    Hi guys,

    so i got an M1530 recently and its mostly all good :) but there is one *major* thing that is bothering me and its mediadirect.

    more specifically, i can use Mediadirect to watch videos, bluray etc, however whenever i try to open the music section. it does that little green "eggtimer", for ages, it takes about literally 4-5 mins to load the music catalogue. and this is each time, not just initial opening (whihc would be understandable), also if i the try to close it whislt its opening the music catalogue, it will crash.

    i have done full factory reset (for another reason) but this problem with mediadirect was the same before and afterwards :(. ive done numerous reinstallation etc but to no avail.

    its anoying because it seems like a good concept but it isnt working properly and my laptop is basically new etc....

    any advice...

    cheers

    Tom
