Haven't vanished - although you might think so

Hi All

Been getting quite a few emails lately checking up on me. So I thought I had better post that I am alive and well. Recently had some turmoil in my personal life which didn't leave me much time to post but I should be back on track shortly.

One thing this has meant is I had to build a new MediaCenter for myself and I'm very pleased to be able to recommend the MSI Media Live barebones kit. I've built one of these with a Energy Saving AMD Dual Core, 4gb of memory and a terrabyte of hard disk array and it sings. Probably the easiest PC build I have ever done. One gotcha though - the heatsink, although magnificently effective and quiet, is a right pain to get on. Trick for this is to take the power supply out as it makes it a lot easier to maneuver. Even with this fiddle the whole build took only 2 hours.

Dear Garry,

I built an MSI Media Live recently as well, and am running Vista. I am seeing one problem that perhaps you might have run into and solved, so hoping for advise. The problem is: When I launch the vista Media-Center application the monitor display goes blank. The VFD "comes on" and says "Media Center". This display problem is only with Media-Center. If I exit/kill this, regular Vista displays properly on my monitor.

Any ideas what could be causing this issue with Media-Center app?

Could you please reply to my email directly (naresh@nareshfamily.org)

Thanks
Naresh
