[QUOTE="peter448, post: 276332, member: 76642"] Hi Boiler. I had the exactr same issue with Vista Home Premium SP1. There is at least one post that talks about disabling the 4 Media Center services that run, but I still found this didn't work. Sometimes (ie not all of the time) when I hit the 'green button' Media Center would load up over the top of MP. In fact it wasn't only the green button that did this. Other combinations that I couldn't be bother working out. In the end I followed "Howto: Mediaportal with Vista" started by eloo, vLite'd my installation to remove Media Center from the Vista install (only way I found this to be easily possible), then used and-81' replacement driver and plugin. 1 1. no. 2. yes. There are other posts that explain this. Look to them for more details. Basically you need to install the MCE Replacement Driver. This is the "OS" side of things, and replaces the eHome driver that only comes in Vista (versions with Media Center in it) if you've installed Media Center (and if you vLite Media Center out you don't get it). The MCE Replacement Plugin is a plugin that automates MP talking to the MCE Replacement Driver. Hope this helps. Regards, Peter [/QUOTE]
