Hello all:
My pc is working great with Vista Ultimate 64 bit but I have two minor
problems that I think may be related to the SP1 update. I used the Microsoft
SP1 Update CD rather than download on a slow 56k connection and the install
went fine. Since the install of SP1 I have occasionally noticed intermittant
very, very brief freezes of live tv in Media Center. It isn't really a
problem, more just an annoyance. Looking back thru my Windows Updates I
noticed an Intel Graphics Media driver was installed after SP1. The date on
the driver update was Feb., 2008. There are no graphics updates later than
Jan.27, 2008 on the Intel site for my board so I had went ahead and let
Microsoft update the drivers. Is it possible that Microsoft Update would
have a post SP1 Intel Graphics driver update before it is listed on the Intel
support site? I am thinking I should uninstall the graphics in device mgr
and re-install the latest drivers from the Intel site to see if that cures
the video freeze problem. Would this be a likely solution? The other problem
I'm having is that when I try to manually download Media Center Guide updates
I frequently get an almost immediate notification that the Guide update is
complete even though when I hold the cursor over the download icon it never
goes past 0% complete. If I then try to download the guide again, most times
it goes thru the complete lengthy update correctly. This happens on 2 64-bit
pcs with Vista SP1 and 1 32-bit pc with XP Media Center 2005. This has only
been occurring for the last month or so. I tried going thru the complete
Media Center set-up on all thru pc's again and the problem still occurs. Is
this something unique to my pc's or is there a widespread problem with Guide
updates?
