XP MCE 2005 plus Radeon 7500...

[Daniel]

I had this system up and running MCE2004 without problems. I just did a clean install of MCE 2005 but now I'm getting the error that the video isnt' compatible when I try to use the actual Media Center itself...

When I got to ATi's site to get updated drivers they don't even have them for MCE and the 7500.

I'm using an avermedia m150 as the tv card, I got the latest drivers from the avermedia site as well.

Any ideas why I might be getting this error on a totally clean install?

Have you tried installing the Windows XP drivers for your 7500?

XP MCE 2005 is basicaly XP home with a few addons.

Yep, newest XP drivers for the 7500 from ati's site. I installed WindDVD 6 and I can watch dvds outside of the media center no problem, just can't use the dvd or the tv functions on media center itself.

If you check ATI's drivers listed for MCE, the slowest supported card is the 9200 (or the 9100 IGP); no MCE drivers are listed for the 7500.

For best results, you should upgrade to a DX9 video card (Radeon 9600 or better).
Newegg usually has refurbished Radeon 9600's for under ~$57.00.
