@sdetweil Still getting black screen after performing these steps. For some reason, it is stating that I have the wrong syntax in the config file.

@sdetweil Nevermind. All is now working. Had an extra bit of info in my config file that didn’t need to be there. Thanks again for all of your help sdetweil!

Hi,
what was your “extra bit of info in my config file” ? i haf the same error and dont find an error with my config file on my new installed MagicMirrorThanks :-)

@dphotograph Hey dphotograph, I had somehow copied the bottom part twice, and that was my problem. I just copied the config sample again, and built all of my modules, one by one.

Had enough? Lets run that MagicMirror, NOW!
Hallo there,
if you will find some free time to help :
I tried a few times to process the whole procedure of starting new MM software on PC - I am not even a newbie so it is really hard to say what I am doing wrong.
see pic - does it say to you anything?
it seems I will have to give up - programming is not for all ;-)
