| Vista Home Premium 64bit | New PC - launching Windows Media Center delivers black screen. Nothing happens, black screen. Can't escape, close etc. Can only reset / hard reboot. I have been doing a lot of hard rebooting since getting this PC. Running 64 bit Vista, Radeon 4870 video card, quad core processor, 4gb DDR3 1600 ram. |

| Vista Home Premium 64bit | Re: New PC - launching Windows Media Center delivers black screen. I have checked my video drivers and they show as version 8.501.00. ATI's site shows the latest as 8.12. How can that be? |
