[QUOTE="markrb, post: 230133, member: 19996"] I am trying to run the latest stable 0.2.3 on a fresh install of XP pro. I have no issue getting into the configuration program, but when I start MP it just freezes on initializing directx. I have read every thread I could find here on this and did everything in them to try and resolve it, but all for not. The last line in the log just states "initializing directx" Now the funny part is that if I use ctrl-alt-del to get the task manager up MP will continue to load (this is the only way to get it beyond initializing directx) however the computer is far from stable at this point and not usable. I have done the following to try and track the issue: 1. Tried 3 different Nvidia video drivers. 2. Re-installed a fresh XP 3 times. 3. Ran a thorough virus and malware check. 4. Ran Prime95 stress test for 24hours to eliminate computer hardware. 5. played videos through both PowerDVD 7 and WMP. 6. Ran 3dmark06 to test hardware. 7. Ran DXdiag and all tests passed. I have been running MP for over a year now and have become dependent on it. This all started when I replaced the CPU with a faster one and did a fresh install of XP at the same time. I can't see it being hardware after all the stress tests I have put the PC under and it passed with flying colors. I need my MP please help. Thanks, Mark [/QUOTE]
