Folder appe Mootars upon boot
 

For some reason, I now get the following directory appearing when I boot. How do I turn it off?

C:\WINDOWS\system32

Appearing where?

On the desk top when the computer starts up. I close it and shut down, it comes up when I restart.

So you're not getting the "Windows XP" splash screen when you boot?

When computer starts, I get this:

By the way, my PVR-250 finally gave out. Bought a PVR-150, like it.

I suggest you run a good antivirus, and after that, run a "Root Kit" detector from here: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilitie...tRevealer.html
Something smells funny on your machine :roll: I got a PVR-150 MCE, which I bought last week specifically to install "Windows Media Center 2005"
I gave up on MythTV and other Linux based PVRs. They are all junk, unstable, and a nightmare to keep up.
It's true that I don't like M$, but I have to take my hat off to them for such a fine product :!:
MCE 2005 simply rocks!

Thanks, will try. I already use AVG, Ad-Aware and CCleaner.

I used the 150 to replace the 250 in an XPHome machine. I like using Titan with Hauppage software and the choices for recording quality.

Also have a new Gateway with MCE 2005 and ATI HDTV OTA board. HD captures are really great and conversions to DVD are very good.

Can you use TitanTV to schedule :?:
That is, is there a way to see Titan's "On Screen" guide on your TV and control your Cable/TV/Receiver box somehow :?:
Or you just uses it on a computer to see what's scheduled :?:

Thanks,

My 150 ($99 from circuit city) came with a remote that can supposedly change channels on a cable box to allow scheduled recording. I use basic cable without a box, so don't know. I just click on Titan record button. I would suggest you look on Hauppage site for information on the remote cable box control.

I'll read what I have, as I am planning to go HDTV soon and will have cable box. I also need to read up on how to capure HDTV for DVD.

Read my documentation. The remote has something called "IR Blaster" that includes a cable that attaches from the board to the cable box remote sensor. This is supposed to allow the scheduler to switch cable box channels for recording.

Ok, I see now that Titan is meant to work on a PC. Not really on a home theater like Media Center or MythTV on a real TV :)
It's cool, but really designed for watching TV on a PC.
The IR blaster is great, if you can get the codes to control your cable/satellite box.
That's what I did with mine, but I'm controlling my FTA (Free-to-Air) satellite box with it :)
There's a big difference from the WinTV PVR-150 and the WinTV PVR-150 MCE.
The remotes are completely different, because the MCE version was designed specifically for MCE 2005.
I love MCE 2005 because the guide is free!, and I can see it on top of my TV, for example, just like a dish network guide.

Take a look if you have a system32 folder direct access in your start\programs\start folder.
