XP Media Center Edition 2002 or 2005

When I right click on my computer and click Properties, the operating system is listed under "Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 3." However, the sticker from that machine came it's Media Center Edition 2005. I'm assuming that the computer is correct, in which case, gateway lied to us a few years ago, when we bought the computer?

As he has Service Pack 3 installed in the period after, so he gives the copyright until 2007. If she didn't have SP3, then you can be confirmed on up to copyright 2005. But now, in this system update that I can't conclude anything on what has been, this is the original version that was provided by your OEM. S.Chatterjee

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

  • 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.

  • Install XP to Media Center Edition 2005 discs

    Start my laptop I get the error "missing or corrupt hal.dll file" my problem is without XP Media Center Edition 2005 installation discs.  Download anything from Microsoft?  Or is there another way to get such an animal?

    It of good that you have the CD and made sure it works in another system.  If it is not useful for this, it can come in hand another day.

    Now, it seems you might have a hardware problem.

    You know the system brand and model?

    Does the system beeps when you turn it on, it?

    The beeps are codes that can help you understand what is wrong.

    Generally, a short beep to the power up is a good sign.

    If you hear beeps other, try to describe them in writing as best you can.  His brief, two short, a short one long, three short films, etc.

    Describe the beeps like this:

    beep-beep-beep (3 short films)
    beep-beeeeeeeep (1 short, 1 long)
    beeeeeeep-beeeeeeep-beeeeeeep (3 long)
    beep (2 short films)

    Tell us the brand and model of your laptop or details, you can so we can give you the best advice.

    If you do not have the recovery CD of Console, there's power up (even with the other error message) or it will stop?

    If the fans are running, it's good and if it was me, I unplug the laptop from the wall, remove the battery and open any Panel on the bottom I could open upward with too much force (you may need a screwdriver) and wiggle or disconnect and reconnect all what I see (which disconnects), which resembles a connection put back together and see if it lights correctly then.

    You want to just take simple things like the RAM modules, cables, you can easily disconnect/reconnect the hard drive, etc just do one thing at a time, so you don't mix.  Unplug the unit, plug it in...

    Someone else may have other ideas.

    Send me your computers off and I'll fix them or get back them for parts and donate to charity, or someone who can use it to a system that works.
