I run XP sp2, IE6
Never had MCE or IE7 on my machine but still had album art replaced by black
squares.
Only happened when I first upgraded to WMP11. I fixed the art up and it
hasn't happened since - shhhhhh...

This is a well documented problem in Media Center Edition caused by
Internet
Explorer 7 (IE7). I had the same problem when I upgraded to IE7, rolling
back to IE6 will fix this issue. I think that it has something to do with
songs with embedded album art. ( but I'm not 100% sure). If you do a
quick
google search, you see that microsoft has instructions for how to roll
back
to IE6. Also, if you search these newsgroups you'll see others with the
same
issue.
What gets me is that there's been no word from MS when and if they'll fix
this problem. There are tons of media players out there that have figured
this out, why can't the biggest software company in world get this right?
Good Luck!

I have no problems with wmp11, with all album art assigned correctly etc.
However, sometimes when playing music through media center (which i
prefer to
use due to its interface), while the album art CAN always be seen, on
pressing play it becomes a black square. Then when the next song of say a
playlist starts, the album art for that is also just a black square.
Though
sometimes it will change to the correct art when a new song starts. And a
third variation is that the album art showing stays the same for the next
song (even though its a diff album), while the information changes. ie
say
the 'beatles-love me do' is playing, when finished it will go to a
rolling
stones song and show the info for this, but the album cover would still
be
the beatles.
Sorry if thats a bit long winded, but those variations are i think all
part
of the same problem. Wmp11 is fine, and i'm thinking it may be a memory
issue
because media center seems to require a bit more power to run? Or maybe
cos
i'm running visualisations (hard to test this because the problem happens
frequently but randomly). Thanks in advance
