Hi Guys I have a big issue.. and nobody can explain or fix..

It is extremly crazy.. I have installed a new PC, first MCE, SP2 all fixes from Microsoft, FFMPEG, DivX 6.5.1, Soundcard, Displaydrivers...

MP 0.2.2.0 .. and .. everything worked.. connected via VGA to my 20" LCD (EIZO)in the office,
I connected the PC (no changes, just shut it down) to my Plasma 42" (HP) in the office.. and ... everything worked fine..

and now.. I took the PC .. drove home.. connected the same PC to my 50" Plasma (Cytronix) at home at the VGA POrt.. and I get an error messages that this program cannot run windowed, I should reset the resolution to 16- or 32-bit... and MP will be closed.

When I reconnect it to my plasma in the office .. everything is fine .. it works with the same resolution ..

Can anybody help????

hi huma.. I am using MP 0.2.2.0 with the actual SVN, but the problem occured also with MP 0.2.2.0 stable release.

I tested it until today with two different PCs, just did a plain install

1) Windows MCE 2005
2) actual Servicepacks
3) just two Codecs (FFMPEG and DivX 6.5.1)
4) MediaPortal

I left all default settings...

and finally the only Screen it is not running is the 50" Plasma

I tested it now with different HP and Eizo and one Sony Screen..

the same PC , no changes... works...

Thnx for the help...

Solution...

finally I've got it...

after three different PCs with different Graphics Adapters


The Microsoft Plug and Play Monitor inf reported obviously wrong data to MP.

The Solution:

Take Powerstrip, read Monitor Data directly from Device
Write new INF-File and install this new Monitor.


Maybe somebody else will find this helpful...
