[QUOTE="RichieB, post: 293413, member: 74354"] Hi Ray, No Windows updates were installed before the first occurrence of the problem (I have manual updates enabled). However, after re-installing MP the first time, nine windows updates were installed and everything was still fine with MP at that point. No further updates occurred prior to the second playback failure, so I don't think it had anything to do with that. As far as any other software goes, I only use this PC as our media centre, so I have not installed any further apps prior to the problem occurring. MP was working fine with what was installed up until that point. I also ran the "filmerit" application to check my installed codecs and although it found several problems, it did not solve the problem. I also disabled my firewall/anti-virus (ZoneAlarm), thinking something may have changed/updated there - again no joy. The only thing that worked was re-installing MP. Now, I've just spent the last hour re-installing MP again (with the above-mentioned updates) and all is well again. On that note, exactly which MP configuration files need to be backed-up to restore all my settings upon re-installation of MP? I backed-up all the *.XML files, but still had to configure several things (TV server name, file locations, etc). This is a pain if I need to re-install MP periodically. Thanks for your time - I really do not want to abandon MP as its worked great so far. Best Regards Richard [/QUOTE]
