Hi, is anyone using a 9400GT with Windows 7 RTM having suspend and reume problems when suspending Windows with the Media Center interface open? I find the machine dies (either on the way to sleep or from resume) if I don't close media center first. If you have this working reliably what Nvidia drivers are you using?
Cheers

Hmm, works for me on my main MCE rig. Using the latest NVidia W7 drivers with the W7 RC (build 7100).

I have a 8500Gt but they are basically the same card.
Now when resuming it get quite a few handshake flashes on the TV for a couple of seconds but it is then fine.
However that is on my new TV. I used to have a Sony rear pro and on that if I used anything other then the NVidia drivers that came with the RC or RTM the PC would bluescreen if the TV went from a different input to HDMI (which the media centre was connect to). Every Nvidia release had the same issue.
