No.. those didn't help.
I noticed one difference between MC16 and 17 on my HTPC - 16 uses Video Mixing Renderer 9, 17 uses Enhanced Renderer for playback.
I tried to tweak Video playback settings by switching to RC with additional filters and this caused MC17 to crash upon starting playback.
Well, I guess I'll just reinstall XP. Strangely, the HTPC often gives me problems while my Desktop doesn't.
I didn't reinstall since 2006! Switched motherboards/cpus several times but didn't reinstall the system : ) God knows what leftovers are still there...

Hmmm, you're still using XP? Can anyone chime in and tell us whether EVR now works under XP - it wasn't supported back when I was using it.
maxxsid:
My Desktop is using EVR and apparently doesn't have any problems with Video.
(I am half-way through the system reinstall - will report tonite)

I'd heard that it was able to run; thanks for the confirmation. I can tell you that I used to have all manner of video problems with XP, but many of these went away as soon as I installed Win7, even on the same hardware. In fact, it was like having a new HTPC.
If your hardware is capable, you may want to consider the upgrade.

I have E35M1-M PRO "CPU on-board" AMD Hudson mobo.
I don't like the 7.
I do realize it has its advantages, though.
I did try to upgrade my HTPC to the 7.
It worked in general but I couldn't get my VFD to work (I know it's useless but I got attached to it over the years : )
If my XP reinstall doesn't fix things I'll switch to 7.

I also have a VFD, made by Soundgraph (iMON). This one, at least, works fine in Windows 7. I too tried Win7 a couple of years ago and returned to XP due to lack of hardware support. When I returned to Win7 in 2010/11, everything I needed works now!
