[QUOTE="samoddie, post: 311770, member: 83171"] Hi, thanks for your reply. i don't think the codecs are the problem, all my movies play fine in everything else, have downloaded, installed, re-installed ffdshow and the xp codec pack, followed a codec setting up guide i found on the internet and still the problem remains. If i tell media portal to use media player classic as the external player it does this fine and the movie plays ok - just not when using the internal mediaportal movie player...!! Done it! I managed to sort the problem out by going into mediaportal configuration, movies, movie player and then ticking the box saying Auto - direct show merit.. I ticked it, and now my movies work.. still don't really know what it is for..! So the video playing problem is solved but does anyone have any ideas about removing the look of XP totally. i.e. completely hiding the taskbar, removing loading personal settings dialogue box and blue screen before loading windows, hiding mouse cursor etc etc...
