This is the best help I ever got on a forum.!!  I did not grow up with computers, so I just know enough to screw things up by missing with the software or program. LOL.  I'm a 100 % disabled veteran and middle age, so i did not grow up with computers like most of you guys did and I do not know as much as as any one here. LOL  Any way the computer is a Gateway GM5420.  You know come to think about it,I had a lightning strike back in August 2012 and it fried my DSL modem and took out the hard wired either net port in back of computer from where the wire hooks up to the DSL Modem that goes into the hard wired port. the port used to glow green and now its just red. So I bought a DSL modem thats has 4 either net ports and is also b/g/n wireless. So I had to buy a D-Linkwireless G USB 2.0 Adapter and with the help of ATT Tech on the phone we finally got the D-Link G 2.0 to talk to the Netgear 7550 wireless modem. On my desktop gateway computer that is wireless now. I think thats the same time I could not watch TV with WMC any more. So that Lightning took out 2 devices on my computer.  I sure to like all the help i got here from each and every one of you.!!!  Its to bad I wont be able to join you guys and use the media portal.! Well when I get another computer one day, I'll make sure the TV card and GPU and CPU are good enough to play games and watch TV and not have to worry if the computer will run any program or game or DVD or software programs.  Ok  you have my computer name and number is there a TV card thats not to expensive that will work with my MOBO and while your at it let me know if i can replace this GPU I have it G965 chipset at G-3000.  which means i can play only 1/2 of the video games because my video card is not very good. But some one told me its soldered onto the MOBO so i just can't unhook it and put another one in?? well thats what some one said so I have not looked to see if i could upgrand my GPU and it looks like I need a TV card that will work with my gateway GM5420 too.  The TV card is right next to the eithernet port that got freied too that day so it took out my TV card too because thats about the same time WMC stoped working. I can get WMC to open up nice and when i select the TV guide channels it does nothing. So i wonder if its a file that I'm missing or a few files or something about the program wont work now but it worked great for 4 1/2 years then it just stoped so i wonder if it will be a easy software fix because i can't get the whole program from microsoft they stoped making WMC for vista>!! maybe i can find a whole program in open source?? but thats when i founf media portal that day and i thought It would work for my computer too, but looks like my vixs TV card wont work with MP.. ok thats for all the help. chat with you later bye.</p></blockquote><p></p>
