[QUOTE="TBacker, post: 835607, member: 113933"] Not sure if it helps, but... I have been using MP on Windows XP. I decided to try XBMC on the same machine with Windows 7. I wiped the drive, loaded Windows 7 Ultimate and installed all Microsoft updates to current. Then I loaded XBMC (the same version I had tested on my desktop machine) and immediately had problems with it hesitating and completely freezing at random, unrelated, places. It had run fine on my desktop. It would always freeze within the first 5-10 minutes of use. Windows continued to run fine underneath, but I had to use task manager to kill XBMC. I decided to reload Windows 7 again, with the same result. I then decided to uninstall XBMC and go back to MP on the same Windows 7 installation. Guess what - MP did the same thing! I'm thinking there is an issue with Windows 7 or a recent patch. My next step is to reload Windows 7 and video drivers without patches and see what happens. Ugh! Fortunately I imaged my MediaPortal XP installation, so I do have a safe way to get back to normal when I start feeling like throwing things... [/QUOTE]
