i have a windows 7 ultimate machine with the radeon 6310 driver chipset for the amd e350 gnu.
when i try to open xbmc i get the "unable to create gui" error and i cant find a way around it.

any ideas?
just downloaded and installed xbmc tonight.

Updating the graphics driver may help.

I actually got it to work. By installing a build from 9/9 and installing to c drive directly.
But I am noticing that even dvdrip movies are choppy. Is there a way to make xbox use the gpu?
I know when I use vlc I had to turn on an option so that it uses the gpu and after that any bdrip would play fine.

Any thoughts?

Also I noticed that when I click on some movies it asks me to type the letters on the screen and I do but then nothing plays.

Note that I'm using the ice films addon

If movies are choppy then check the audio settings.

my main media center is e350 based and i have no single issue with it. it plays almost everything i throw on it without any doubts.
i do not use any addons.

about ice films, see this topic, it is extremely useful in your situation.
