[QUOTE="Tsaukpaetra, post: 968905, member: 137447"] Yeah sorry, it seems this community is kinda quiet. I'm having my own issues and not one person spoke up. ;) No worries though, hopefully someone will be able to help. MySQL is the recommended database engine afaik, did you make sure to uninstall MySQL before attempting to reinstall MediaPortal? If you tried to remove MySQL manually (it appears so, you mention removing references to MySQL using the registry; this is a bad idea for more reasons than I can tell you), there might still be stuff left over. I would recommend that you try installing MySQL Manually (installer is in the deploy folder that the MediaPortal Installer runs from, may be in your Temp directory) and see if having it preinstalled will help. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
