When i tried to start up MePo it hangs during the : Initializing input devices
Any ideas?

Not helpful possibly but I had that (on several PCs) when restarting, a rebbot start was fine though!

1.10 seems to have fixed that (but not saying it is perfect as I use little of MP's capabilities).

The funny thing is it just started doing it.
I'm just now trying with a backup to see if that will work (since i do know i didnt have the problem before).

Disable both BrowseTheWeb & HTPCInfo plugin and try to start MP again.
If that doesn't work, start MP with the WatchDog option 1, which disables all plugins. If it still fails, exit MP and attach the .zip with logfiles.

And maybe it's a good idea to update to 1.9 Final (or 1.10 Pre Release)?

I too have this (recent) problem. I'm running 1.10pre. I have noted that using Avallanche or StreamedMP skins I get this problem, but using Titanius skin starts fine, But that might just be a coincidence,

I have experienced the same with old versions of StreamedMP, so i switched to Titanius some time ago.
My plan was to upgrade to 1.9, but not before it's working again.
(Did try with 1.9 before same issue)
Now trying with a backup version and BrowseTheWeb & HTPCInfo plugin disabled.

Using a backup and disabling BrowseTheWeb & HTPCInfo did the trick i'm up and running again

Now you can enable the plugins 1 by 1 again, and see if the errors pops up again.
Then you can report the issue to the author of the plugin
