I too could not get TwistedPixel to work. I looked at the troubleshooting page for TwistedPixel and it indicates you should turn off the Data Execution Prevention for the program using TwistedPixel but when I tried to Vista says you cannot Turn off Data Execution Prevention for WMC.

TwistedPixel is cool but it does not work in Vista Media Centre (but it does work in WMP11 in Vista)

I’d love to know how to make the artist view under music show like how it does in media player. in media center I can only get the list view of artist names but in media player the artists show as a stack of cds with one of the pictures from one of them on top, much nicer. if you can figure out that one I WOULD LOVE to know!

whats the xml or a way to direct Vista Media Center to Burn Dvds from nero8 and playback dvds to default using nero, without having to close the MC, so when i go to burn dvd in MC it uses nero8 to burn? the whole point is to not put in any dvd into my media center unless im ripping it, but to play from hardrive, so i want to use nero to play the dvd files (TS) that i just ripped from dvd disc to hardrive. I just want to be able to insert dvd, rip to folder, and play that ripped folder and or burn that ripped folder all within Vista Media Center.
