Windows 7 Media Center - Black screen!
When I open windows media center, all I get is a black screen. I can hear the sounds associated with it opening, and if I move the mouse around I can hear little chimes and what not as I scroll over things. It's as if its running correctly just not displaying.
The PC is a 3 year old Dell Dimension E510 media center edition. I haven't touched anything except the RAM. Have been running XP and media center in XP with no problems for years. I have been able to watch live tv and record tv with few problems. I just did a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and everything works great except for this media center.
Hardware:
Intel Pentium D dual Core 3.2Ghz
4 GB Ram
video card: Radeon X300 128MB "Hyper Memory"
TV Tuner: NEC Angel II
I went to the Angel II website and downloaded the newest driver which is for Vista 64 bit. Didn't help. Not sure if the video card driver is problem or not, I would think if this were the case I could atleast open media center just not watch TV. I may be wrong! Please let me know what my problems may be.
