Re: problems with WMP & Media Center 2005

I removed a ATI Radeon X300 128 mb pci-e x16 and replaced it with
ATI Radeon HD 2600 pro 256 mb pci-e x 16.

I have not tried putting the old one back in. I'm hoping that won't
be
necessary but I will if there is nothing else to try. Any
suggestions will be
appreciated.

Yes my settings are the same.

Never mind about the cd recording software...I installed the Nero
software that was on
the dvd that came with my new dvd burner and all is well in that
dept.

Thank you very much for your reply,
Janice

|
| Are your settings the same for the new video card
(resolution/color depth)?
