MCE 2005 problems

START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > ENTERTAINMENT....

Something like that. :o
I'm not at home, so this is just from memory.

just do a clean install and it works fine....it worked for me...

Clean install worked for me also.

does it automatically come up w/ the MCE view instead of the desktop after installation or should I follow heypachuco's instructions of:
START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > ENTERTAINMENT

MCE 2005 is almost identical to XP with some added items. So no it isn't going to auto come up with the MCE software, you have to open it.

That was it! Thanks for your help!

You have to manually open it. But once you have MCE open, you can enable/disable the ability to automatically load into MCE on boot-up, under MCE > Settings. I used this same setting to setup my HTPC box so it will auto-load MCE on boot-up.

No problem. Glad it worked out.

anyone here familiar with how to add additional options to the "stop when possible" drop down list.

to see the list I am talking about:

Green button (when using mce remote) >> Settings >> TV >> Recorder >> Recording defaults >> Stop when possible (4 option in the list)

how do I add additional entries to this list?? Say 10 minutes?? XX minutes.

Thanks in advance!

I have disabled everything I can find on closed captioning and still get it when I play either a dvd in the dvd player or when I copy the dvd to the hard drive and play it there. Any help would be great I'm going crazy trying to figure this out. thanks in advance..
