[QUOTE="SimondusMaximus, post: 715220, member: 100676"] Hi mate. On the 1st post you asked a way to get to the desktop on a MP freeze - just press ctrl+shift+escape and that'll open task manager directly. From there you can simply end the MediaPortal task and be back to your desktop right away. No idea what's causing your freeze though, sorry. All I can add is that I've had quite a few different problems after doing windows updates in the past. I actually don't do them anymore. I install Windows 7, say No to applying any automatic updates, then disable it, and I only install or update the drivers and software I actually need so it's as clean as possible.

Of course, if you want to stick with Windows Updates then use System Restore and you can easily revert back to your pre-updated system state. Sorry I can't be of any more help. Si [/QUOTE]
