    I've been having issues with the wired network on my laptop. Basically, when I plug in a network cable, it might work for a bit, but then goes to limited connectivity. If I try to disable the wired network, it won't, and when I go to reboot the computer at that point, it will take forever and eventually blue screen, saying Driver Device Power Failure or something like that (I had it written down, but that note is a hundred miles away currently :p) I've tried reinstalling the drivers, no dice. Any advice?

    My other question is with the Cinedash control. Basically, I don't like Windows Media Center and want to use XBMC. But I'm having trouble altering it. Anyone have any help there?
