[QUOTE="DragonQ, post: 970683, member: 115209"] I'm having a problem trying to restart MediaPortal using a VB.NET program run via PS++. Basically, if the argument "wakeup" is passed, then the program does this (simplified): [code]'Kill MP For Each MP As Process In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("MediaPortal") MP.Kill() MP.WaitForExit(5000) Next 'Stop TV Service For Each TVService As Process In System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("TvService") TVService.Kill() TVService.WaitForExit(5000) Next 'Start TV Service Dim myService As ServiceController = (From svc In ServiceController.GetServices() Where svc.ServiceName = "TVService").ToArray()(0) myService.Start() myService.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, New TimeSpan(0, 0, 10)) 'Start MP Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo p.FileName = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\MediaPortal.exe" Process.Start(p)[/code] Everything works fine up until starting MediaPortal. Every time it gets to this point, it launches MediaPortal (and it appears in Task Manager) but nothing appears on the screen. The logs show this: [code]D3D: Exception: Generic application error.[/code] The weird thing is: [LIST] [*] Even if I start a batch file that launches MediaPortal instead of launching MediaPortal directly, the same thing happens. [*] The code above for starting MediaPortal works fine when run directly, rather than via PS++.

[/LIST] So basically it looks to be something related to the fact that my VB.NET program is being launched from PS++. Could it be a permissions issue or something? [/QUOTE]
