Hi all,

Have enjoyed MP for some weeks now and also updated with later snapshots that fixed some of my early problems with sound. I really love MP and am very thankfull to all you out there contributing to it.

But now it suddenly stopped working.

When trying to start MP i get a windows message saying:
"MediaPortal.exe has stopped working
A problem casued the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"

I don't trust Microsoft to fix my problem and hope that some of you out ther can help me. I just don't like to be stuck with Windows Media Center. Mediaportal is much better on most of the things that I am using so really hope to get a fix soon.

Some details:

I have uninstalled and deleted the folders.
I also run regedit and removed all MediaPortal "folders" in the registry.
I am not able to find any of the logs that usually are requested when people are having problems.
All I can find in my log folder is configuration.log and configuration.bak
I am able to start configuration.exe.
And what confuses me is that it looks like my previous settings was found - but I thought I deleted everything.

I attach my configuration.log if that can be usefull.

Let me get some good news please.

Thanks in advance,
YakoBay

-- update --

Have been able to get it working almost as before.
I was not able to get logs working and reinstalled again - but again same strange thing with previous settings appeared.

The ordinary MediaPlayer.exe did not work but I tried AppStart.exe and finaly MediaPortal started again.
This time without my defined video filders and other things BUT my weather location was still there!

Is it something I am missing out from the documentations? Why is AppStart working but not the ordinary mediaplayer.exe?

Another problem that I probably have to raise in a new thread is that my sound level is almost gone on ordinary audio but for DTS/AC3 it is as normal - can anyone help me out with that?

New edit and apology:

Realised that I posted this in the wrong folder - can anyone move this to support?

Have troubled with my installation and Vista all evening and found that Vista was probably the source for many of my setup problems - there was heavy user security on my account even if I am the administrator. Turned User Account Control off and was able to do a lot more things - even start MediaPlayer!!!

Now my main problem is low audio level on playback of bot videos and mp3.
On multichannel sorce video there is normal levels and also if I switch to Windows MediaPlayer.
