[QUOTE="V8 VANTAGE, post: 680186, member: 108415"] Hi, i'm new here and to MP :) I have just built my HTPC, and am having troubles with Mediaportal. I have installed Windows XP SP3 x86 on there which was supplied for free by my university because of its alliance with Microsoft, so its a legal copy. However I wish to set Mediaportal to run at startup. When I do this though, my PC gets stuck on the Windows XP "Welcome screen", yet I can hit the windows button on the keyboard and I can still access the start menu. Media-portal seems to running behind the welcome screen/desktop if that makes any sense :S Here is my HTPC specs just in case: *REFURB* Hiper HMC-2K53A-H2 chassis with MSI MSI K9NGM2 motherboard AMD Athlon x2 5600+ 2.9ghz 2GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800mhz Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200RPM drive Sony Optiarc AD7673s dvd slot loading drive Nvidia Geforce 6150 DX9 compatible integrated graphics Hiper Media Center Remote Hauppage PCTV Nanostick 290E DVB-T2 Freeview/Freeview HD tuner (on order) Windows XP Professional SP3 32bit X86 (clean install as of yesterday) :) Software installed: Mediaportal v1.1 with Black Glass HD theme, standard plugins AMD Cool 'n' Quiet drivers Hiper Media Center VFD drivers Hiper Media Center Remote drivers Google Chrome Wi-Fi drivers Avast! 5 Free Edition antivirus WMP11 for Windows XP Net Framework 2 thats about it..... Hope you can help me out or suggest another OS for me to use? :thx: [/QUOTE]
