I have an HP Media Centre Edition 2004 and am upgrading to 2005. Has anyone
done this, and encountered any problems? The following possible problems
(below) were shown on this website
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&docname=c00247142
Software behavior differences to note after Installing Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005 Upgrade
a.. Upgrade fails to initiate, stops, or an unexpected popup message
displays. When installing the MCE2005 upgrade, should the installation
process fail to initiate, or stop before it is complete, or display an
unexpected popup message, such as "Please insert your SP2 CD," eject the
upgrade DVD disc, re-insert it, and try again. You may need to do this
several times. The upgrade DVD contains all the necessary files to complete
the MCE2005 upgrade.
a.. Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Upgrade cannot be
uninstalled. The MCE2005 upgrade once installed cannot be uninstalled using
either the system restore or add/remove programs utilities. If it is
necessary to return the computer to its previous operating system
environment, a standard recovery is the only way to do so.
a.. DVD playback freezes. While viewing a DVD movie from the inset window
(the area in Media Center that displays TV, pictures, and videos), if you
open the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) or the Media Center Start page and
use the keyboard or mouse to browse the menu screens, DVD playback freezes.
In this situation, if you close Media Center, the PC will take a longer than
usual time to shut down the computer.
a.. TV picture quality choppy. If you browse the menu screens while
viewing live TV in the inset window, you may notice that the picture
momentarily pauses or appears choppy.
a.. Prompt to activate Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
While installing the MCE2005 upgrade over Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
Edition, you will be prompted to enter the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
Edition Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The COA key is a 25-character
alphanumeric sequence that is unique to your computer and is used for
validation. After completing the upgrade, you will be prompted to enter the
COA key again to validate the installation with Microsoft (you must be
connected to the Internet).
a.. Recorded TV sample demo does not play. After installing the MCE2005
upgrade over Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, the recorded TV
sample demo will not play and only a black screen will display. Installation
of the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 upgrade removes the
sample file.
a.. Restore point not available. After installing the Microsoft Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005 upgrade over an original version of Microsoft
Windows XP Media Center Edition, a restore point set prior to the upgrade
will no longer be available (even when SP26352 containing the Microsoft QFE
835409 was installed as part of Step 4 in the Before Upgrading to Microsoft
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 section above). Following the upgrade,
the earliest restore point available will be the first one set.
a.. Unable to invoke standby mode from remote. After installing MCE2005,
you will be unable to invoke Standby Mode from the remote, although it is
possible to do this from the keyboard.
a.. Video error exiting Standby Mode to resume DVD playback. While playing
a DVD, you place the Media Center in Standby Mode. Later you wish to resume
playback by exiting Standby Mode, but a video error displays on a black
screen. This may happen as a result of the system failing to detect the
viewing device. Remove the DVD, and restart the system.
a.. Video error switching from DVD playback to Live TV. The Media Center
may hang when switching from DVD playback to Live TV. The spinning-arrow
progress indicator will continue to spin (for about 30 seconds) until a
video error is displayed. Remove the DVD, and restart the system.
a.. Burning recorded TV to CD or DVD stops. Burning recorded TV to CD or
DVD intermittently hangs at 36% of completion.
a.. Intermittent sluggish performance. Intermittently, sluggish
performance may be noticed after switching from Live TV to Radio, or after
selecting a pre-set radio channel. Also, occasionally no sound will be heard
after selecting Start FM.
a.. Get Recorded TV Shows in Sonic MyDVD does not work. After installation
of the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 upgrade, the Get
Recorded TV Shows link in Sonic MyDVD does not work.
a.. Power scheme setting changed. After installation of the MCE2005
upgrade, the computer's power setting will be changed from Energy Star to
Home/Office Desk
