Thanks for bearing with me so far.

Unfortunately updating the driver did not work.

The driver update went smoothly, and the new driver details are all there under Display in the Device Manager, and Standard VGA has now been replaced by Mobile Intel© 945 Express Chipset family, ver: 7.14.10.1504

I uninstalled xbmc, then reinstalled (as Administrator), then once installed I started it, but the same error message

Log file is appended for info:

Did I miss anything?

PS I have the DXDiag log file, if that helps

Try using VNC or logging in to the server interactively. You *might* be able to get XBMC running over RDP by fiddling with some settings, but you need to get XBMC running before you can change the settings.

Speedwrench Wrote:I figured out my problem......it was the generic PNP windows 7 video display driver causing th eCApplication::Create() failed error .
I went to Nvidia and downloaded latest driver for my video adapter for windows 7 , rebooted and now XBMC works.

This worked for me I went to HP's site and downloaded the display drivers for my system and it worked like a charm. Thanks for the help

I am sure my error was caused by Logmein and/or its mirror driver that deactivated DirectX. I was getting this error off and on and uninstalling and reinstalling video drivers usually worked. But I uninstalled Logmein 4+ weeks ago and haven't had an issue since.

I get this error message when trying to open xbmc (Dharma 1.1) using a normal user account. With elevated permissions (run as administrator) ... no problem.

Seems to be a permission thing in my case. Any ideas what to look for? What folders should at least be writable for XBMC to function?

Unless you're running in portable mode you should be able to run XBMC as an ordinary user. XBMC stores all info in your user profile directory. If you're running in poprtable mode you need write access to "C:\Program Files\XBMC".

JR

Installed, not portable. I am using folder redirection (so the profile folder is stored on a network share rather than the 'users' folder), but that shouldn't make a difference.

Where can I find the log file. I haven't been able to find that one...

RedTop Wrote:Where can I find the log file. I haven't been able to find that one...

Press Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

%appdata%\xbmc

and click OK, and it should open an Explorer window containing xbmc.log and various XBMC related directories. I have a vague recollection that a redirected users folder has caused problems before.

JR

Unfortunately no log file there. Apparently XBMC doesn't play nice with a redirected appdata folder.

However, you provided a workaround here:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=776875

That probably explains the vague recollection.

A patch has been released as well and is marked for the 9.10 release. http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/6651

I guess that one didn't make it?
