i thought i had uninstalled this useless aplication but as it turned out, i haven't. i did it the noob way, through the control panel. while the computer is on, the media direct button does nothing, and the program doesn't appear anymore on the list of programs to uninstall. but when it's...

I've heard conflicting information as to where the MBR is on Dells with Media Direct. Normally, it's at "track 0" but some say it's in the Diagnostics partition (the first, EISA partition). When you created the Acronis Secure Zone, if it didn't keep the 2.5GB MEDIADIRECT partition...

Since upgrading to XP SP-3, whenever I insert a dvd and Dell Media Experience runs, the latter crashes (in the case of a regular movie dvd) or freezes (in the case of a disk with *.avi or *.mpeg files). 0xc0000135 is the error code. My machine is an Inspiron 630m running Win XP Home. Can someone help...

Dell has been stonewalling Blu-ray issues for a LONG time. I have an Inspiron 1525 and Media Direct can't navigate some BD's (Across the Universe) and can't play others. When you enter your service tag and go to the support page for your computer, Dell flatly refuses to show you the current...

GavinJohn, The issue here isn't drivers or Microsoft, the device support is fine. Blu-ray is an evolving target, both due to inexperience following the spec, various new profiles (1.1-BonusView 2.0-BD-Live) and DRM issues. Dell should have understood when they sold Blu-ray computers that ongoing...

I have to agree. I bought my son an XPS 1730 laptop at the end of November last year. The one year warranty has just expired. He had not tried to play a DVD using the Media Direct software before. It generates an error that the DVD is the wrong region code. We cannot even find anything to tell us what...

I recently bought a laptop with a 17" screen and Media Direct installed on it. I was using Media Direct to watch DVDs, but every time I turn TrueTheater on, when I am watching a film in widescreen, it removes the black bars and stretches the picture vertically, distorting the image, even though...
