I was able to fix this by editing my database.  In the database I
needed to change the UseVideoModes = 0.  Somewhere in the settings in
mythfrontend I turned that option to be on which caused my problem.  I
installed phpMyAdmin and was able to edit the database in a web
browser and change the value.  I was using 0.18 when all of this
happened.
Thanks,
