Windows Media Player 11, Windows Media Center 2005 and Windows XP: download or use errors

Well, work on my sister-in-law's computer and the problem is that a certain MP3 player someone got for Christmas is only compatible with Windows Media Player.  For some reason any, when the guys from the Geek Squad traveled reload them Windows XP on the computer, Windows Media Player does not get installed.  I try to go through the Microsoft Web site to download Windows Media Player 11 (recommended by Microsoft for XP users) and the end result is an error message indicating that, in order to download this version, you must have Windows Media Center 2005 or newer installed on your computer. I try to go to the site and me this Windows Media Center 2005 and the Web site links to the download of Windows 7, which we do not want to do, with a link to "Download Windows Media Center now. Which takes me to a page explaining how to use WMC, then gives me a link to get the WMC, which brings back me to the download page of Windows 7, to infinity. There are no Windows Media Center on this computer, and we would like to get Windows Media Player for XP. How this is done?

Hello

1. from which site you want to download the Widnows Media Player?

Method 1.
I recommend you to download the Windows Media Player from the link below and check.

Method 2.
Or alternatively, you can restore your Windows XP to a previous state during the installation of Windows Media Player.

  • Windows xp Media Center 2005 edition crashes while downloading the tv guide

    Installation of Media center TV guide comes to where I choose my provider and click Next the program freezes and the only way out is via the Task Manager. Any ideas? Ive updated XP and media center edition 2005 until units there is no more updates or extensions to download.

    I was wrong, I've been experimenting and finally succeeded. It has nothing to do with nividia.

    Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. There is also a client, delete that one too.

    Anyway, I tried to put it back recently, and for me it was ok.

    I suggest that you first try the update of windows. If this does not work, uninstall the foregoing.

    Problem was more for me after that, I really believe that it will be for you too.

    Hi David

    Can you please be more specific as to our image Enhancement Utility Toshiba is on? In my opinion, you can run this utility, make any desired setting and confirm with OK. Close image Enhancement Utility and then start Media Center.

    Have you checked is this brand present on some other cases such as DVD playback or something like that?

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
