[cheetah05]

Hi there,

I am planning to do a full format of my media center soon with a fresh XP Home install and was wondering what services media portal needs for full functionality?

What services should i keep running?

Its a cheapo media center so i need as little running as possible.

Thanks.

Thanks for that.

My Media Center does recieve internet via the network as is used as a file server too, so i assume that it would be similar process' needed although my media center has a wireless network card in it to so i will need the service specific to settings that up started.

Thanks again.
