    Hello

    Windows XP Media Center is available for OEM only and if you don't have a motherboard the OEM valid, it will not activate.

    The only option would be to get a newer version of Windows if your system supports or get an OEM motherboard (HP) that you can use the recovery on.

  • 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.

    A month ago, my laptop computer motherboard fried.  I bought a similar laptop with no hard drive and a screen broken off of ebay and tinkered together in a working computer.  However, I have Windows XP home on the hard drive of the old computer and a Windows XP media center 2005 sticker on the new product key.   Product key update tool Windows won't let me upgrade to the new key.  Is there a way for me to update my windows media center Edition, so that the key work?

    What a pleasure - this really makes the license issues a joy.
    If I understand you right, "fried" your old computer was XP Home Edition - and the replacement motherboard came from a machine with MCE?
    If so, then Yes, you must use the MCE license, rather than the home one. To be entirely legal, it must also have the sticker COST MCE glued to the box.
    MCE is XP Pro - which is a reason that you can not change just the product key-based. The other is that the update tool simply is not designed to work with MCE.
    What can you do?
    Unfortunately, there is no way around it, whatever you do will involve a clean install (to backup your data first led outdoors!) If you want to stick with MCE.
     
    (1) you can go to the manufacturer of the MCE machine and ask if they can provide the recovery disc for this machine - if you're lucky, they may still have some in stock. If they are not, try restoredisks.com
    (2) you can take your life in your hands and download a torrent of a set of installation MCE - it's going to be at least two CD there are a couple of "real" out there, who are free of malicious software, but most is contaminated in some way, so be very careful and do due diligence on any download you.
    (3) you can try to find a legitimate MCE pack on sale somewhere - I don't know what it should cost, or that also the prices on them are moving from MS stopped making years and they are like gold dust. (XP Pro prices are rising, but I suspect that MCE prices may be down).
    (4) you can purchase a legal license for XP Edition family - again, be very careful where you buy-it came to a point where there are more counterfeits than legal market. This would allow you to use the update tool to keep your current installation.
     
    Note that there is no such thing as a 'detail' MCE - MCE all licenses are OEM and as such, cannot upgrade a XP Home license, where my earlier warning about backing up your data.

  • Media Center 2005 crashed I loaded Windows XP sp2. Installing XP cannot load explorer.exe and another dll file... Need help or information on how to request recovery of microsoft disk MC2005... Gateway has not.

    Help please... I have a gateway gt4024 designed with Media Center 2005. Recently, the system was not "acting accordingly so I tried to reload the OS." I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft. A link would be useful.

    BizzyBidnez,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  Here is a link to the replacement of media information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
    However, since the entrance to the bridge of your system, the product key may not work with a replacement non - OEM drive.  I'm surprised that the bridge was not able to provide a replacement drive.

  • Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

    Dear all,

    I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

    You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

    Thanks for your help and your time

    Martyna

    Hello

    Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
    A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
    If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

    You should also check that you firewall settings.

  • "IR hardware not detected" error when you try to configure the TV signal in Windows XP Media Center 2005 with Service Pack 3

    I have an HP dv6000t. He came with Yuan EC680 ExpressCard analog TV
    Tuner. When I upgraded to Vista, the IR receiver seemed to be detected,
    but after downgrading to XP MCE 2005. XP MCE 2005 was the ORIGINAL OS
    on the system (bought in November 2006). I've updated the drivers for the TWO
    the tuner card AND who do not HAVE the nVidia GeForce Go 7400 video card
    address this problem. Any suggestion on how to solve this problem would be greatly
    appreciated. What HP had try me, including Sofpaq fixes are not
    address my problem. It does not give the error "IR hardware not detected".
    overnight, it correctly detects the signal from my digital cable box.
    The main problem could partly be the we FINALLY converted to digital television
    signal and I always try to use the analog tuner ExpressCard? Once again
    any help is greatly appreciated.

    I found this fix on another site.  We're supposed to plug the IR cable to the TV box at the back of the first port on the remote sensor Windows Media (the ' antenna' of the Windows Media Center remote control) and then to put the tip of the probe of the IR cable to the cable TV box distance near the sensor on the cable box (it can be seen by a light in the glass) and then complete the configuration of the channels in Windows Media.  The problem is, it does not work unless there is also something connected to Port 2 of the medial distance sensor Windows as well (a head set will do).  With the sensor box IR cable company cable plugged into the first port in the back of the remote Windows Media sensor and headphones plugged into Port 2 of the remote sensor, Windows Media, and the end of the probe of the sensor cable box IR cable near the cable box remote sensor box, Window Media channel setup "found" the cable of the IR sensor and allow me to complete the installation.  I could not bind the Windows Media remote sensor with the remote for the cable box, but said that I managed.  I use the remote cable box to change channels and have box IR cable connected on the decoder cable TV and put the cable box IR receiver cable on top of my desk.
