Hello,

I have the exact same problem that you fixed for Sailor Sue. I am hoping you
can help me fix mine too. When I have Media Center maximized and click on the
minimize button I don't get the REMOVE. I get a box coming up saying Settings
and Messenger.

I tried to right click the Media Center shortcut icon on the desktop and
chose : Open in a normal window. That didn't work.
I went in and checked all the settings in Media Center that didn't work. I
can get MOVE when I right click the minimized Media Center on the taskbar at
the bottom but you can't move it with only the tab on the taskbar screen
showing. As the other post said I can see it going somewhere off my screen
when I click on it.

Any other ideas. I even phoned HP Tech support and all the could suggest was
to restore the Media Center software. I am running version 5.1.2715.3011
which I assume is the 2005 edition that windows download probably updated the
original to.

Thanks in advance!!

Different situation to a similiar situation.

I can watch media center only maximized. When I hit the middle square box
in the upper right hand corner of the window (unmaximize or whatever), I only
see the software on the task bar and I hear it, but that's it.

Suggestions? and thanks.

I am having this exact problem. I hope someone knows this one. I can't seem to get it.
