[QUOTE="BGH, post: 185099, member: 19979"] I am a long time MCE user and currently run Vista MCE from a Vista Ultimate install. I love MCE and have never had any dramas with it, but it would be better if I could configure some things a bit more. Media Portal has always intrigued me. Every year or so I install the most recent version just to see how it is progressing but I have always found it a bit clunky and buggy to be my full time HTPC front end. I was thinking it is about time to give Media Portal another try. What I want to know is whether I am able to install it on my current Vista install without any dramas, both to Media Portal and my existing MCE configuration. I did a quick search and couldn't find anything to indicate otherwise. So any quick pointers or words of advice before installing Media Portal side by side with Vista MCE? Any Vista services I need to disable etc? [/QUOTE]
