[QUOTE="arran, post: 345878, member: 85543"] Hi all, I am experimenting with a dell c840 laptop as a mediaportal client accessing TV server running on a dell optiplex gx270 with dvico fusion dvb-t plus single tuner. I was getting a rasterizer error: 'Switching to the reference rasterizer, a software device that implements the entire Direct3D feature set, but runs very slowly' then after OK get: 'Warning, nothing will be rendered. The reference rendering device, but, your computer only has a reduced-functionality reference device installed. Install the directx sdk to get the full reference device. A software device that implements the entire direct3d feature set, but runs very slowly.' I can make this go away if I turn the screen resolution down. Running the native 1600 1280 media portal throws the error and will not start. Turning screen down to 1400 1120 media portal starts fine and tv streaming full screen works perfectly (if not little sluggish as I am running on a somewhat underspecced machine) [b]TV-Server Version[/b]: [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 1.0 RC4 [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: Blue, standard rc4 [b]Windows Version[/b]: XP SP3 [b]CPU Type[/b]: dell c840 1.6G P4 [b]HDD[/b]: 40G samsung [b]Memory[/b]: 512MB [b]Motherboard[/b]: dell c840 [b]Video Card[/b]: mx440Go [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: [b]Sound Card[/b]: [b]Sound Card AC3[/b]: [b]Sound Card Driver[/b]: [b]1.
