what is your motherboard chipset. Is it an 690G/X1250 type mother board?. Have a read of this in the Mediaportal FAQ wiki. FrequentlyAskedQuestions - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation

Hi!

My motherboard is a GigaByte GA-MA69VM-S2 / AMD 690V chipset. GIGABYTE - Support - Motherboard - CPU Support List - GA-MA69VM-S2 (rev. 1.0)

I think that It is a DirtectX9 mobo. Them I update the DirectX9 with these link: Detalhes do download: DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers

The issue persist!

charli & noxx, thank you for your help.

I'll try:

MediaPortal Freezes/Locks Up within seconds of the GUI showing on Windows XP ONLY.A current problem with 690G chipset / x1250 GPU has the inability to perform a certain standard .NET 2 function called reflections ("FLIPX" or "FLIPY"). MediaPortal uses this standard function frequently throughout its skins. The desktop appears to freeze or lockup but navigation through the GUI is still occuring only noticible through sounds events only. Changing between fullscreen on windowed mode (by pressing ALT & ENTER) will refresh the GUI to the navigation key strokes pressed after the freeze/lockup but will freeze/lockup again within seconds.. NOTE:- This only occurs on operating systems with Windows XP (all Service Packs). To resolve this issue, drivers of Catalyst Control Center (CCC) 7.2 or lower must be used. Alternatively, if the later drivers are used/required, modified skin files can be used which do not use this standard .NET 2 feature and will elimate the freeze/lockup issue. These can be found in the following forum thread, https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/ati-690g-x1250-problems-29894/

This is not an issue with MediaPortal but with the chipset itself as Windows VIsta users do not suffer this issue.

Thankyou all who replied.

Although driver 7.2 with Catalyst Control Centre (aka CCC) disabled (not running on startup) worked, I can confirm ;

7.10 works with CCC enabled after replacing flipy="true" with flipy="false" in all skin xml files.
(7.10 seems to be much better than 7.2 especially since i can now run 1360x768)
And disabling hot keys in the CCC is a good idea

And I can recommend this simple free tool to do a batch search and replace ;
TurboNote+ -- TurboSR Search and Replace
