[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1146509, member: 141969"] There is clearly something unusual about either your hardware, or the other software that you have installed, or the settings that you have changed in Windows. But how to find it...? :confused: At this point, if I were determined to get MP working, I would probably do the following: (1) Create an image of the system drive (C: ). (2) Boot the Windows DVD and go to the command line. (3) Format the C: drive to ensure that there is nothing left of the old installation. (4) Install Windows. (5) Install drivers for the motherboard devices (most boards with Intel chipsets require this). (6) Install device drivers for other essential devices (e.g. the TV tuners, WiFi adapter). (7) Install all Windows updates. (8) [b]Resist the temptation to install anything else at all![/b] (no applications, no games, no utilities, no antivirus, no firewall (the built-in Windows firewall is adequate)). (9) Install MP 1.12, allowing MySQL to install. If your PC is a multi-use PC, and you have many other essential applications and data on your C: drive, the above process may be less than appealing. :( However, if you [i]create an image of your C: drive first[/i], you can restore it after performing the above test. If you already have WMC installed, do you really need to migrate to MP? Many users are doing so because they want to migrate to Windows 10, but you could stay with Windows 7/8/8.1, and continue to use WMC. The EPG fiasco that is currently afflicting WMC users in the USA has not (yet) arrived in the UK, and in the UK Windows 7/8/8.1 can use the EPG that is broadcast with the TV signals. (Note: the broadcast EPG is not a good as the internet EPG, but it is usable.) -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
