Xbmc crash when starting it - Flappz - 2008-09-05

Hi Everyone;
I have been using XBMC for years on the Xbox but tonight I installed it on my XP SP3 machine...
As soon as a window opens, it crashes before it will display anything.
I cannot figure out what the deal is, the crash report will not give me anything useful.
Anyone?
Phil

Check the debug log. It's usually due to crappy GL drivers.

Hey;
Im new to the M$ version,
Where is the Debug log and how do I fix this?
Im a PC geek since 1994 but this is a new piece of software for me.
Sorry

Yep - due to crappy GL drivers. GL v 1.1 isn't enough. You'll need to update your graphics drivers.

I will work on that...
I figured it was something else seing that the KB is what failed.
Wheres the best place for the drivers? NVidia.com?

PS. Keep This shit up, you guys are making great stuff, expect to be bugged by me in the future

- WinterMuteAu - 2008-09-05

Flappz: press the \ key to change to full screen, but best bet is in settings to change screen & video player to your fullscreen resolution. That'll get around any silliness from the video player playing in a different res to your screen

Create a shortcut and add "-fs -p" after the target. Mine is:

"C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe" -fs -p

Second, take a look inside XBMC under "Settings>Appearence>Screen>Resolution" Change it to your resolution, and there should be a "Full screen" option

i can understand a gui nerd having issues with dos commands, but a dos nerd having issues with a gui?!? LOL

- Flappz - 2008-09-05

cmon now, im 25 but my first PC was a 80286 w/ DOS 5.0 and Win 3.0 I like commands from time to time, plus im used to XBMC on the XBOX so thats the big difference.

Yes if nvidia is the graphic controller hardware that you have, ...what hardware do you have?

It keeps crashing after i close it in Windows Vista as well (SP1). Very annoying! It's because resolution in XBMC is a lot higher than the one i set in windows, and when it defaults down it crashes.

I get the same problem wíth another error. It works fine when I set up the machine at 1680*1050 but when I connect it to my projector I get the following error when trying to set either 720p 16:9 or 1280*720 (full screen)

Code:
23:15:44 T:696 M:817876992   DEBUG: Constructing surface 1280x720, shared=00000000, fullscreen=1
23:15:44 T:696 M:817860608   ERROR: GL: Critical Error. Could not initialise GL Extension Wrangler Library

Anyone got any idea on what could be wrong?
