[QUOTE="creatorbri, post: 302722, member: 82340"] I've got my HTPC up and running under WMC, but I'd like to use MediaPortal. Unfortunately that's not working out so well... Whenever I install the software and check the "Run MediaPortal now" box at the end of the installation, MediaPortal runs just fine. But when I try to launch the app directly (via the desktop shortcut, the start menu, or the filesystem -- MediaPortal.exe), the following occurs: The Splash screen appears along with the nifty sound. Then it goes to the blue screen and says "MediaPortal" at the top, and it has the animated, slowly turning WMC-style background... I see a faded box in the center of the screen which LOOKS like it belongs to a menu, but thats IT. Nothing else happens! I know the program isn't completely locked up because that background image keeps turning, but I get nothing useful -- no menu, etc, no interface. The only thing I can do is Alt-F4 the app and go back to using WMC (which works just fine). My setup: [b]TV-Server Version[/b]: ? Latest [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: ?
