[QUOTE="dubstar, post: 101065, member: 26039"] Its sounds like most of the problems i had with the 2005 version still exist. I think i might just stick with Media Portal and keep messing with the config until they are happy. I have media portal on my pc and it runs 100 times better than mce 2005 just with the odd freeze. plus I can change the skin when i fancy a change. What I don't understand is that I have the two pcs both built by me both similar spec, and mine is awesome, fast as hell, and Media portal has a smooth OEM feel to it (other than the odd freeze) but the lounge pc does some strange stuff like when i'm watching one channel it will just return to 'my tv' on its own and its is jerky and slow and freezes all the time!! The weirdest thing is that the hauppauge 1300 hvr tv card was terrible in the lounge machine, real slow at changing channels, I put it in my machine and its excellent fast reliable, better than any other. Both run windows xp pro sp2 mp 0.2.2.0 and are set up the same. both were formatted in october to get rid of the mce 2005 software!! its crazy!! I don't know what this has to do with vista but I had a nice rant!! Dubstar. [/QUOTE]
