I just upgraded my Media Center PC to MCE2005. It
appears that MS Antispyware causes the system to hang on
boot-up. I get the "Windows" icon, then it goes black
without any hard drive action.
 
The only known incompatibility is with Media Center Extender devices--and
even this issue can be worked around by simply shutting down Microsoft
Antispyware when the MCE device is in use:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892374 Windows Media Center Extender cannot
establish a remote connection after you install Windows AntiSpyware (Beta)
on a computer that is running Windows Media Center Edition 2005

Can you boot to safe mode by pressing F8 before that first screen comes up?
