[QUOTE="mihooper, post: 779506, member: 115077"] mm, Ooops! Rookie mistake. You are correct. I was trying to start MP client, not MP server. FYI, when the initialization screen appears frozen, it is actually a warning window beneath the MP window that is waiting to be clicked "OK". However the PC appears to be locked. This should be moot since this should never happen (unless you are a rookie:)) The real cause for the confusion was that I did not have MP server installed on my HTPC. The reason it was not installed was that when I was asked "Will you run TV from this PC?" during installation, I said "no" thinking the question had something to do with my graphics card. Since I was not going to use the HTPC to display video, I answered "no" which told the installer not to download MP server. Perhaps you could add some verbiage in the installer to clarify this question (for rookies). I now have MP server up and running!! First impressions are very favorable! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the help. MikeH [/QUOTE]
