Hi, I downloaded Media Portal, (would like to move away from WMC) and everything seemed to be working fine. I was in the middle of scanning for channels on my Hauppauge 2250 tuner cards, when my computer blue-screened. After I restarted, TVServer won't start (but the regular media portal works fine, if I disable TVServer) I tried completely removing Media Portal and re-installing it, but I get the same error. Here is the error log that gets generated; I have no idea what it means.
Thank you for all your help.
