[QUOTE="nalex888, post: 892620, member: 127394"] Dear mm, Thanks for your help. My version of XP/MediaCenterXP could be strange... In an attempt to be able to switch sound channels on my version of Mediacenter, I uninstalled a "Rollup update 2 of Mediacenter", which made MC relatively unstable (but I do get to choose which language to watch my movies in now). Later attemps of reinstalling the update have failed. But I was able to install SP3. So I am not too surprised that some things could be missing... While my version of MediaCenterXP is genuine, I only have self-saved "recovery disks" (thanks to Sony), but no realy systems disks. Due to the amount of things I installed and changed to my system (drive configuration, programs, etc.), I was trying to keep XP for as long as possible instead of resetting the system. At the same time I am having some really big problems testing to finally move to Windows 7 (with a test installation not recognizing my graphics card), so I was not wanting to go there either. So I hope that I will get this done, but with a bit of luck another day or two (weeks) should get me there (also hoping that my OS is less screwed up than you are afraid it is)... If I don't, I will either have to reset the system, or buy a new machine (mine is from about 2006, so it probably is at its end of "useful life"). I will let you know how it goes, Best regards, Nico [/QUOTE]
