Hi folks,

My system was running fine until I wanted to add a shortcut with MultiShortcut (v1.4 on mp 1.0.2).
Like done more then once, I copied the 'source' dll file, renamed it, ran DLLFix.exe and added the necessary info in the shortcut/plugin.

I disabled all the plugins, restarted machine but no difference.
Running DLLFix again doesn't fix it either.

This is from the error.log (don't know if this was in it before)

2010-04-29 17:46:06.250000 [ERROR][MPMain]: Exception :Error in the application.
2010-04-29 17:46:06.250000 [ERROR][MPMain]: site :Void BeginScene()
2010-04-29 17:46:06.250000 [ERROR][MPMain]: source :Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D

at MediaPortalApp.Render(Single timePassed)​

There is enough free diskspace & went through the steps in watchdog so the logfiles are cleaned.

Any idea what might be wrong or how I can solve this issue?

TIA!
