Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 it should work, because media center is pretty much a cross between xp home and pro with a different gui and the actual media center running as a program, not an actual os. I think?????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Actually Sony Clie, but same OS).I called Sony, Palm, and Microsoft. All said the same thing, there is no work around, so I am now using my Clie on Win 2000 at work.Other programs like Marine screen saver also are affected (It runs but with a refresh issue).So, my experience has been there is a difference in what runs under XP Pro and XP Media. I don't have regular XP to compare.That being said, I love XP Media and don't plan to change it,Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Yes, I have a hp media center and love it. Built in tv tuner 200 gb hard drive, remote control. I ran it this year with LOR and had absolutely NO problems whatsoever. Hoping to get the removable harddrive soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, windows media player wouldn't open videos in web pages and all the setting were correct. I looked up the problem on microsoft's web site and it always says "We are looking into this problem." They've been looking for a long time. At least I got firefox (which is sooooo cool) and it plays vids in web pages.Maybe they should give us stuff for free and we test it for them.

That is why these days I give a new OS at least a year before I jump into it. Spent too much time on the past trying to find out what I did wrong, only to discover (later) it was a problem in their software..I'll stick with XP for at least a year once folks try out there next release (Vista I believe).GregAs to the free part, oh well........
