Win "ERROR: Unable to create GUI. Exciting" - Windows 7 Clean Install
#1
Hi I've just done a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate (6.1 build 7601) using the following spec:

Asus A8R32 deluxe bios version 8.00.12
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+ 2.2ghz
4096GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 with 332.21 driver
Realtek ALC882 R2.73
XBMC Frodo

Here is my log:

PHP Code:
<script src="http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=pLzCaMMG"></script

When clicking on the XBMC icon from the start menu it doesn't load art as and returns the error message "ERROR:Unable to create GUI. Exiting".

I have tried updating the graphics card and sound audio drivers to no avail.

Any suggestions I'd really appreciate!

Are you using a funky desktop resolution?

I've never actually set the resolution on it and have only ever been connecting to the pc using a remote desktop connection.

Is this beyond what xbmc can render?

Had the same problem yesterday after a reinstall of Win 7 64-bit. When i ran the XBMCinstaller as admin it worked fine.
