Ok, just got a new computer w/Media Center and am a couple set up issues

1) The media center recognizes that I have digital cable when I do the setup
but all I get is a blue screen when I try to play TV. I have tried the set
up several different times and restarted my computer
2) I would like to be able to use my computer for various non-media center
related things while the media center plays on the TV. How do I make this
happen?
3) How do I shuffle My Music. I see that there is a shuffle button when I
play a song. I check the button while the song is playing but it just stops
once the song is over.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds like it could be a decoder issue, but hopefully the manufacturer
would ship your computer with a compatible decoder. What is your physical
connection between your PCs tuner card and your digital cable's set top box?
Do you have the remote control's IR blaster attached to the front of your
set top box?

You can possibly accomplish #2, depending on what video adapter you have.
There are some issues, however, in doing it that way.

Not sure about #3...
