Hello and welcome!

Always nice to help a fellow Kiwi.

Windows application event log says:

So, I can only guess that you've configured a music share that does not exist. Since you only have 2 music shares, it must be either "E:\" or "F:\Music".

Hey thanks for the warm welcome, and the good advice! I think the problem was that I had never accessed those shares in explorer, so access had never been granted (this is a very recent install). After accessing them in Explorer Mediaportal starts up fine. My next mission is to resolve my AV sync issues
