    I know it takes Cyberlink Power DVD 5.7 with XP Media Center Edition. Does anyone have the combination working with Vista?

    Thanks

    yep and it aint easy
    honestly its possible but you have to leave the m/d partition intact after you install vista you have to run m/d install from the folder on the m/d dvd its called windowsmd3 i think even if you get it going its still not right because it points to the wrong folders for music etc. dell supposidly will have a fix the 1st week of feburary IMHO its a lot easier to wait
