Thanks for getting back to me. I agree I have quite a few variables. The shift from 32 bit to 64 bit is the most time consuming as from what I read the advice is to nuke the existing installation and then have to install from fresh. With all the skin settings and other personalisations that takes quite a while. I have no issues doing that if that's what's needed.

The path of least resistance is maybe just update the client from 1.33 to 1.35, still 32 bit and see what happens. If it's no different then I could try a 64 bit install. But I'm just asking incase someone knows exactly what's compatible with what.

It almost feels like 3 versions of media portal now. Version 1 32 bit, version 1 64 and version 2, which I never gelled with. Anyhow, won't do much tonight, I'm exhausted.

On your second point above, I'm not sure exactly what database the TV server is using, but assume it's my SQL. How can I tell?

Don't you love computers...

Thanks again, des in Northern Ireland, UK.
