Win MCE Rollup2 for MCE2003 or MCE2005

["Neil Wrightson" <neilw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Is the service pack for MCE 2003 or 2005?

What version are most people running?

Does anybody have comments between the two versions 2003/2005?

Regards,

Neil Wrightson.

Never one to give up easily, I thought I'd check out the Green Button
site - God it's slow!

Anyhoos...

Lo and behold there are another two users with the same graphics card
as me (Radeon 9600XT) experiencing black TV screens when in full
screen. It seems to work in windowed mode. I've just checked mine and
it does work in windowed mode.

More research I fear!
