple of years ago, to optimize MediaPortal I deactivated all Plugins that were in my opinion not necessary, so I also deactivated the "Video" Plugin with the same result as here :)

    EDIT: Opps, did not read your last post, so when it already worked, the error must be somewhere else..

    Hmmm...
    Inspired by the comments above, i DL'ed lates GFX drivers - no improvement...
    Uninstalled 1.2.1 - DL 1.2.0 and installed.... Now it works - plays videos as its supposed to... But not the same as before - MP is running on secondary screen - when i enable "MP always on top" i cannot gain focus in the browser running on primary screen...

    ??? (!)
