[QUOTE="Ex_Brit, post: 341183, member: 85389"] There appears something wrong with the website and/or the application. Yesterday I was getting extremely slow responses in XP to everything so uninstalled MediaPortal and cleaned the registry of all entries. XP immediately perked up. (XP Pro SP3 x86 fully updated) but it was heavily fragmented and there was over 1gb of files to cleanup in Windows System Maintenance. Is this normal for this application? This morning I installed directly from SourceForge and it appeared that the installation went fine, except it takes you to an instructional page where I was reading something about my needing a DVB plugin for "anyone with a TV card" when suddenly the page closed and any plug-in or add-on connected with IE7 had to close and send Microsoft a report. Never had that happen before, not with multiple applications anyway. It still isn't seeing my TV Tuner Card....it did on the original installation. Now to the previous post about TV Server...when I try the "Test" button connection fails and it says that user has no database or words to that effect. The default user is "sa" - should I be trying something else? Is there a link to that page that suddenly vanished please after installation? Printed instructions would be better than me darting between page after page trying to find hints.:S Each time I install this it seems to have a different problem. Now MediaPortal itself opens but then immediately crashes saying it has a problem if I try to open Settings. (Log attached) Also when I'm rebooting XP refuses to shut down saying csc.exe needs to close OK? I click OK and it pops up again. In the end I have to hard reboot. From my research: CSC.exe: Command line compiler for Microsoft C# it gets installed with the .NET SDK Unless you can suggest a miracle, I'm going to scrap this whole thing as a failed experiment.
