[QUOTE="mnmus, post: 404512, member: 89512"] [b]database password[/b] My problem's different. After a screwy update (long story: let's just say NOTHING worked as advertised), finally got to the "Setup databse connection" dialog box, entered my password, clicked on "Test" and got an OK, then... the "Save" button "works" in that it lets me press it but... NOTHING else happens, and if I exit, the info is NOT saved, and I can go no further configuring the TVServer, Nada, zip, zilch, a big zero with the rim kicked off. From a working MediaPortal 1.0.0 to a completely unusable install in one nightmare "update". What's screwed up and how can I fix it? Win7 beta, (setup--when finally the "update" had SNAFUed beyond all imagining--run in Vista compatibility mode, as required for the MP 1.0.0.0 setup), Hauppaugge WinTV1800, etc., all working just hunky dory before the "update" now toast. :( Update: Well, after an hour and 45 minutes of fiddling around, finally, by running EVERYTHING--TVServer Config, MP Config and even MP itself--as [I]administrator[/I] (something not required previously),AND further editing Windows Firewall (something MP setup [I]SAID[/I] it had already done) most things work again.
