[QUOTE="jpcoh1, post: 1302733, member: 165238"] It is a bit of a long story! I successfully installed MP2 on my old PC as client/server with client on my laptop to confirm my choice of this programme before buying a new PC. Everything worked very well. I installed MP2 on the new PC as client/server and all was fine, but the laptop client would not connect to the server. I tried my usual "trick" of trying to uninstall MP2 to see if reinstalling it would solve the problem. Uninstallation failed and the PC said there was an error and needed to restart. This happened every time I tried to repeat the uninstallation. My next thought was to delete all the files and folders of MP2 using Explorer, but this also failed as it reported that some of the files were in use. In desperation, I tried rebooting the PC into Safe Mode and this time managed to delete all the programme files in MP2. I also uninstalled MariaDB using Windows uninstall as I thought it had been put on my system by MP during the first installation and would be replaced if necessary in a clean new installation. This reinstallation of MP2 was not wholly successful. There was no icon on my desktop to launch the TV server configuration. I checked that the folder with all the TV server files was installed using Explorer and tried to run MP2-server.exe. This also failed with error message about installutil.exe not being present which is way outside my level of understanding. Next step was to uninstall MP2 again (successfully) and then install MP1. This went well until the pop up window asked about database connections and the test button produced no successful [ATTACH type="full"]216677[/ATTACH]result with either option. (see image attached) I downloaded and installed MariaDB from the web and tried again with the same result. After completing the installation, I found a shortcut to launch server configuration, but this produced the familiar error message about the SQL database (see second image). I am at my wits end because I do not understand enough about the error messages to be able to work out a solution. I have given details of the history of my actions in case some of the steps I have tried have caused the latest problem [/QUOTE]
