Your MCE is up to date.

What video card do you have?
What tv tuner card do you have?
What CPU are you using?
and
What DVD decoder are you using?

I'll post in both areas.....

Gary told me this:

"If you can confirm that Update Rollup 2 is installed (within MCE, under
Settings > General > About Media Center, the version should be greater
than
5.1.2710.2732), and the Ident value in the registry is 4.0, then the
April
update for MCE2005 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914548) should
install."

I saw this:

512 715 2883 (xpsp(wmbla) .060409-2023)

& it was already set to 4.0


Still getting a choppy picture. Maybe my video configurations are bad?

Hey guys,

I did d/l Rollup 2 after seeing it on this thread.

Gary, I emailed you via your website about what went down afterwards.

(I didn't think that I'd still get replies after this hit the 3rd
page)

The OP might already have Update Rollup 2 installed.

If UR2 is installed, and a third-party app (or the user) changed
the
Ident
value in the registry, changing it back will save the time
needed for the
needless re-installation of UR2, as KB914548 checks the Ident
value
specifically.

If UR2 is not installed, I provided a link for the complete
installation
of
UR2 (including all its dependencies).

First, confirm that you have update rollup 2 installed. Do
so by
following
these instructions

1. Launch Media Center,
2. Go to Settings | General | About Media Center | Software
Version.
3. If you have Update Rollup 2 installed, it should be listed
here.

If you do have Update Rollup 2 installed, then something has
modified
the
Ident value of your Media Center installation (most likely a
third
party
app, if not done by the user for some plug-in). To fix this,
using,
regedit, goto

1. Registry key name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center
Change the Registry value data for Ident to 4.0 and the
install should
work.

If you do not have Update Rollup 2 installed via the check
that I gave
you
above, you'll need to download and install that. Update
Rollup 2 and
its
dependencies are available at
http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/8/5/28521E1E-120E-4D05-8310-3E43F2734431/XboxMCEFULL-ENU.exe
