To the author of the post.  Alot of people here try their hardest to help....but you have to wait a lil, or maybe make sure your post is noticed by bumping it, etc...the problem here that I notice is you didn't tell us what you had, how long your current OS has been on the machine, what updates, drivers, software codecs, etc have you added. Before you say some software "should just work" make sure the OEM and retail stuff does first....or you have no basis for your illustrated point.  M$ shit simply doesn't work until you massage it like it was your wife. And if it does, you bought it on an OEM machine, and they were the masseuses, and did all that for you. Rarely does a M$ product work 'out of the box' per say, in fact, MP does a far better job of that than pay software I've encountered(anyone tried getting beyond tv to play mkv files ever knows this).We all know this can be frustrating when something doesn't work...but be careful where you lay blame...at least learn how to aim that gun you are about to shoot.  Once again, I still think your biggest problem is Vista, SP1 or not....it's bloated crapware that simply doesn't work right in MOST cases if not OEM machines. It would have been a real OS had they not worried more about making our lives miserable whilst trying to get some entertainment, and stuck with developing the real features they dropped in lieu of DRM, UAC, and other horrid mistakes they were paid to commit. It's taken them 6 years or more to develop CableCard support.....support that most Cable companies are about to abandon....sweet move.BTW, Vista SP1 has it's new random number generator complete with NSA backdoor and spyware, beware what you do once updating to this in the future. And for heaven's sake DO NOT TRUST it's encryption, as it's broken from the get go. IMHO, M$ and the NSA should be sued into oblivion for this.....but that will never happen.This is another reason why I am hopeful for the Hauppauge HD PVR with it's compnent in with FULL HD res(yes I know its realtime H.264). For most of us in the US, being stuck renting or owning cable boxes for various services, with no way to record HD for ourselves to watch when we want/need without restrictions(some hugely vaired and/or ridiculous by company). This is the "holy grail" US consumers have been screaming for, yet nobody cared to listen, figures an international company finally said "f**k hollywood, there's money here, and we're making it" Of course we have yet to see it's internal workings, for all I know, the MPAA has managed to get 5C working with it somehow, and we are just as screwed.For your original problem, if MCE isn't doing anything MP cannot do....dump it for a tweaked XP version that just runs fast....and take MP from there, my guess is, everything should work. Good Luck.m0</blockquote>
