  Hello

  All this started when my Xbox360 is dead, sent it for repair, came home another, all hung up and tried to connect to the Media Center. Of course, it did not work and the screen says to uninstall? (something), I forgot today, it has been a long road since then. BUT I uninstalled Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and updates that came after. NOW realize it was a mistake, I'm not of the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 on your computer.

• Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
  When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
  When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
  With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
  However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
  I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

  Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

  At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

  I have a SONY VAIO and I have Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 there.  I am running through some virus problems and want to do a clean install of Windows on them.  Only problem is that I only have a Windows XP Edition family and professional installation disc.  Can I use the same product code of the Media Center edition and not met with licensing issues?

  I can't speak for Sony, but I saw different Dell product keys work on Media Center and home of CDs.

  fixed by adding a few folders to sort the files.
