I'm unable to get XBMC to run in Windows XP. I have Nvidia Geforce4 MX GPU and have the latest drivers. I'm pretty sure they are open GL 1.4.

When I run Xbmc I get a blank window. I can close the window ok. When I pass the mouse across the window it dissapears and then reappears when it passes the window.

I think it's running ok but I just can't see anything as the PC doesn't lock up.

Any clues.

BTW, I've had similar problems trying to run it in Ubuntu on the same machine.

I don't think a Nvidia Gforce 4MX will run XBMC.

PLeasse check this thread for more information: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=37794 and http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_for_Win...or_XBMC.3F

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_...enGLSpec-1 Says the MX4 only supports OpenGL 1.2, so you will need to upgrade your video card to run fully. A 6200 or better should do the trick.

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for info like the comparison chart everywhere, but couldn't find it. I guess I'm looking at an upgrade to my video card to make it work. It may be cheaper and easier just to get another xbox.

Cheers.
