Were you playing a song when you opened Media player? Was the Now Playing tab click? If so you'll get a visual of the playing music something akin to my generation's awful attempts of illusions while on an LSD trip. LMFAO Your video card should be alright especially if everything else looks OK! You made my day! Me thinks you chose wrong OS! Good luck!

Edit: If this is so, just click on LIBRARY tab. To view what's in it.

 

nah this happends when i open windows media center, and like this graphical lines show up, but like if i click on the maximize button it then goes into a smaller sreen like normal and everything works fine, it's so weird, by the way my vista ultimate ein't retail lol, but everyhing's activated etc.. everything else works.


still need assitance!!

lol

 

I used to get this problem and the only way i fixed this problem was getting a graphic card and installing it. Then the lines in Windows Media Centre go and you will see the program in all its glory.

 

thanks alot, so r u 100% sure tht's the prob then graphics card?

if yes them am relieved lol, wht gpahics card would u recommend me to get i've got a pci express connection type.

thanks for tht m8.

 

Any Nvida Card and Ati card should do the trick mate. I went with a Nvidia Gforce 512MB GS 7600. Works like a charm

I think if you go for a minumum of 128 or above you should b kewl in either of those 2 cards.

 

oright thanks, ummm is this a decent graphics card?

1GB ATi Radeon 3450 CrossfireX PCI-E Graphics Card

let me know.

cheers

 

That should do the job and then also give u some extra kick
You will have some fun with that

Has anyone gotten a vista and xp machine to play nice on the same network. It took me forever to get them to see each other but now i only get a 10 mbps conectivity and i have 100mps Ethernet hooked up. I also have two xp machines on wireless N that get faster connectivity in between them using the same Dlink router. I've installed IpV6 on all xp machines I have turned off all of vistas firewalls and safety features and I still have speed problems between vista and xp while my XP machines have no problems in between themselves.

 

I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to download the lastest guide for windows media center from a different computer since I don't have internet access with the computer that has windows media center, and then put it on the other computer so that when i use windows media center i have a guide?

 

I dont want a print out of it i want it on my computer so that when i'm watching tv i know whats on television that night. Also i don't think there is a direct download of it so that i can take it and put it on a usb drive to move over to my computer, i've been searching but cant find anywhere to download it from.

 

I have a quick question. At launch, Vista was getting a lot of crap about the licensing and how it allowed Microsoft to pretty much do whatever it wanted to your computer. My question is whether or not there's anything I should do to my OEM Home Premium installation to block any intrusions from Microsoft, or have they realized that it's my computer?

 

Thanks locoeng for getting back to me on that...

 

It doesn't say anything actually. Everything is working fine. I was just curious if there was anything I might need to do to prevent Microsoft from playing big brother with my computer.
