first time user...just installed 10.1 and then the beta...I cannot load either of them.

Running windows 7 pro 32 bit when i try to load the appliction i get the error message that states.

CApplication::Create() failed - check log file and that it is writable

Anyone have any idea what the issue is? where is the log file stored?

Make sure you aren't running XBMC for the first time through remote desktop.

I always get that error if I run XBMC for the first time through remote desktop after an install or update.

Also, try running in portable mode and see if you get the same error.

right, i get that too unless you select windowed mode, before going into remote desktop. enabling windowed mode allows me to open xmbc via remote desktop.

This usually means Windows doesn't have the correct video driver installed. To check this we need to see a debug log. Open the debug log by pressing Windows-R and in the Run dialog type:

"%appdata%\xbmc\xbmc.log"

(including the quotes). Click OK and the log should open in Notepad. Copy and paste the log into

http://pastebin.com/ and post the link it gives you here.

Hey guys,

I'm having the exact same problem.
I copied the log like JR asked and this is the link here:

Any help would be MUCH appreciated

You don't have the correct video drivers installed. Windows is using the default video driver and this won't work with XBMC. You need to grab the correct video drivers from the manufacturer's web site.

Thanks JR,
I'll give it a go and see what happens.
