try setting dx exclusive mode in mediaportal setup. fullscreen does work for me. if your using a SVN version, try using an older one (go back maybe 10 versions). if your using the release version try a SVN, the release versions are no more tested than any random SVN version anyway, just labeled different and used as a base point for future SVNs.

as far as replacing mediacenter, by all means give it a go but be aware that it is not very stable, don't expect to just come out of suspend and watch TV in under 15 minutes but I believe it has more features that mediacenter (not sure how it compares if you only count working features, probably still more but I haven't really had much of a chance to look at vista mediacenter)

OK, I just liked, it must have been an old setting not relevant anymore, I though it was on the general options page but I don't see it. I don't really have any useful suggestions, make sure direct X is version 9 and working, but I would have thought that would have affected windowed as well. I take it your using the standard skin, if not try switching back to blue two and see if that makes a difference.

Sorry, I' not much help

    But no HW specs from either regarding graphics, so no would not consider it a problem without knowing this.
