If I install MediaPortal... (1 Viewer)

[discoian]

...can I use my PC for anything else?

i.e. can I turn off media portal and use my PC as before? Or have it running in the background?

Thanks!

Absolutely!

You can close Mediaportal or simply Minimize it to the tray and use your computer just as you did before. Many people simply elect to have a dedicated pc (an HTPC) that does nothing but run Mediaportal on it, but this is in no way required.

Hope this helps

Ok, this sounds cool...thanks for your advice!

 

[discoian]

...and very quick advice!

No problem, glad I could help.

You will find the forums are very helpful with lots of nice people (well.....mostly, lol) ;-)

LOL

Thanks again!

Now the question I have to ask is, "why would you want to?"
