With egg on my face... (literally! I was eating an egg sandwich when your
reply came in)..
yes, I was citing the version of windows, and I do have MCE2005 Rollup2.
I wish I knew enough to tell you the hardware I have and such. I can say
that a system restore to a previous point with no problem did not solve the
issue. Cust service person (on phone) told me I need to restore to factory
default. Once again I have had to transfer all info to other computers in
the house to preserve personal data to prepare for this restoration.
I really do not want to be afraid to store data on this hard drive. What is
the purpose of such a huge storage device if I cannot trust this sytem to be
reliable?

I am not even finished paying for a Gateway GM5048 purchased from BestBuy
and
have already had it back for servicing once. That time was a lost
tunercard.
(I did purchase the 4 year in home warranty, but the wait time for a tech
was
weeks). Now I have gotten the blue screen of death and I have lost the
ability to play back Digital Video recordings from the family camcorder
without getting choppy playback with flashes of green and no sound.
reading the threads reveals I have have the oldest known version of MCE
known to mankind. MCE version2002 SP2.
My question is: Should I take this box back, demand a version current
with
the purchase date, or attempt to do whatever it takes to bring this
version
up to speed?
Help!
As there is no product "MCE version2002 SP2" I suspect you are looking at
System Properties and seeing your Windows XP version information.
To see your Media Center Edition version start Media Center and click
Settings> General> About Media Center> Software Version. It is highly
unlikely that you got a new computer with an old version of Media Center.
Without knowing anything about your system, it's hardware or the error
messages you're receiving it would be difficult to speculate on solutions to
your problem.
If the problem is new consider using System Restore to a point prior to the
inception of the problem.
