    Reinstalled Media Experience, and make sure you have quickset installed. If i have it figured out correctly, when the laptop is off, it boots Medai Direct - not Media Experience. Once you are in your laptop, then it just boots Media Experience.

    Someone correct me if i'm wrong please.

    I believe it is called Media Direct, and not Medai Direct. Sorry couldn't resist, hey you said correct you if you were wrong. :p You can virtually slap me now.

    Your right. And if you have MCE 2005, it will start Windows Media Center
