Hi Everyone. I am brand new to Media Portal. I am running Vista 64 Ultimate on an AMD 64 x2 dual core processor with 4gigs of ram. I just did a clean install of Mediaportal 1.0 rc3. When I try to use any of the plugins, as soon as a choose the media file itself to play, the screen goes black for about 5 seconds, then media portal appears in the top left hand corner of my screen only. It is the whole media portal screen, just minimized to the top left hand corner of the screen. I have tried this with both my videos and my tv (using a pinnacle hd pci 800i card). The mouse then sometimes works, some times doesnt. I can escape back to the home screen, when I choose any of the plugins again, the same thing happens.

I for the life of me can't figure out what to do. Please HELP haha! Thanks!
