[QUOTE="hairlesshobo, post: 863528, member: 121339"] I had something like this happen to me a few weeks ago. What I found to be the problem was the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPorta\MediaPortal.exe.config were corrupted which prevented it from starting. Take a look inside that file with Notepad and you should see XML data. Looking at the attached screenshot that you have it mentions that the root element is missing, which to me sounds like it may be trying to look at that file and cannot find the root element of the XML tree. If that file is blank, you will either A) Need to find a backed up copy of that file and replace it, or B) Uninstall and Reinstall MediaPortal. I tried deleting the file so that it would be recreated automatically as suggested elsewhere on this forum, but it did not help me. Who knows, maybe it will help you. Hope this helps! -Steve [/QUOTE]
