Crash at Startup

[jollyassjerk]

Hello, brand new to the alpha team, and quite excited. I have a self built cheapo micro atx computer. I'm running with the integrated video, which does have OpenGL 1.4. I have the VGA attached to a flatscreen TV (if that matters). The Motherboard has a SiS 761 chipset and an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ . The video is Integrated SiS 330, with a SiS Mirage Adapter. I asm running XP Professional SP3. 1 gig ram.

I let windows update the Adapter to the latest, and there are no newer updates for the Chipset/IGP.

I have reinstalled Boxee a few times, including trying to install it on an external hard drive with more room.

I never see anything happen until I get the windows Send Error dialog. I notice that a Boxee app is on the Taskbar for about a second, and my mouse disappears, but that's it...

Notice it does indeed have OpenGL 1.4.0. I'm not sure what all of the mapping drives is about, but it seems to work. The only error related stuff that I can see is the nonexisting XML files. Should I create fake ones? Are they important to starting Boxee? Should Boxee have created those?

I knew that my computer wasn't a hot rod or anything, but it's decent enough to run something like this.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

[marcel]

please could you send me your full debug logs and crash reporter..

[SomaCat]

I'm using a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop. 1GB Memory
I can run many TV players.
My log looks just like yours. Fails trying to load ...\BOXEE\UserData\sources.xml

[marcel]

graphic card??? crash reporter?

[SomaCat]

I'm just getting a quick flashing screen then Boxee disappears.
My graphics card is Mobil Intel(R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
PCI bus 0, device 2, function 0
Intel Driver iahmnt5.sys Ver 6.14.10.4446 2005/12/13

There is no crashdump or other file I can find.
There's nothing in the Windows Application or System log of interest.
Can you be more specific for what other logs or files I should be looking for.

I've included my BOXEE.LOG file below --

Here is the complete Boxee error log ( the one above was complete, (it dies right after loading language stuff!!) and I also attached the windows error log. I am not aware of any IGP error logs, or how to go about viewing them.

If anyone can say that it is the IGP, I will happily go out and buy a Video Card with some memory onboard. But I don't want to do that unless I can deduce that it is the IGp


Thanks a lot for everyone's replies.

Because this forum is fighting me to attach files they are located at:

www.rainforeverfilms.com/boxee.txt
and
www.rainforeverfilms.com/windowslog.txt

[jollyassjerk]

Any idea about the Video Card being the culprit?
