I have these crashes of MP. The only thing I could find about it is in german in this forum, but I do not understand much of it. It happens when I restart my HTPC and then I turn on TV. The HTPC switches the refreshrate and then I get some exeption window of Windows 7 about Mediaportal. MP keeps running fine though when I click somewhere so the message goes in the background! Is this something only I have and what can I do about it.

Well, I tried to reproduce this problem in debug mode. For this I had to disable automatic starting op MP. But when looking in the configuration, the checkbox for automatic starting wasn't checked. Seemed that MCE standby tool started MP automatically!

So, I disabled this in MCE Standby Tool, restarted, and then started MP in debug mode (without any plugins). No problem at all, working perfectly. Then I restarted again and started MP in debug mode, this time with plugins. No problem again! After that I checked the checkbox in configuration again, restarted and the problem wasn't there this time. Was MCE standby tool causing the problem? Time will tell...

Many thanks for giving this clue! For many months I was trying to figure out what was causing this error and viola - it was the MCE Standby tool. Uninstalling it helped me get rid of this annoying error screen.
Mediaportal 1.1.0.

Looks like I was wrong. The error is still with me Don't know what to do to fix it ((

I have a similar problem. Mine will never crash in debug mode regardless of having my plugins enabled or not. As soon as I launch MP normally, it crashes. I don't use the MCE Standby tool either.

There is one more thing which I missed, my MediaPortal shortcut in EventGhost had a zero "working directory". I've changed it to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal and the problem is gone.

Great, I also use Eventghost and have nothing set in the working directory for launching MP. I'll edit mine and see how it goes.

Ok, this definitely seems like a EventGhost problem as from a quick test, I only get the crash if I launch MP via my remote via EG. For me, setting a working directory didn't make a difference. However, changing the window mode to "normal window" from "maximised" seems to have done the trick.

I'll post back after a couple of days to confirm.

Edit: Solved
