Media Browser and Media Center

I installed Media Browser on my laptop after hearing good things about it for Media Center.  First impressions are not great.  Maybe it is just not configured correctly plus I don't have an internet connection on my laptop during the day.

I also continued to play with Media Center on my laptop to prepare for using it on my HTPC.  I have been playing with the parental controls and My Movies because eventually I am going to have movies ripped that are not appropriate for some (or all) of the kids.  The parental controls seems to work okay, but not perfectly.  On some movies it prompts me to enter the code to bypass the blocking, but on a couple of others, it flashes the screen quickly that it can't play it due to parental controls and then takes me back to the main screen for the DVD.  I guess as long as it doesn’t play the movies that I don’t want the kids to watch, that is okay for now, but this will require some research to figure out what is going on.
