SInce changing to MP the longest I've gone without a BSOD is about 3 days  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" /> and it's getting "boring" having to re-tune the channels etc everytime it turns to crap - it's not good for domestic relations either - I'm sure I'm not alone in that boat!! The BSOD message is "ks.sys", which, from all the searching I've done (on forums like this) might indicate a problem with the BDA driver I installed (only on the second card).I know it could be all sorts of other things (my graphics and sound card drivers are up to date) but I'm thinking of uninstalling the BDA driver and installing the drivers that came with the card? any opinions/ideas on this? I take it I just do that through the Device Manager? I understand that the BDA drivers are supposed to allow quicker channel changes but what use is that if you can't even get MP to open without getting the BSOD?? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" />  It's at the stage that everytime I start MP I have to look away because the BSOD drives me nuts <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> I read somewhere (on this site) that the "ks.sys" isn't MP's "fault" - how does that work when the computer only dies when I'm trying to open MP? Not complaining, just wondering what the go is there.Also, after having to re-tune the digital channels (again) last night all of the recorded TV for the digital channels has dissapeared from Recorded TV (Analouge recordings are fine though). I can get to the digital recordings through "My Videos" but then all I get is a file name - no programme info - is there a way of getting these shows to appear in "Recorded TV" again"? ((I'm using MPEG for recordings rather than the TS setting))Has anyone got any pointers on how to setup my music folders? I've got around 700 CD's on my harddrive and  I haven't worked out how I should set MP up to show CD covers like Media Centre does, other than "break out" all of the CD folders so that they're in the Music Root folder - which will be a real mission because Windows Media Player has stored files all over the place and a lot of the time when I open a folder in MP it's empty because the songs are stored elsewhere <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />  I've just started using the Global Search plugin which is a hell of a lot better than My Music in MP (when it comes to finding a song or album etc quickly) but maybe there's an easy way to set My Music up that I've missed?? ((using ID3 tags in MP setup just in case that makes any difference..))My Videos - is there any way to generate thumbnails of videos like MCE has? A picture tells a 1,000 words...In general I prefer MP over Media Centre, just need to keep ironing the bugs out... Hope you guys can help!! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
