Recording Service Won't Start - HELP!

[marquisexb]

So I've been using ArgusTV with Media Portal for a few years now. My server has a Hauppauge Colossus & connects to a STB.

Everything was running fine, until I attempted to upgrade to MP 1.10 and Argus 2.3. Now the recording service won't start.

I'm seeing this error:

I'm running Win7. Originally did an upgrade. That didn't work. Then tried a full uninstall. Renamed the programdata folder. Tried 2.2 . So far nothing has helped.

Unfortunately I'm dead in the water. WAF is getting low. Any help would be appreciated.

So it appears this error always occured. The solution was to add and enable the Media Portal Recorder.
