[QUOTE="Ventry, post: 696719, member: 97217"] A hard drive fail necessitated a re-install of MP for me recently. I re-installed Win7 Ultimate, full updates, MP 1.1.2 etc. It worked fine until first sleep. Upon wake up the symptoms you describe occurred. (memory usage fluctuated up and down between 950,000K and 350,000K and MP was slow. Everything was stuttery) Nothing would set it right apart from a total uninstall/re-install of MP would fix it. Until (of course) the first sleep/wake-up. Rinse and repeat. Now after much anger, frustration etc. I copied over an old MP 1.1.0 install and discovered that despite the age of the databases it worked just fine. Now I narrowed it down to one of 2 things: 1) I noticed that both the Tv and MP configuration programs on the fresh install had UAC shields on them and required user input to run. 2) One of the (many) Windows 7 updates. (perhaps one of these is the cause of 1). As I tried to install MP 1.1.0 on the updated Win7 and the UAC shield were there.) Not sure which one. However I am placing my bet on 1). I believe the UAC requirements are screwing the wake-up process. All I did to get my HTPC productive again was to update the old MP 1.1.0 install to 1.1.2 and update my databases and all is well. The only thing I didn't do was update win 7 and the UAC sheilds are NOT on either configuration program. So perhaps maxx you should check and see if your config programs have this UAC shield on them. If so, try to remove them. Failing that, re-install Win7 WITHOUT updates and then install MP and see if those UAC shields are there. Hope this is of help and I wonder if any of the devs can impart their opinions on this matter? Cheers Ventry [/QUOTE]
