  • Reinstall windows xp media Center 2005

    Maybe someone can answer this question of resettlement. I have a computer that has a bad hard drive. It came with Windows xp media center 2005. I can replace it with Windows xp home or professional using the product id for media center 2005. As I understand it, Media center is really just professional xp that comes with media Center software installed on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

    This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

    Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

    The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

    Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120

    Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.

    Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

    PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

  • My legal copy of Windows Professional 7 does not include Windows Media Center, how do I get it?

    I bought my copy of Windows 7 Professional as an upgrade to my computer Windows Vista of origin. Windows 7 was purchased through a special student discount program that Microsoft offered. How can I get Windows Media Center legally without having to 'upgrade' my copy of Windows 7 Professional (which, according to Microsoft, you should already have Windows Media Center installed)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I thought about it. Everything you have to do is go to control panel-> programs-> turn windows features turn on or turn off "windows media features"-> expand-> check windows media center.

    It's for Windows 7 Professional.

  • CREATIX card TV no longer works for Windows Media Center after you install Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

    I recently updated my computer Windows Vista Edition Medion Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. While my computer was running Vista, I could use the tuner TV SAA7131 Creatix card in my computer to watch digital TV British, that is to say Freeview. Before my upgrade to Windows 7, I checked all my drivers would be compatible, and the Advisory program told me that they would be sufficient. However, when I tried to setup of the library to receive a TV signal, the implementation will not progress beyond the screen "Considering television signals" Percentage of completion bar gets to about 90% and then does not move, or entirely 100%, but the screen does not change, and if I try to return to the main menu screen, Windows Media Center crashes with the 'circle of rotation of loading"and does not change.

    I reinstalled Cyberlink Home Cinema after realization of the Medion TV improve extra that comes with it, but that didn't seem to help. The same problem persists.

    I have still the disk with the drivers on, but I'm not sure how to reinstall the drivers using the disk, because the record for drivers TV Tuner does she not an executable file, just a series of system files, application extensions and the DAT files.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You must find the CTX driver version in the code of your tv card provider (poster Device Manager it under hardware ID in the Details tab) in the list of suppliers PDF in the FAQ section of the site Creatix. Then, you can download the right CTX driver from the support section. Is there a Windows 7 driver for my SAA7131 card.

    azguy2009,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing I would say is to scan your system for viruses and malware.  If he's found nothing, or after cleaning, the problems are corrected so I suggest trying a system restore.  Here are the instructions for restoring the system: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084

    If this does not help, then you must run the System File Checker tool.  This article explains the tool and how to make it work: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747

  • I can triple booot Windows XP Media Center edition, Windows 7 RC1 and XP Professional?

    I installed Windows 7 in another partition on my hard drive with windows XP media edition Center on the other. I want to install a new copy of XP on another partition but windows will start Manager work with 3 installs OS.
    Thank you

    Mattacrazy108,

    You can have three different installations of an operating system to boot from. However, that being said, if you have installed Windows 7 it would be no easy way to get the third XP OS on the machine. You must uninstall the current two operating systems on your computer. From there, you would need to format and install first either XP Pro, then Media Center verse or vise. After these two operating systems have been installed, you can then install Windows 7.

    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Where is Windows Media center in Windows 7 Professional?

    Simple as that.

    I have a Lenovo thinkpad E420 with no Windows Media center 64 bit laptop. No, not at all.
    Not in the program folder files or in the search bar or anywhere at all.
    Where can I download / get somewhere so I can use it?

    If you have Windows 7 N Edition (available in some parts of Europe) then it does not come with some features, including Windows Media Center. Please see:

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/What-is-Windows-7-N-edition .

    If you do not have a Windows 7 N edition you can download the pack of media features of:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 .

    If you have a normal life (not a N) edition of Windows 7, you should see it here:

    Start-> all programs-> Windows Media Center.

    If it is not there then try to turn it on:

    1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

    4. find the entry called multimedia & tick the box next to it.

    (also, expand it and make sure that Windows Media Center is checked)

    5. click on OK.

    6 reset.

    If the multimedia box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

    If the above fails, try to find the executable file:

    1. open Windows Explorer. (not Internet Explorer)

    2. in the left pane, navigate to:

    C:\Windows\ehome

    Search for the file (if its there) ehshell.exe

    3. right click on ehshell.exe and create a shortcut/pine on the tasks/pine bar in the Start Menu.
