Curious about which version of Media Center you have?
When the subject of which version of Media Center someone is running there is often some confusion - this is because the version of the Media Center software and the Windows XP version are different. To identify the version of Media Center you are running do the following:
- Start Media Center
- On the start page scroll down and select "Settings"
- Click "General"
- Now select "About Media Center" - it's right at the bottom of the list
If the version displayed is not "Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004" you're not running the 2004 release - contact the manufacturer of your PC (i.e. HP, Gateway etc.) and ask about getting an upgrade.
