Watch Video/Listen to Music then Watch TV = Crash (1 Viewer)

[Airw0lf]

Using MP 1.4.0 I have encountered a weird issue. If I start up MP and then watch TV straight away then I have no issues. However, if I do something else like watch a video or listen to music then try to watch TV I will get a crash and get bounced back to the desktop.

It doesn't seem to matter which MPEG-2 codec I use to watch TV either.

The only good thing is I suppose I can reproduce this issue every time. Attached is one set of crash logs, but I have others as well, and could recreate more on request.

Doesn't look like anyone has any ideas?

Well after much headscratching I think I've fixed the issue by updating my Skystar 2 drivers. Everything used to run fine with previous MP versions but clearly the newer driver works better with MP 1.4.

Ahhh, so now I see why you're fiddling.
With MP 1.4 and XP, make sure you've installed this patch:

...and keep in mind that support for XP is on its way out. Actually it is all but gone, so you'd be recommended to think about upgrading to W7 or stick with MP 1.3 (if you have issues with MP 1.4 even after installing the patch). Note the patch will be included in MP 1.5.

Thanks for paying attention . Yup I've got the Xp fix and yes I intend to upgrade to Win7 soon...
