Hey everyone
I've been using mediaportal for a year now and absolutely love it but have recently come across a problem. i recently upgraded my pc. and did a repair install on windows to prevent having to do a complete reinstall of everything. after the repair instlal mediaportal would freeze indefinitely on the 'initializing directx' part of the splash screen. it would only go away if i waited awhile and then pressed ctrl+alt+del. if i dont do that everything continues as normal in the background but i cant click on anything or alt+tab off of the splash screen. once i wait for awhile and ctrl+alt+del mediaportal continues loading and everything works normally. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling mediaportal already and dxdiag reports no problems with directx. anyone have any idea what could be going on? thanks for any input.
