I installed a few new skins on my MP today wich all went ok. Restarted to do some tweaking on music stuff. still ok.

Then I decided to install some new visualizations. I downloaded and isntalle some vis files into MP, at the same time I also turned on upmixing of stereo and turned on gapless playback. This was ALL I did after turnign off MP this time. When I tried starting up now, it crashes immediately after starting up.

I have removed the vis files and set visualization to none in config, and turned off upmixing and gapless again.

I also hit all the remove/delete thumb buttons in the config tool since the error says soemthing about icons, but I fail at understanding the log. So I'm hopign someone else can help me figure out what's wrong from this log file.

My experience is that when it has a solution, it's usually right.
