Anyone have any suggestions for a complete system that I could purchase on Tiger direct or other vendors that would be a dedicated sytem for HTPC using media portal.

I just put together a quote for someone from newegg, its a bit over your budget but it'll be a nice system. See attached zip file.

HDTV

Efros- think this system can handle HDTV on an LCD screen? Any tweaks you would recommend if I had more cash to spend I could do about 500 more.

Have no clue, but looking at the core duo and a 7300GS I would hope so!

Not a big fan of huge widescreen Flatscreen tvs myself, they're just too darned expensive at the moment. I must make do with my nasty 32" CRT

4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...

I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
