[QUOTE="enchant, post: 1299118, member: 72572"] TL;DR: After the reinstall, I was able to properly display videos just fine. But can't get my preferred skin to work, so I'm abandoning Win11 and I'm sticking with my old computer - for now. With a fresh reinstall, everything worked fairly perfectly. I was even able to copy over a Configured Inputs directory (forget the exact name) and my remote worked perfectly. However, when I tried to install my preferred skin, Amped, it came up with a terse error box. Something like "Wrong platform". I see that it hasn't been updated in 10 years, so it probably doesn't work on Win11. I like it because it's fairly simple and spartan. All of the skins that I've seen seem heavily geared toward flashy backgrounds with the working bits (menus, etc.) relegated to a small window in the corner. What I really want and need is for that menu to fill the screen, giving me more entries from that long list and maybe in a larger font. I'm sure that with sufficient skills one could modify the skin to make it do what I want, but I don't have those skills, nor do I know where this might be documented (if at all). So I'm giving up on the Win11 pc and I'm going to build a soundproof-ish box to put the original computer in. Since the internal fan is making noise, that could be a harbinger of a total failure at some point in the future, so in the meanwhile, I might see if I can get overwrite the Win11 operating system with Win10. I hate hate hate hate Microsoft. So thanks again for the help. Couldna done it without you. [/QUOTE]
