Windows Media Center V.2005

[kingdavid33]

I am having trouble with Windows Media Center v2005. Do I have to have windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 in order for it to work correctly. When i try to install my network drivers it says CRP Server cannot be found, and also says srclient.dll cannot be found when i try to place in my upgrade disk. any help would be useful.

Hmm..that has to do with system restore. Have you tried a different cd drive yet if you have one? Is the cd scratched? Go ahead andupdate to sp2 while you are at it

When i was installing it, it asked me for windows xp pro service pack 2 disk. The Cd's are not scratched and im using a cd/dvd drive to install them with and i dont think that matters.

would reformatting help?

 

[Osiris]

not for sure yet, it could be the cd or the cd drive...

The operating system installed fine except for that one part. all other drivers installed fine too, just not the network drivers.

 

[Osiris]

tell me exactly what you did....
example


format, install xp, upgrade to MCE

 

[kingdavid33]

first i formatted, then i put in MCE. Is MCE a type of expansion or is it an operating system in itself? In its booklet it doesnt say i needed Xp pro or anything.

 

[Osiris]

that must be an upgrade so you do need an os installed first like XP home or Pro

i just assembled the computer too.
