I hate Media Center...Its a new sony desktop, and everytime I start media
center I get SYS stopped responding. I hope someone can tell me how to fix
this, without having to call Sony. Like an update or something from the
windows site would be great.

Also, It does not record shows that I have set to record for some reason. I
know its not that there's not enough space on the hard drive. Its a 500 GB
hard drive and I have two. And sometimes it will only record 5 mins of the
show or all of the show. Sometimes it get more than 5 mins but not the whole
show. I'm thinking it has to be vista, and/or a program conflict. I have spy
sweeper, and nothing else is running during the time it records.

FYI - I have an external ATI Wonder Cable Tuner. And I have an antenna
hooked up to that to get my tv shows. Also I have a wii which I cannot hook
up to that because where the ports are too hook it up, the plastic is in the
way. So even though it should fit, it does not. I would have to cut the
plastic away and possiably damage the ATI Cable Tuner just to hook the wii
up. Does anyone has this problem?
 
This is hardly the right place for your concerns (see NG designation).
Someone here may know about it, but you are likely to have a much faster
respons from:

microsoft.public.microsoft.mediacenter

or something of that nature.
