Ok, so I may be posting in the wrong forum, but I could not find a Media
Center specific group. I am running XP Media Center 2005 on a Dell Dimension
E520, 2.66 GHZ Dual-core Pentium D, 1 GB RAM 2 internal SATA 250 GB/300 GB
hard drives. GeForce 7300 LE 256 MB vid card (which is strangely shown
pretty much everywhere in the system as having 512 MB though??) Anyhow, I
reinstalled Windows some time ago with the CD instead of the factory image
restore from the hidden partition. No problems, everything installed,
working properly, and showing properly (except the vid card's memory) Quite
a few months later bought the 300 GB drive to install, and after
installation I noticed an unknown device in device manager. The hard drive
is installed and working properly at this point, after some testing etc. the
unknown device is definitely NOT the hard drive. I checked the properties of
the unknown device checked out and searched the hardware strings on the
details tab, and have come up with it's the Media Center Away Mode driver.
From what I can tell searching, I can literally find nothing fruitful about
how to fix this problem with the away mode driver. There is no away mode tab
in Power Options either. I don't necessarily need the functionality of away
mode, but I would like to get rid of this annoying entry in my device
manager without uninstalling or disabling it. Anyone have any ideas or
suggestions that don't consist of disabling/uninstalling?
