[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1278247, member: 141969"] Unfortunately, the two members of the MP team who have some knowledge of this area are both occupied with real life at the moment, so I think that the chance of a fix in the near future is unlikely. :( Two possible workarounds: (1) Re-install the driver that works, and then permanently disconnect those systems from the internet (thus preventing the bad driver being re-installed). (2) Install MP2. Although MP2 uses the same "TV Server" code as MP1, the problem with the display driver occurs during playback, and MP2 might have different logic that avoids the problem. But note: (a) There might be a culture shock when you move from MP1 to MP2 (I have never used MP2, so I cannot speak from personal experience). (b) Another MP1 user tried recently to move to MP2 (due to a show-stopper problem with MP1). He found that it was necessary to uninstall MP1 completely in order to get MP2 to install, but then could not solve the networking problems, so he re-installed MP1(which then worked for him). Your network might not suffer from the problems that he had, or you may be knowledgeable about networking and be able to solve the problems. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
