Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Update for Standby Mode helps prevent the black screen that you may encounter when resuming use of the Media Center PC from Standby mode.

Can be obtained via Windows update or you can download it here

Tch tch... Arkay - another casualty of the 'New Posts' not working completely? 'Cause I posted this in another thread 2 days ago... You could have been watching TV instead of a black screen now!

/Sarcasm off
- Hope it works for ya!

just a quick question....tryed to download "Black Screen Fix" this morn. got error that I needed some prerequisits. Went to downloads. Only thing it found was the .NET framework 1.1????
If I dont have 1.1 what do I have? what would happen if I download 1.1??

I am one of the people who sufferes from the Black Screen so I would like to download this.

Im running MCE 2005.

Thanks

Just download and install 1.1, you'll need it for other things eventually.

Well, I'm happy to report that the MS patch fixes the black screen issue. Now when I come out of s3 standby I have NO VIDEO at all!!!

But the black screen it gone

Back to hibernate for me.

Cheers,
Arkay.

Hi gixasixa,

You will just have an earlier version of the .NET Framework loaded.

You'll need to install 1.1 for many of the newer apps and plugins.

Go for it

Cheers

Update installed.

Issues remain.

The patch worked for me. I was having issues coming back from Standby (S3). Now it works like a charm.

Now, I just need a way to get it to go INTO S3 with iMON running, but that's another topic entirely
