Hi, i've been using the beta Dharma 3 on my PC using Windows 7 64-bit, all works 100%. I installed XBMC Dharma 3 about a week ago on my laptop using Windows 7 32-bit ultimate and all worked no problems. I had to format and start the laptop with a fresh installation. After a clean install, I tried installing XBMC on my Fujitsu Siemens laptop again (Windows 7 Prof 32-bit this time not Ultimate) using the latest downloadable xbmc file. (9.11) It successfully installs it the & Direct X and upon start up it crashes (quick blue/black screen flash) and it restarts with the usual win7 error report.
I have tried to look up the log file under AppData, Roaming, Xbmc but can find nothing as it hasn't ever loaded up.
I have also tried the beta Dharma 3 version that works on my PC, I get the same crash. I am running it in different RES's all 32-bit and nothing changes.
It's a fairly 'old' laptop (Fujitsu Siemens) that has a ATI Radeon X300 card, 2Gb Ram and a 1.86GhZ Centrino chip. I don't think its the spec, I am really baffled and can't seem to troubleshoot the problem. It is possibly graphic drivers? I'm trying all sorts of things and have looked up in the forum and can't find a solution to this. :confused2:
Please steer me in the right direction.
Thanks
