Well... Media Center runs on your 'primary screen' which (if you check display settings) is the screen with the '1' on it. But as you don't use mulitple screens it might be that Media Center has an internal issue. How do you know it goes off to the left? WHat happens if you right click the taskbar item, and maximise/minimise the program? (I cant think of a 'solution' so am tring to think of work arounds ) I don't need to remind you of updated drivers etc?

Any more info would be appreciated, like what happens with media player, whether the symptoms occur in both maximise/minimise... etc?

when i move my cursor to the left it goes off the screen but doesn`t do it on the right side and if i right click the task bar icon the cursor disapears so i cant min/max it i can hear it start up an if i use alt an tab to bring the cusor back then hover over the task bar icon it shows it runnin in the little pop up screen i have all the latest drivers aswell..ps this also happened with the rc1 and rc2 builds if that helps...but in them builds i could right click the task bar icon an i could see it minimise from the left side of the screen to the task bar .. hpe this helps
thanx

If your cursor can leave the screen to the left it means that you have a second screen activated. Right click the desktop, personalise, display settings, and disable the second screen. That should resolve your issue (If a second screen isnt present I cant think what is goin gon )
