I apologize in advance if I appear clueless. I've been a programmer for many many years but seem to have the worst luck with computers.
Just installed MediaPortal (for single-seat operation, i.e. install both server and client) and I can't get it to work. The installation said it completed ok, but when I run the configuration utility, TV/Radio TV-Server settings it says "Unable to get data from TV server on host "MyComputer". Sure enough, the TVService isn't running. It appears in the list of available services but is not running. If I try to start it manually I get a long delay then an error message: Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
I tried starting the TV-Server Configuration and after a long delay I got a message box:
Failed to startup tvserviceSystem.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: Requested Service not found
Server stack trace:

I don't see anything notable in the Windows event logs.
