Sorted it. Disabled virus checker (BitDefender) and Bingo.. installed fine. Thanks anyway folks... there is always a way :)

File attached...

MSDE was supplied withe software package from Pinnalce. Here is the log....Tried to post it, but its to long for this forum!! Can i email it to you...?? Pm me... .

Hope someone can help... MSDE is part of the software package supplied with Pinnalce ShowCenter. A device for streaming stuff from PC to TV. I use it HDTV Downloads onto my TV. Have jist done a full software re-install (XP-MCE 2005) and now MSDE refuses to install!! I have an install log...

Thanks folks.... I guessed as much :(

Anyone know a decent virus checker that works... It does not like Norton too much :)

Anyone come across drivers for this IDE card that work with Windows XP-64.. Have searched the net for ages.... no joy so far :( Have four drives on this card, so I need to use it !!! Any help appreciated.

Not an expert in this area :) .... but I don't think its possible for a pc to ping itself. Machines on my network can't anyway !!

You're right about the codecs from DVD proggy's. It does use them. But for some reason they canotloadthem into "conversion" proggy's !!

Just starting using Media Centre 2005. Am knocked out by its simplicity!! Love the TV recording, but the files are MASSIVE!!! Anyone come across a decent util to convert these files to DivX/XivD to save a disk space ?? Have tried all my "normal" stuff that I use for MPEG1/2/4 but nothing...

Could be easier (and quicker) just to do a full re-install :)

Are you using a 64 bit CPU .... if so, it may nned a bios update to handle DEP. My laptop had similar probs..... bios update fixed it.

You don't say what mobo you are using. Just done an instal to SATA on an ABIT AV8 (VIA) 939 mobo. It does not need any drivers instaling. If I install the sata raid drivers, the single sata drive vanishes !!!!

Love too, but my understanding is they will NOT support AGP Graphics... Or am I missing something ??? The challenge is I do not want to upgrade my 6800 Card which is only a couple of monthe old... If i wait too long, there will be no AMD 63 bit AGP boards out there !!! Currently...

Thinking of a further upgade, having recently got hold of an 6800 GT AGP card, am not really keen to get the PE-I version !!! Any recomendations a good over clockable Socket 939 for an AMD 3500+ 64 bit.... but must have AGP not Pc Express !!!!
