Windows XP Edition Media Center key also works for XP Home Edition?

Hi all

We had a laptop (A-100), which WinXP MCE is installed. Also, we do not have a restore CD.
Now I want to format C: and re - install Windows - but I have a windows xp home edition Setup CD.

So my question is:

* Fact (legal!) Key XP MCE does work with XP Home Edition? *

Thank you for the useful answers or advice! =)

Hello

The key that you can find on the lower part belongs to the copy that you have with your laptop and it is not a universal key.
In General, you can't use it to activate Windows XP Home edition, if you use Microsoft installations CD.
You can try it, but I'm 99% sure that this will not work.

    When I run Windows Media CENTER I get a message that "Windows Media Center has stopped working... Windows is checking for a solution to the problem. "The message goes away and that's it.

    Anyone got any ideas on how I can get the WMC to operate on remote desktop?

    Not very well why this would be considered as a matter of "ITPro.

    It's probably debatable that MS really intended for MC to be used via RDP, I'm not sure they believed that the feature has been used very well at all judging by what they were doing in Windows 8

    However, there are two possibilities on the cause of this. An update of the RDP client can be the culprit, but it is not always a good idea to block any update.

    You can also the following reg key

    Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10

    Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.

    After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

    After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

    I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center. It starts no problem, but when I click on recorded TV, it says that "Windows Media Center has stopped working, seeking resolutions... "If I click on TV guide there is no problem. I tried a restore, but for some reason any restore function has been disabled.

    You has not, coincidentally, happens to record last Friday (I think it is?) episode of human target (what happened to be replaced by a House reruns), did you?
    Reason I ask: it has been a little traffic on to thegreenbutton on the subject these days - and everyone who reported also arrived to try to save human target.  Somehow, the file finished with metadata is corrupted, what makes MC crash when you enter recorded TV (at best, it crashes when you select the program from the list.)
    FIX: Open Explorer and go to C:\users\Public\Recorded TV.  Find and remove "human Target__"(exemple: «La Target_WDIVDT_2010_10_01».) ".

    Hi herbyderbydo,

    1A what difficulties have you tried Microsoft?

    2. does come with any specific channel?

    This problem occurs if the process of updating Windows Media Center (Mcupdate.exe) cannot access the Windows Media Center data store.

    You'll need to rebuild the Windows media center data store and check if it works.

    Run the tool fixit here automatically to rebuild the data store.

    You can also try manually as follows:

    1.

    Exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.

    2.

    Delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:

    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB

    To remove the file, follow these steps:

    one.

    Click Startand then click run

    b.

    In the Open box, type run , and then click OK
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue

    c.

    In the Open box, type %systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome , and then click OK .

    d.

    In the details pane, right-click right mediacenterdatastore.db and then click Remove .

    e.

    Click Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the trash.

    3.

    Start Windows Media Center.

    If the previous step fails, check the event viewer to determine the cause of the problem and post here
