Thanks for the reply, yes I have what I believe to be the latest updates to MCE. RU2 installed, all the latest driver updates, etc. I'm kind of thinking this might be a weird quirk in my system, as there used to be an item in the start menu called "HP Tunes", and since I loaded "gameex" it took that off the start menu, as well as not adding "My Games" to the start menu. I looked at the registry and see that both "HP Tunes" and "My Games" appear to have entries for them in the registry start menu area, but for some reason they don't show up. I do everything logged in as administrator, so I am fairly certain it isn't a permissions issue. I don't know enough about the registry and the start menu items to know how things should look exactly, but both of the items appear to have information listed in the registry to appear in the MCE start menu. Not real sure where I should go from here. Any ideas? TIA
