Windows XP Media Center Edition (or XPMCEfor short) is a special version of MS Windows XP designed for use on a monitor or television screen and with features targeted at home entertainment such as storing pictures, music and video. It can be controlled with a remote control instead of a mouse.

Probably in early October. Most PC makers say that they will start taking orders on XP-based PC SKUs in late September, and begin shipping systems in early October.

Please refer to Microsoft Windows XP End-User License Agreement on Windows Genuine Advantage Kit for Windows XP is packaged differently, and is distributed directly by Microsoft only to customers who qualify for the genuine Windows offer.

Most programs that work on Windows 95/98/Me and NT will work on versions of Windows XP. As with Windows 2000, several compatibility updates are sure to made after the product is released. There will be problems running older DOS programs (if they will run at all).

Most major PC manufacturers build one or more Media Center PCs, such as Sony, Dell and HP. However, with the release of XPMCE 5, Microsoft has relaxed the licensing allowing many more manufacturers to build PCs based around the OS

This problem is solved in recent Cygwin/X releases. Use cygwin setup to upgrade the xorg-x11-xwin package. The older X11 releases on the various commercial unices define the AltGr key as ModeSwitch, MetaR, AltR or similar. Cygwin/X expects it to be ISO_Level3_Switch. For reasons unknown to us this is reset when loggin into the remote host. As far as we don't have access to such a machine we are unable to track this down and find a reason.

Yes - the calculators work with XP SP2, just like they worked with XP SP1. The only difference is a small security message that appears if you install Java using their automatic installation routine (available at www.java.com). In the previous version of Windows XP, Java would install without any special prompting. In XP SP2, you need to click "download" from the security message that appears.

Every Xbox 360 also works as a Media Center Extender-which means you'll be able to access recorded TV (including high-definition shows) and digital movies (including high-definition films), music, video, and photos stored on Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005-based PCs through any Xbox 360. What's more, you can stay connected to Xbox Live and still receive game invites and messages from your friends while watching your favourite TV shows or movies.

No, the Hauppauge remote control that is included with the HVR -1600 only supports the WinTV application. For Media Center, you will need to use the Microsoft ehome infrared receiver. This optional remote is available through the Hauppauge webstore. This error message indicates that the WinTV middleware/channel manager is missing. Reinstall the HcwChanDB.exe from your WinTV CD ROM.

It has the same basic features as before, but it sports a redesigned menu system, mainly so you can control it from an Xbox 360 over your home network.

Ordinarily that answer is Yes, because Media Center is based on XP Pro. However, I have found some disk partition management and backup programs that did not work. In addition, there are apparently many audio and music programs that may not work - there's a detailed list here.

Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS are all supported and processed. Remember all audio is processed by the Cell and developers can use whatever audio codecs they want…so this is only the beginning.

We do not provide technical support for Windows Media Player. If you have trouble with this software, please contact Microsoft.

CPC software runs in the Command window of Windows NT, XP, and Win2000. This Command window (often referred to as a DOS window) is, by default, setup with "QuickEdit Mode" selected. This prevents the mouse from selecting items in any DOS application screen. You will need to turn off QuickEdit Mode to get normal use of the mouse. If you find that you cannot use your mouse to select screen items, the fix is simple.

Symptoms: Internet Explorer no longer allows a right-click to open a new window. LiveUpdate no longer functions correctly. The error "Incompatible Version of the RPC Stub" is received. Reason: These errors are caused when a newer version of a DLL like Oleaut32.dll and Olepro32.dll (and possibly others) are installed on incompatible systems. For example, Oleaut32.dll version 3.

Welderqual is a full 32-bit application, so it will work quite happily on Windows 98, 2000, NT and XP.

To fix this you need to configure Windows firewall to allow ports 6970 through 6979 UDP protocol through the firewall. To open the ports see the section "example of unblocking an application" in Technote 1003 but instead of adding an application add a port and start with port 6970 protocol UDP. You will have to add 10 port exceptions although adding 3 or four often works.

For in-game audio, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS are all supported and processed by the Cell. However, keep in mind that since all the audio processing is done by the Cell, developers can use or create whatever audio codecs they desire. 7.1 channel support is already announced, but again, given developers' ability to program their own codecs, this may only be a starting point.
