Well my Vista Windows Media Center (WMC) finally bit the dust. Something happened (a SP install I suspect) and the codec got trashed (I think) and suddenly WMC no workee - no tv of any kind, already recorded or off of the tv card. As a college student I qualify to buy a copy of Windows 7 for $29 which sounded too good to pass up. And that version supposedly had a much improved MCE. So I did. Bought it, and installed it ON A 30 gb FLASH DRIVE last night. Finished about 3:30 am. She workee again. In the meantime I also went from a low power dual core to a medium powered quad core, but twice the ghz rating. Needless to say the Home theater PC flies. Now if it will just work for a long time with no maintenance. -- John W. Colby www.ColbyConsulting.com
