| | Media Center Setup doesn't display I'm installing Vista RC1 x64. When I start Media Center the task bar icon comes on and my mouse goes away as if the application is getting focus, but no interface is ever coming up. I can alt-tab through the open applications, but Media Center just has a black box in the list. I left it on overnight and no interface ever comes up. AMD 4400+ 2 GIG RAM NVidia 7900GT with latest Nvidia beta drivers. Any Ideas? |

| | Re: Media Center Setup doesn't display Interesting. I did have two monitors but have switched to one. I do however have two video cards in SLI mode. I wonder if that is throwing it off.

| | Re: Media Center Setup doesn't display Hah, that was thr problem. Even though I was in SLI mode the 2nd port on the first card was configured to display and had "extend desktop to monitor" set. Turning off that false display did the trick. "RonK" wrote: > I have that problem but I have 2 minotors connected and Media Center goes to > the second monitor.

| | Re: Media Center Setup doesn't display I guess the multiple display configuration still has quite a ways to go. I still can't find the SLI configuration dialog.
