Hello, I'm having a couple of issues with MediaPortal. I hope you can help me
Since a few days ago, I'm having a problem with MediaPortal I wasn't having previously. I've always had enabled the option to start MediaPortal when Windows starts, and it has always worked fine. But now, every time I start Windows, when MediaPortal tries to start I get the message you can see in the included attachment below. After hitting "Aceptar" (which is the "OK" button in Spanish Windows), then the screen goes blank, and MediaPortal doesn't show anything in the screen. But if I press ALT+F4, then the non-functioning MediaPortal application closes, and when I try to run it again, then it works! (I don't get any message that time, and the program works fine).
How can this be possible?. Since MediaPortal starts at the startup of Windows, maybe MediaPortal starts too early before some Windows drivers are properly loaded? (just a guess). I hope you can make out what's happening in my machine every time I boot it, when MediaPortal tries to start. This started happening some days ago, and I don't remember installing anything.
The second issue I'm having is that programmed recordings never start. Do I have to be in TV mode or is it enough to have MediaPortal running with the main menu on screen?.
