i've just reinstalled my media centre from scratch, having bought a new SSD for it, as well as there having been a few glitches on the previous installation. so this is a clean install of windows 7 x64, with the latest MP (and streamed MP skin and saf 6 codecs), and updated drivers, and almost zero additional software.
sometimes when starting mediaportal, the splash screen appears in fullscreen as expected, but then when the home screen appears, it shrinks to occupy a square on the screen, with everything squished and weird. exiting MP and starting it again has so far fixed this problem every time.
it doesn't do this every time but it has been happening fairly frequently. this never happened on the previous installation of windows, on the old mechanical HD, although i concede that the nvidia graphics drivers have had quite a substantial update with the new installation.
i have attached a screenshot demonstrating what this looks like.
