[QUOTE="fraseyboy, post: 47383, member: 18939"] Yeah i saw a script program that did that. But what I mean is starting Mediaportal before the windows XP boot screen even comes up. Before the log on screen even comes up. Read the stuff here [url]http://www.geexbox.org/en/start.html[/url] Qoute from the site "So, GeeXboX is a full operating system, running under Linux and based on the excellent MPlayer. No need for a hard drive, you just have to put the GeeXboX bootable CD into the CD-Drive of any Pentium-class computer to boot it" Maybe Mediaportal could be used that way.
