Hi hope someone can help, My hard drive packed in recently, luckily i backed everything up and did a system restore so back up and running. Before my Hard drive failure Media portal worked seemlessly. No issues. After restore im getting the following message come up when i start MP,

Exception while attempting to read MediaPortal location from registry
MediaPortal must be installed, is Media Portal Installed?
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I then click OK and get the next message,

Cant find MediaPortalDirs.xml
\MediaPortalDirs.xml

When i click through the messages MP does open up and seems to be working.

I also get the same error messages come up when i try to go into the StreamedMP Editor, although when i go through the messages on editor it wont open.

Has anyone experienced this before? im hoping there is a quick fix for this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Cameron.

Sounds like your missing some important registry entries...perhaps you forget to import those as well?

The windows 7 backup and restore was supposed to restore my system to the point i backed it up exactly like for like. I didnt have anyinput except for inserting my windows 7 disc and pointing it to the restore file on my other drive so im fairly confident i didnt miss anything.

Does the error relate to just the skin im using? I tried reinstalling the skin but that didnt seem to work.

If im missig registry entries is there any way to find out which ones and have them updated?
