With the official public release of Vista here, the amount of people using Media Center for their PVR needs is sure to climb to a higher level than it was with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. As with a lot of the new users, some of us veteran users may have some questions of our own when it comes to doing things with the new OS. Luckily The Green Button has come to our rescue with a Vista MCE FAQ that is floating around in their forums.
At the time of this post the thread has only 7 posts, but within that there are already a few Q&A's listed. I suspect that this thread will grow quite steadily over the next few days, so make sure you check back.
And if you have a question that is not listed there, be sure to register as a member and post it. With all the talent and skill over in that forum, hopefully all questions will be answered, and with that a comprehensive FAQ should emerge.
1. I'm using Vista Home Edition. I can't get my auto play feature to work. I have settings at "ask me". When I insert a photo CD I get an error saying: "Sorry, you must have the Windows Address Book installed. Please install the most recent version of Internet Explorer".
Of course the address book is installed and IE 7 came with the computer which I've had for just one week.
I haven't even tried music or a DVD since photography is my main interest. Incidentally, when I download from my camera the autoplay menu does come up.
I hope this isn't a preview of problems to come.
Anybody out there have any ideas on what I should do?
Thanks
Linda
