XBMC does not start

[drobidoux]

I installed XMBC on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite A10) but it doesn't start.

Here's the log file:

I was able to start XBMC Live however, just to check that my laptop is having the resources to run the application.

Any idea please?

Forgot to say I was running Windows XP SP3.

Forgot to read also?
See the sticky threads for how to report a problem properly and where to get a newer svn build.

You're right. I'll do my homework first...

Here's my setup:
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A10
512Mb RAM
Intel 852/855 onboard graphic controller (6.13.10.3514 Windows Driver)
Windows XP SP3

I downloaded and installed built 19150. Still crashing at the startup, my logfile (from my profile):

Looks like I have generic drivers installed. I tried updating the drivers but windows reported that I have latest one. Checking on Intel site, looks like newer version is available (6.14.10.4497), I downloaded but cannot install saying "Driver cannot be install on this computer, please contact your manufacturer". I checked on Toshiba website, but my model is not listed in the dropdown menu, so I cannot get latest drivers.

I found that OpenGL support is not part of Windows Update.

Is I said, running XBMC Live from CD works so it really is a question of outdated display drivers. I search this forum and the web for many hours with no luck on how to install latest drivers. Any one as those drivers or succeded installing on Toshiba Satelitte A10 please?

Thanks

I found how to update my graphic adapter drivers.

Thanks.
