I've put so much into trying to get this to work that I'm at my wits end. I've installed XBMC successfully on a variety of computers, but no version (Dharma or Eden) will work on my new Laptop:
Logfile from Eden:
http://pastebin.com/BD07R9CD
It's a Asus GX74,
Windows 7,
64 bit
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M
Intel i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz
will fully up to date drivers for everything
Fully fresh XBMC installs. Old versions fully purged.
[Running Dharma]:
Total crash - nothing happens at all. xbmc.exe hangs. pulling up Task Manager takes about 30 seconds, will eventually appear, but not respond. Hard Reset of machine required as machine freezes after maybe a minute of instability.
Tried all variations of compatibility modes and ran as Administrator
A couple of times I did succeed in getting it running by launching the program from a command prompt rather than double clicking the exe, but usually trying to run from command prompt leads to a crash. No rhyme or reason.
Installed the Vista drivers for video card as another thread said that would help. Drivers installed, no effect - still crashed.
I could never get a logfile for Dharma because it always crashed without writing one. Eden at least solved that:
[Running Eden]:
Welcome screen loads, but nothing ever happens. Machine is hanging, Task Manager will not respond. Hard reset required.
It's driving me crazy that I have this beast of a machine that simply wont run any version of XBMC, whilst my crapola Dell HTPC works fine with a Pentium 4!!!
Please please someone tell me what to do with this!
Thanks!
