Microsoft Windows XP Pro Media Center Edition 2005 VLK
This is the Ultimate release and I would recommend it to my mother if she knew how to use a computer.
But enough about the intro, let me get on to the details that many of you may be asking \"why is this release so special?\"
Starting off: These are untouched and there are no extra slipstreamed programs.
You can be assured that your system will not be bloated with unneeded programs.
This is a 2 CD release and MUST be burnt to 2 single CDs. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Read on for details:
CD-1 (WINXPPROITT.NRG)
Windows XP Professional SP2 Full Student Release VLK
CD-Key: V2C47-MK7JD-3R89F-D2KXW-VPK3J
This version of Windows XP Pro will not ask you to activate.
It is a copy used in many colleges to teach students the installtion process of Windows XP.
It is, however, a full version of XP, and it has all the extras Windows XP is known to have.
This release will also allow you to log on to Microsoft.com and use Windows Update with no problem.
The CD is expected to be copied multiple times.
I hope you all enjoy this release and hopefully its the last release you will ever have to download.
To Use:
Burn the image using NERO.
CD is bootable.
Install as you would an original CD.
CD-2 (WINDOWS XP TO MEDIA CENTER EDITION 2005 CONVERTER.ISO)
.:: XP to MCE 05 Updater ::.
This disk will allow you to upgrade your windows
xp to windows mce and retain your valid/legal
license. No need to purchase an MCE liscense.
Installation
1. Burn iso to cd.
2. Boot computer from cd.
Once loaded you will see a command prompt that will make needed changes to allow MCE to be installed.
You will be prompted to delete a registry key.
This is to change from a dword to a string value as needed by MCE.
3. Once completed press a key and your system will reboot
After step 3 (preupdate rollup 2) go to the window\'s Website and run microsoft update.
Install all the updates then proceed to step 4.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>----------------------------------------------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
If rollup 2 tells you it must be installed on mediacenter, here\'s the quick fix.
Go to WindowsUpdate and download and install ALL updates listed (including rollup1 and WGA...etc.)
Once they are ALL installed, restart and then run the rollup 2 setup again.
It will install just fine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>----------------------------------------------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
-----NOTE-----
This window may appear minimized.
4. Boot into Windows normally and run the installer autorun file.
5. After each step you MUST reboot for a proper install. (Do NOT skip this step!)
6. If you are prompted to insert your XP Disk 2, point the program at the file on the disk /cmpnents/mediactr/i386/mediactr.cab
Enjoy your new MCE 05!
other Notes
If the installer program closes on it\'s own at any time, reopen it either by the autorun command or open
Cd_Setup.exe and try it again and it should work.
Remember, reboot after EACH step for a successful installation.
The Xbox 360 users optional installation is to allow Windows MCE to communicate with Media Center Extender
devices to allow for streaming across a network.
This release has been tested on Windows XP Pro, and should work fine with Corp/Vlk installations.
This Release is by far the greatest XP you\'ll ever use.
Do not take my word for it folks. You MUST try it for yourselves.
It\'s faster than any other XP out there right now.
Greatest feature of all: NO MORE WGA KILLERS OR CRACKS.
When you\'re updating from Windows update or Microsoft Update and you are prompted to install the WGA notification tool.
GO AHEAD! your system is valid and fully updatable.
This release is fully legit and Microsoft cant do a damn thing to hurt it.
