How Did You Reinstall XP PRO?
by Grif Thomas Former Forum moderator Jun 5, 2007 3:06PM PDT

In order to take the computer back to factory condition, you'll need to use the Recovery options offered by the Recovery Partition or the Recovery Discs that you created or purchased. Have you done that? If not, then you'll need to perform such a Recovery which would include the Media Center portion.

Simply reinstalling XP Pro from a standard XP Pro disc will do exactly that.. Install only XP Pro.

Hope this helps.

Everest Home Edition. It will tell you what programs you have and if you click on it, it will tell you how to update the driver.
