UNSOLVED
- I have the same problem, and was told by Dell that I would have to wait for a Vista compatible Media Direct Repair Utility. I hope they come up with something soon. I keep checking every day. I would also like to see a Vista compatible Dell Support Tool and Dell PC Checkup.
- When I installed Vista I did a clean install, not an upgrade. Dell told me the same about waiting for an upgrade that will work. I guess I just don't understand the problem with why it is taking so long. Now I have just found out that Media Center will no longer record certain channels off my Directv box. It was working great for about 2 months, and last night I tried to record a show i wanted to watch later (I had to work late) It didn't record because Media Center said it cant because the broadcaster blocked the ability to record. So I guess I really don't need my Media Direct button, because I'm not going to use Media Center anymore, BeyondTV here I come! Joe-Joe

Vista won't automatically let you do it due to the user account control, so you have to turn it off before you try. Otherwise, it will say that the hard drive wasn't properly prepared. I learned this after the 4th install of Vista.
