Vista Ultimate SP1. Since installing SP1 a week ago I can no longer use the WMP player of many internet radio stations.

Verison 11 that shipped wth Vista. Is this application just plain buggy or what am I missing? I am sorting numerous video clips during the process of moving things over from the old computer to the new computer.

I used to be able to burn video DVDs from Media Center but now I can't. I can still burn data DVDs but every time I try to burn one in video format I get the 'Burn Failure' message as well as a popup in Vista telling me that SBEServer was stopped by DEP. Since this used to work, I guessing that some setting or component was changed but I don't know what it was. Is there a way to remove and...
