Okay, I found this thread about the weird black screen that pops up when you leave a video going in the Now Playing window and shut your monitor/TV off. That's a fairly intolerable feature of WMC, but whatever. My question is this: how do I prevent it from happening? I would think that pressing the...

Just working out the kinks on a new build with a fresh install of windows 7. I'm using a harmony 880 and an Antec Multi Station Basic IR reciever, which uses a USB interface. I have a few issues: 1. When I wake my system up with the Harmony 880 sometimes Media Center is muted. My workaround so far...

Meh, previous workaround isn't 100% reliable so I came up with a temporary workaround and blogged about it here: http://chaocracy.com/blogs/ogre/archive/2010/05/26/workaround-for-media-center-black-screen-of-death.aspx It's a total hack but at least we don't have to get up and *** around...

I appreciate all the help guys but I don't want to have to resort to hackery to get this working. The HdmiOn.exe guy's site is back up: http://thydzik.com/hdmion-a-solution-to-loss-of-dvi-video-epid-signal-on-hd-tvs/ And I'm going to give this a try-out sometime today hopefully. According...

After using the site's built-in search engine instead of Google, I ran into this: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/80853/402268.aspx#402268 Which I'm trying now... Aaaand it doesn't work, well sorta. Tried turning off the TV with Media Center at the start menu and it worked when I powered...

I basically have this same issue. It seems to be a feature of Windows 7 RTM as I only just recently switched from the RC, which didn't have this issue. I also have ATI video, though it is onboard. I tried installing a Catalyst driver package and that didn't change anything. The weird thing is...

Hi WMC team, I'm having a problem with WMC on my Win 7 machine and I'm hoping you can help. The issue is that when I start WMC about 50% of the time the screen goes black if WMC is fullscreened. The audio plays, so I can hear WMC starting up and going to the main menu. The mouse cursor slowly...

Ever since I installed Windows 7 I've been battling with almost nightly hangs of the frontend (eshell). I could almost always Win-L to bring up the desktop and then launch task-manager to kill the eshell process. This would free up the desktop and allow me to shutdown the system gracefully or let...

I just upgradded from Vista to Windows 7. When I try to play any videos in media center the screen is blank, but sound works fine. The same thing happen when i play a DVD, however if i use powerDVD it works, so it seems to only be related to windows media and media center. The same thing happens with...

When I record the Daily Show on More 4 (UK DTV) it plays back with no video (black screen) but with audio intact. There's a correct thumbnail in Recorded TV and I can watch the show in Media Player no problem. What's weirder is if I convert the WTV recording to DV-RMS it plays fine in Media Center...
