[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 735189, member: 91446"] Not meaning to be rude, but I found your post a little difficult to understand. I think you are asking what OS is recommended for an HTPC where both the client and slave are installed on the same PC (am I correct?). If you have any OS available, I would recommend Win 7 (professional is probably ideal) as it is easiest to set up and includes modern codecs supplied as default and I have found the driver support very good. There is lots of discussion as to which is best between 32 bit and 64 bit. Since MP is 32 bit I chose 32 bit OS to keep things simple, but there is no reason why 64 bit won't work. I have never tried Vista (I didn't think it was worth paying for it since it was so bad). Before I bought Win 7 I used XP SP3 (with the required patches installed in accordance with the Wiki installation guide) and although no-where as good as Win 7, it still did the job just fine!
