Thanks for your Response Doug,
As informative as the links were that you posted, my problem happen to be
with the install. I tried to use the information fromthe links you gave me to
help with my issues, but it showed that it was MCE 2002. The reason behind my
problems, was a small scratch in disk 2. I didn't notice it at first.
Actually tried to reinstall it a second time not knowing what the problem
was. After many hours of pulling out my hair, I finally decided to look at
the disks. Saw the scratch, did a CD repair, reinstalled. Go figure
everything came out fine and dandy!
Thanks again for the help you did give me. Even though it didn't help me
with my overlook of a simple solution, it was very informative.
Thanks again,
Eric

read 2002, which is the version of the underlying OS. Go to Settings,
General, About Media Center, Software Version to determine the version of
MCE you're running. If it is indeed 2005, then there may be a setting in the
Registry that is incorrect. See
http://www.salloway.org.uk/MediaCenter/util/index.htm#ident for a utility to
set this value to the correct number.
You can also check to
http://www.salloway.org.uk/MediaCenter/2004/version.htm to determine what
the setting should be for your installation, as well.

Hello,
I have an issue with a reinstall of XP Media Center 2005. To start some
how
the registry got corrupted (I know how, but she still denies it!). I
couldn't
get online, open up any of my files nothing.. So I decided to reformat my
hdd
and reinstall everything. Upon completion of the install, (2005 is what I
have, and this is what was installed before) it says that it is MCE 2002.
I
try to get all the updates, and they inform me for certain ones I need
2005.
I don't know what the deal is.
I tried to do the "Upgrade" by using the disk while logged into windows,
now
I have some major issues. (I cannot remember the exact errors at the
moment
as I am at work.) I do know that one of them was windows could not read ta
.NET Framework 2.0 file.
Should I try one more time to reinstall everything? or is there another
route I can try? I can't think of anythng else to do.
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.
Eric
