RE: Computer locks up when I start the media center.

I'm in the same boat Kirk, MC was working fine for the first week after a
fresh install, now whenever i open it my cursor disappears and the pc locks
up. MC looks like it's minimised to the taskbar, but alt-tabing or task
manager won't bring the cursor back. Task manager says that MC is running,
won't 'switch to' though, but will let me shut it down. Any ideas out there?
This is damned annoying.
