Well, I have an nVidia RIVA TNT2 video card, with the latest MCE drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxpmce_72.14.html . I installed MCE 2005 and the 72.14 drivers, and went to open the Media Center. Before it opened, I got a box saying "Your video card or drivers are not compatible with Media Center." I also can't play any videos on Media Center, getting the error that "Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Media Center and/or restart the computer. Any ideas about what could be wrong, or what I can do to fix it?

I think you need to make a new form in the designer (let's call it DesignedForm) and then do Dim myDesignedForm as New DesignedForm. Then Show() should work.

I hated doing secondary forms, it was always a pain in the arse. And error 4, what are you trying to do with MsgBoxStyle.Critical.OKOnly ? Show me the whole line of code.

Turn off Caps Lock. Now calmly, ask your question in a clearly written sentence.

Wouldn't that color be 00 00 FF ?

Can you run me through the PXE thing? I ask, because my BIOS (and network card) seem to have some PXE functionality... is it a network boot system of sorts? Because that sounds like just the thing I need.

My questions: Where do I start? What do I need? Is it even possible? Am I crazy? ...yeah, might want to leave that last one alone, but I have no idea where to start.

Heck, a couple forums I go to have taken the post counts away, removed them from the forum style templates, so nobody could see them.

First, I think (but am not certain) that this is the right forum for this post. If I'm wrong, please slap me with a tuna and move this into the right forum. Now, that that's over with, let's get to the hard part. I am soon to be acquiring an older computer that I have no real use for as a workstation. Since it's the only computer I'll have other than my workstation, I figure it might behoove me (don't ask, I heard my dad say behoove once, and now it's stuck ) to turn the old machine into a server. Of course, that's the easy part. The hard part is what I want its' main purpose to be; I want to be able to install Windows XP onto my workstation, over a network. Crazy? Probably . But the method to my madness is that I want a fast, easy way to reformat (without discs and such) AND that it will be easier to make modifications to my Windows XP distribution this way; I'll just have to edit a folder, instead of having to do that and make and burn an ISO file. Any ideas?

Some boards only let post counts rise in useful areass of the boards (everything except usually sections for General Topics, jokes, introductions, etc..) It seems MSFN follows a similar setup.

Try making a batch file with just the line: start regedit and running that.

First, I want to hear how you got NTLDR working on a CD! But, the only thing I see is that you may not want to use C:\ for paths, but some form of multi(w)disk(x)rdisk(y)partition(z) to show where the files are.

http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/33867.html <-- Try that. And to whose sig are you referring?

You could use a system where the user clicks a PHP script to download, the script does counter++, and then the script sends the file.

Quick uninformed guess: boot.something on the CD (it's well hidden)

Eh... almost half a year now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...did I miss something here?

Um, since when can you just buy Windows Media Center Edition? Last I rememeber, they only distributed it to certified MCE Partners (or something like that.)

^ That's standby, not hibernation. Hibernation completely powers the system off after making a session file. Standby blinks

"MSFN Certified Application" ...sounds official! I like it.

Hey folks! I'm liquidplasmaflow, but my real name is Adam. Of course, you can call me liquid. I'm the Administrator of http://www.aero-soft.com/ which is a forum about customization with the Aero style of Longhorn in mind. I'm 15, and I love computers to death (no really, I broke the last one hugging it ) I do some VB programming, and, yeah, that's my life in a nutshell .
