Stuck on Initializing DirectX (1 Viewer)

[vvulture]

Hi all..
My dedicated HTPC client will not go past the " Initializing DirectX' screen when booting up.
I get an error which reads :

" This sample cannot run in a desktop
window with the current display settings.
Please change your desktop settings to a
16- or 32-bit display mode and re-run this
sample. "

If i close this error pop-up and restart MP, all is good again, until i reboot the HTPC .
Also, i am running 32-bit display mode with Aero enabled.

So far, i have :
- Updated MP from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2
- Re-installed DirectX
- Un-installed and re-installed display drivers

It first happened with Vista SP1... When i updated to SP2 the problem went away until a fews days later when it re-appeared out of the blue...

I have attached my logs for all to see...

I am running multiseat setup and the problem HTPC being a dedicated client...


thank you

Hi,
do you have this problem only at startup of Windows with MP autostart enabled? Do you have ATi Gfx card?
