This is a new phenomenon for me. Now whenever I startup an an extender
session of Media Center 2005 XP , I see OneCare open full screen on my TV and
declare that I have so many months left before it expires along with other
information. I believe it is the spash screen that is seen when I open
OneCare manually (status screen). This is annoying because it takes over the
Media Center menu while it displays this information (sometimes for around 5
or 10 seconds before dissappearing). Is there a setting that will stop this
from happening. I also notice that when I run Media Center directly from my
PC I do NOT see this same behavior. Only with my LinkSys Extender connection.
Thanks!

That is annoying and something I've never heard of in the forums and never
experienced since I don't have a Media Center extender running at the moment.
Can you contact support on this and request that it be escalated?

I'll forward this to the OneCare team, but I can't promise that I'll hear
anything through that path.
