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.

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

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

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.
