No, there were no installation problems. I use a self built state of the art computer and the complete installation was done in 18 minutes. When I look into what is on the computer, Windows Media Center is shown there as a program.
I am tempted to re do another clean install, but hate to go through all the polishing up and re instaling my software.
I have also tried to do a computer repair, but this is not easy to carry out as my W7 disc is an OEM version and there is no free support from MS

Have you tried turning off Aero?

What type of connection do you have to the monitor?

It sounds like the mode is changing and is not being recognized by the monitor.

Media Center Hangs

have you looked at the event logs for any errors or warnings? Try letting media center go for several minutes and see if any error messages pop up or entries get written to the event logs.

Look here for a possible fix. Your not the only one having this issue.
