[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1228362, member: 141969"] I agree with [USER=74879]@HTPCSourcer[/USER] that you need to re-install Windows. But which Windows? (1) If you still have your Windows Vista DVD, you could re-install Vista and run MP1. I am not sure whether you could obtain Vista updates any more (since Vista is no longer supported by Microsoft), but if this is for a single-use HTPC system, absence of Vista updates might not matter. (2) Obtain a Windows 7 DVD. These can be purchased most easily from Ebay, although you need to be careful to avoid disreputable sellers who sell cloned DVDs that use the same activation code. These are typically the cheap sellers (£5-£10 for a DVD). There are also sellers of full-retail versions, complete with original packaging, but these are more expensive (£60-£80). (3) Obtain Windows 10 and install that. You can download an install ISO from Microsoft and use it for up to 30 days before needing to purchase an activation code. I currently use MP1 on Windows Vista, as this is still a supported combination for MP1 (just -- Windows XP is not supported by MP1 any more). I have plans to build a new HTPC, but that will use Windows 7 (I already have the DVD for it). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
