dford Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have seen this problem before:My resolution1) Re-install the Codec ( I use Intervideo WinDVD)2) After reboot use Microsoft's Codec Checker to make sure your perferred Codec is set for Media Center3) Make sure your resolution is set to 32bitIn rare occasions I have also had to re-install the Video driver.Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionicman Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 There seems to be 3 threads running side by side at the moment all basically about the same thing. Media Center is an OEM product therefore is meant for system builders. If people here are system builders then do your research as to what the system requirements for MCE are. They are quite readiy available from Microsoft but as I suspect alot of people here are too scared to contact Microsoft because they are using illegal software. It's people like that causes the cost of software to be be more expensive for the rest of us!As for how do I reinstall the codec? I think I've heard it all now.
