WIndows XP Media Center did not install totally

Hey guys and gals,
I had a new WinXP Media Center disc set to install into my Boot Camp. But, when installing into my new iMac flat screen all alum. computer, there is no way to eject the CD 'during' the installation of WinXP. Thus it only uses disc one for the install of XP.
One 'can' eject the CD by rebooting the computer (hold down the off switch in back) and when the screen color appears, hold down the left mouse click button. But, the Installation process 'restarts'. Thus getting 'disc two' to be installed isnt possible. (During the installation, Windows stops and says 'please install disc two and press enter when its ready, which you cannot do, so its stuck there. I finally found that hitting 'Escape' key 'continues' the process of loading WindowsXP).
So.. My question is, can Windows XP Media Center be loaded still? Or is it not possible.
By the way, I am loving this iMac. Never had one before. This is AWESOME!!! Very impressed with Leopard. Very impressed.
Bill

Hey Stefan,
I have already done alot of setting up of Windows XP. I didnt want to wipe it all out. Would I need to backup all my files in XP to do the OS repair?
So you already have a Windows XP on your Mac, right ?
To my knowledge the MCE version has no update mechanism included for such a scenario.
But I might be wrong.
What happens when you you run Windows and insert the MCE CD ?
Are you prompted with a possibility to update ?
If not, then my first assumption is correct and a complete reinstallation is your only choice.
Have a look at WinClone for a backup of your current XP installation.
Thats what I am afraid of.
Hope not...

Windows 7 (64-bit) did not install scanner part of 1310 Series 1315xi.,,

Just bought 64-bit Windows 7, which detected and reInstalled my All-in-One's Printer and Copier, working well, so I don't want to buy new, but did not install Scanner. My 1310 Series installation disk was not for Windows 7, actually, nothing past Vista and XP, and Win 7 doesn't seem to be recognizing even new dIsks, taking it in tomorrow for a D-Drive. Is there a 1310 Series installation disk for Windows 7? My All-in-One is actually year 2004 , 1315xi, and when I bought it, only the Series disk would install it. The printing and copying equipment works so well that I do not want to buy a new printer. Would I have to first UnInstall the whole thing to use new installation disk to include Scanning? Thanks in Advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You need to have the TWAIN driver for the 1315xi in order to use the scanner.
There is no Windows 7 scanner software available from HP.

When I re-installed iTunes, it said it did not pass the "Windows Logo" testing for Windows XP. It did not install everything because of this. How do I fix this?

This is why it does not recognize my iPod Classic (it can't sync my iPod because it can't be found). Why does the Windows Logo test fail for Windows XP when trying to re-install iTunes?

On an XP system, that can indicate trouble with the Windows OS dlls associated with Cryptographic services.
I'd first try the fixit from the following Microsoft document.
You cannot install some updates or programs

Windows 8 media center does not see blu ray

G'day - Setup is a BDP-3100, a laptop w/ Windows8.1, a Synology server and a panasonic TV. All are DLNA. The blu-ray can see the laptop as a DLNA server and the laptop can see the Blu Ray is on the home group Windows Media play can see the Synology server and the TV; it does not list the Blu-Ray MY GOAL: I no longer own a CD-ROM. Trying to copy photos off of a CD using the Blu-ray. Oh, and actually playing Blu-rays on the laptop would be nice. What am I missing?

