[QUOTE="keith_leitch, post: 684779, member: 97285"] This is one of the most bizarre things I've ever experienced. An hour ago, I was using Mediaportal normally. Now, it loads with an invisible user interface. I know the program is running, because it appears in the task list and claims the focus, but I cannot see it at all; I can only see the desktop or whatever other windows are open. The only thing that I did was to enable a "Video Editor" plugin that I had never tried. I have now disabled this, and restarted my computer, but nothing has changed. Mediaportal remains completely invisible. UPDATE: I have used a third-party program (nircmd) that can hide and show windows. After loading Mediaportal, I can run this program to force it to become visible again. However, once I exit, it loads invisibly the next time, too. I am attaching a log, though I doubt it will help. Everything looks normal. Unfortunately, my scheduled backup is tonight, not last night, and I have made a number of other important changes during the week that I would prefer not to lose. I hope that somebody can help.
