I took the plunge and upgraded to Vista last night. The upgrade didnt finish until late and i was to tired to really mess with it. This morning i wanted to go to Media Center to see changes. A second after i double clicked the shortcut, i remembered that I hadnt yet applied the Vista driver to X1950XT, but it was too late. MC opened for a second and the loading circle showed up (the MC one, not the Vista one) and then the computercrashed to a blue screen with a long error message. The computer then rebooted. I immediatly went and Vista's all the drivers on my computer when i got back on. After that, i tried going back to MC again, but i got the following message: "Media Center has stopped working. Checking for solitions." After failing to find any solutions, to tells me it will let me know as soon as a solution becomes available. Am i screwed? is there anyway to reinstall just media center without reinstalling the whole OS?
Thanks in advance.

P.S. Rather than make another topic about this i have another unrelated issue: For some reason it seems to think sometimes that i double click when i dont. for example if i want to move a window and it will thing i double clicked on the window bar and maximize the window. this was happening even on XP. Any solutions? Thanks again.

I don't think so.

You need to open the Mouse properties and set the click sensitivity correctly for you.

There you got three answers. Feel better?

Damn. That doesnt make me feel better at all. Thanks for the reply, i guess. Its not like i was trying to spam or anything. As for the double clicking thing, i dont think the double click sensitivity is the problem. If i am trying to drag a window it isnt like i click it twice or anything, i click onece and hold but it is detected as a double click, maximizing the window. And it doesnt happen only when i try to move a window just to be clear.
Thanks again.