Hello twalsh99, thank you for your message. Welcome to SONY Community!
Unable to play, stream, or throw media content using the DLNA feature
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the Internet video device is connected to an active Internet connection.
Make sure that the latest system software update has been performed on the Internet video device.
The words play, stream, or throw are used to describe sending media over a DLNA® network from one device to another. Use this solution if you have set-up your DLNA Certified® devices according to the instruction manual or help file of each device and you are still experiencing difficulty getting your DLNA network to function.
1. Is the Media Server, Media Server Software and Client Device all DLNA Certified?
If the answer is Yes go to Step 2.
If the answer is No replace the device with a DLNA Certified device.
NOTE: Not all products are DLNA Certified devices guaranteed to work in every DLNA network.
Are the Media Server and Client Device on the same network? If they are on the same network, the Client Device will be able to see the Media Server as in the following example:
NOTE: You can also do the same check from the Media Server file sharing application. Refer to the supplied operations guide or help files for information on how to check and see if the Client device is listed in the screen.
If the answer is Yes go to Step 3.
If the answer is No follow the sub-steps below:
1. Confirm that the devices are connected to the same network. This can be done by doing an IPCONFIG check using a computer. In locations where there are several different Wi-Fi networks close to each other, one device could actually connected to different network.
2. Make sure that the Firewall settings on the router are not preventing the Media Server from seeing the client device. Refer to the instructions supplied with the Router or contact your Internet service provider for assistance.
3. Reset the router.
4. If the router has the UPnP setting turned On, try turning it Off and reboot the router.
5. If the router has the IGMP snooping setting turned On, try turning it Off and reboot the router.
Can the Client Device see the Media Server?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 5.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Refresh the Internet services feature on the client device.
2. Verify that the maximum number of servers on the Client device has not been met. If the number has been exceeded remove other Media Servers. Refer to the manual supplied with the Client device for further information.
3. Run the Network Diagnostic or Troubleshooting feature of the Client Device.
4. Power cycle the Client Device, the Router and the Media server by turning each one off and then removing the power cord for 1 minute.
NOTE: Always refresh or rescan the Client Device to search for media servers after making any of the changes listed above.
4. Can the Media Server see the Client Device?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 5.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Check the firewall settings on the routerto make sure that it is not preventing the Media Server from seeing the Client Device.
2. Make sure the Client Device was set-up correctly.
3. If using a wireless connection, make sure that the Internet signal is not being interrupted or lost. Refer to the manual or help files for the Internet speed requirements.
NOTE: A Wired connection is recommended to reduce interference or loss in speed.
5. Can you see the file you want to play from the Client Device?
If the answer is Yes, go to Step 6.
If the answer is No try the following:
1. Confirm all necessary settings are enabled on your Media Service Device. The following solutions will provide assistance when using a Windows 7 PC:
How to set up and troubleshoot a home network.
How to set up a DLNA server.
If the Client Device being used is a computer, try temporarily disabling firewall and virus protection Through the firewall or Security Suite application. Some firewall and virus scanners can control the access of the computer input and output.
6. The media file is listed on the play list but will not play.
Download the sample files to the Media Server and confirm that it plays.
NOTE: If the device is able to play one of these files, then the media file being used may not be formatted in a manner that is supported by the Client device. DLNA supports specific file formats or profiles. Media files that do not match the profiles are not supported.
If you are still experiencing problems, we also suggest trying another Media Server software such as Serviio, Skifta, Twonky. Or another Media Server and repeat the set-up process.

Boot Camp Windows 8.1 Installation Did Not Install Network Card

I just installed a Windows 8.1 Boot Camp partition on a new Mid 2013 MBA. The install ran the support software and installed the drivers. However I don't show any network cards in my Windows 8.1 installation. I reran the support sw manually and it went through and supposedly fixed any driver errors but I still don't see a network card or have a network connection. It works just fine in my OSX partition, so it is definately a driver issue. *** do I need to do to get the network driver installed?

In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,
If you have any joy solving your trackpad device driver issue, feel free to post here (there might be a similar fix for my wireless adapter device)

Windows XP Media Center Edition does not suport ipod nano...need programs

I was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano, but that there are online programs available that would allow me to use my ipod with Windows XP Media Center. Does anyone know of these porgrams?? If so, could you recommend a website? Thanks!

was just informed by Apple Service that Windows XP Media Center does not support ipod nano
Correct. Sort of.
Windows Media Center is not a computer. Just as Mac OS is not a computer. It is a operating system. (a version of Windows XP).
You have a PC with Windows XP Media Center.
You cannot use Windows Media Center OS to load the iPod.
You need to load iTunes to manage the iPod.
And yes, you can use the iPod Nano on Windows XP Media Center.

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7 in compatibility mode or any other way. I receive error " can not open \device\memory" and then " This program can not run on his hardware.
Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

Hi Tamekia,
I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.
Level-three uninstall, and register the Windows Installer Service

The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:

Right mouse click the msi file and select INSTALL

Media Encoder update 4.1 did not install correctly?

I updated Production Premium package to 4.1 when it became available, 31. May.
Now when I check updates, Adobe Media Encoder 4.1 update is still on a list. Somehow it did not install correctly.
It is working OK and version shows 4.1.0.107.
The only problem so far I've noticed is not connected to AME but Premiere: it do not accept .VOB files.
Similar hardware (PC) / software combinations are working OK with other collagues here in our studio.
If I install the AME update again, after downloading and installation "The updating process is finished"
prompt pops up, but the update installation is not complete.
What is preventing AME to install correctly?
Just now I can not uninstall the complete package.

First thank you Harm for trying to help.
I'm just learning to use this forum. Your most useful hint was on another thread, and
I could not give you points there. I've also found many of your other posts useful in these forums.
Thanks for those as well.
And because this is Premiere forum I prefer not to hassle with my After Effects problems here.
But no, I don't get full interface at all, just usual MS error message: "Color Finesse has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
I think the most apparent reason is my heavy project, vast amount of material, lots of HD compositions and only 32 bit XP with 4 Gigs of RAM.
When I tried to make a new HD project with less material, Color Finesse's full interface opened just fine.
And because my project's color correction needs were simple foreground to background balancing for bluescreen shots, I managed to do it with Levels.
