There has been mention elsewhere, it's listed amoung the several issues that those guys had.
Nothing from M$ though.
Unfortunately, given the lack of screaming users I assume those of us with problems are in the minority.
jdomnitz: ok im 99% sure the problem is from update # MS08-033: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS08-033.mspx http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951698 The only article I can find so far though is this: http://blogs.technet.com/swi/archive/2008/06/10/ms08-033-so-what-breaks-when-you-acl-quartz-dll.aspx

I tried to uninstall this update and problem still persists. I think it's something else!
Mine is fully up to date now and I've yet to see this issue. Could it be a video driver issue? I know I've had all sorts of weird problems with buggy drivers before - even things which you'd never in a million years connect to the video card.
It's like communicating with god. You pray and pray and pray for that bike, but you never get a response or the bike.Then you figure out how it works; you steal a bike and pray for forgiveness.

This problem did not occur for me until i did a windows update. I don't think it's a driver issue at all. Last night I paused a show and let it sit for 10 minutes after that when i hit play, it started back at the beginning. i'm going to roll back later to before those updates and install them one by one.
I have found different results... If I hit pause to resume after waiting for 10 minutes or so it will start at the end or the begining... If I hit play it almost always works correctly. However after 30 minutes the show will automatically start playing on its own...

Yeah, I think the "hit pause to resume" is probably my problem. on my laptop that is the only way to resume (there is a combination play/pause button on the front). I've installed one of the updates that I think is the problem and will let everyone know how its going. I have it paused in the background now.

Ok from what I can tell, I've found the culprit. After removing the June cumulative update for media center (KB950126) all my problems have gone away. I'm not sure the update fixed any problems I was having, so I'm going to keep it uninstalled for now. This is of course affter some preliminary tests. i will know for sure as I use media center more.
Yes... sirmeilli is right on the money! That's the update that is causing the issues. I also uninstalled it hoping it will not cause other problems!
Found the other reference @ TGB (Knew it was there, couldn't find it again tho'!) - looks like M$ are now aware of the issue.
It's halfway down the page on this thread followed by lots of 'me too' posts.
Just cuase M$ is aware.... doesn't mean it is getting fixed anytime soon :) I mean really how doss this issue even make it through the QA group.
crzykidd,
don't worry about it...M$ will be sure to fix this in Windows7!!!!
until then its not really that big of a deal, right?!?!?!
[man..I'm getting too sarcastic in my old age]
sirmeili,
Ya I heard it might be pushed till Windows 8 :)
Actually I heard the fix was going to be OEM only
Next they will be openly discussing beta programs with us and we will all be invited to participate.
