    I was using media direct last night for the first time from cold start. It loaded up fine, and I was manage to opened some pictures. Then it froze on me, so I hold on the power button to turn the xps off manually. Now when I press the DMD button from off, it loads up the logo, but will go blank afterward. The webcam flashes 1-2 times and that is it. And when I press the power button, it will just show the clock and window exiting, which result to shutting down.

    Anyone know how to get DMD to work again without reformatting the laptop? Would come in handy for long flights.
