I am running Media Portal on a regular WindowsXP Pro machine.

Should I use MCE drivers for my Graphics card, motherboard, PVR150MCE, and so on? Or shoudl I ONLY use regular XP drivers?

Sincerely
Jan-Erik

    No point using the MCE drivers for your video card as they usually a fair bit behind the normal XP ones (MCE nvidia drivers are just that, XP drivers + MCE extensions).

    Any hauppauge products you can use the MCE drivers (as MCE is just XP Home + the MCE app).

    I had the same feeling about MP1, nothing was working out of the box, it was full of hardcoded dependencies and bugs. That’s how I came to MP2 and I’m very happy with it ;)
