[QUOTE="Bruggles, post: 62489, member: 21997"] Taipan, There are no graph files which, from my almost nil experience but lots of reading in the forums, I would have expected to find with BDA drivers in use - maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here. In defence of the S3 drivers, this particular mobo has been built with media apps in mind - the Nehemia CPU includes MPEG decoder capability, although it is probably useless without software that takes advantage of it but the box plays HDTV fine using the Dvico app that came with the card (it surprised me that the CPU would deliver at HDTV resolutions but it does). Also, MP plays DVDs and does the TV guide number without any dramas. The bit that's got me whacked is that MP finds the card OK, goes through the config process without complianing and throws up an error that I can't find a solution for on the MP web site, in the forum or on the web in general. I really want an alternative to MCE here. Microsoft is moving into bloatware that tries to take over your whole life and the disparity between TV card drivers and directshow drivers is too great at present. Regards, Bruce [/QUOTE]
