[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1146062, member: 141969"] This post is potentially a case of the blind leading the blind, and if you follow the advice below, your system may end up in a worse mess than it is now. However, some points: (0) If you have not already done so, create a system image of your operating-system drive, so that you can restore it if things go wrong. (1) Did you install MP1 or MP2? The developers working on MP2 are rightly proud of their efforts, but there are many other MP experts who would recommend that you install MP1 in the first instance, as it is a more mature and more stable product. MP 1.12 is the current stable version of MP1. Whichever version you have installed, [i]uninstall it and reboot[/i]. (2) MP uses other tools/products that are outside its control. Consequently, things do not always work as smoothly as one would like. A specific example of this is the SQL system used by MP. (3) If you already have MySQL installed, when you attempt to install MP 1.12 [i]ensure that MySQL is [b]deselected[/b] for installation[/i]. (4) Also ensure that you have the internet accessed during installation. (5) Your TBS tuners are fully supported by MP, and should work without problem (I use TBS 6284 tuners). (6) When I first installed MP, it took two attempts to achieve a successful install. Last week I did an upgrade install (from 1.9 to 1.12), and that took [i]four attempts[/i] to achieve a successful install [sigh]. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
