I have been on MP 0.2.3.0 RC2 for a while now and when having a look over the Christmas break I tried installing MP 1.0.0.0 RC4 but the software is very unstable and crashed everytime. This happens after I have navigated to any section of MP like Movies, TV, Music, etc. After navigating for a few seconds the screen freezes and I notice the MP log collector dialog box appear.

I then tried various other releases like MP 1.0.0.0 RC, latest SVNs, etc but have the same issue.

I would very much like to upgrade to the latest version but it is completely un-usable for me. when I go back and install the old version (0.2.3.0 RC2) all works fine but the newer version always crash.

I'm attaching the log files. Could someone please help me. Thanks.

I dont have any knowledge on ATI cards, but maybe you will find something in this thread.

Might also be a corrupt installation. Another user with similar line in error.log. A developer's response on that one:

Hi,

looking at your logs (in particoular error.log) I really think you messed up the whole MP install:

2008-12-20 08:11:32.375000 [ERROR][SplashScreen]: Error during splashscreen handling: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Skin\BlueTwo\references.xml'.

Hi rekenaar,

Many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will have a look at the threads that you recomended and see if that resolves the issue.

I will post the result back in this thread. But if unsuccessful would certainly appreciate more help.

As rekenaar helpfully pointed out in post 2, I got it working by installing Catalyst 7.2. All works fine now. Thanks for your help.

Good to get positive working feedback
