I came across your blog entry about the Gateway FMC-901X. I just bought one but the guy wasn't able to find the original CDs. Is there any chance you would be able to help me acquire a backup of the original restore discs? Gateway will not sell them any more as it is too old now. I am desperate because I would like to have this machine start as new out of the box. It currently has a valid copy of Vista Home Premium installed but I don't want to activate it as I intend to go back to MCE 2004. Any help or advice is appreciated. Kyler Hi there.

Unfortunately mine has been an experience from hell... Here is what I did. I did a fresh clean DVD restore from Gateway on my FMC-901x and then I upgraded to MCE 2005 using a full version I bought from <a href="http://newegg.com" rel="nofollow">http://newegg.com</a> Everything works well, even when I enter the Media Center Application. The only thing that doesn't work is LIVE TV. the animation spins to wait and then it freezes. The little TV preview has a black square that says STOP. I reinstalled the WinTv drivers from Gateway's site. That didn't work, then I tried to reinstall using the MCE 2005 drivers on WinTv's web site ( I used the WinTv-250-MCE drivers). For the life of me I can't figure out why the LIVE TV freezes... Any suggestions? I even did a windows update.... Thanks for posting your experience.

Worth a try. TV was not working on my MCE and I reloaded the same video driver and it fixed it. Worth a try.
