[QUOTE="opentoideas, post: 368243, member: 87859"] well - no joy :( this is a bit of a show stopper for me as I have a couple of old laptops/pc's that I use in other rooms that although old are more than capable of being used as media pc's. unfortunately the DX9 requirement has rulled out Mediaportal for me. I don't suppose there are any older versions that dont need DX9? I guess that puts me back to Vista media center and the pain of trying to get that to work nicely. thanks for the help and if I change my hardware in future I may well be back:thx: P.S. it may be helpfull to clarify the hardware requirements as they currently have : Requirements for running MediaPortal and/or the TV-ServerCPU: Intel P4 with 2.0 GHz / AMD XP-2000+ or above Memory: 1024 MB Video card: DirectX 9 compatible video card with at least 128 MB of video memory such as: ATI Radeon series (9600 and above or X300 and above) NVIDIA GeForce, GeForce FX (5200 or above) and NForce series [B][COLOR="Red"]Intel Extreme Graphics 2 [/COLOR][/B](integrated i865G) which although the i865G may be DX9 I now know mine is not - though it was not easy to find [/QUOTE]
