Once completed press a key and your system will rebootĤ. This is to change from a dword to a string value as needed by MCE.ģ. You will be prompted to delete a registry key. Once loaded you will see a command prompt that will make needed changes to allow MCE to be installed. Installation instructions aren’t that complicated:Ģ. You don’t have to purchase Windows MCE licence of course, also your serial will remain valid. These two operating system are very similar so it’s not that complicated and this converter has only something above 300 MB. So although you can install XP-MCE, don't expect the Media Center portion to work, unless you're installing this in Boot Camp and you have 256MB physical video RAM.Someone from the scene decided to release quite an interesting thing: converter, which allows you to upgrade your Windows XP to newer version, Windows Media Center Edition 2005. The max video ram for a VMWare virtual machine is is 128MB. Anything less gives stange problems, if the Media Center app even starts at all. Second, Meda Center requires 256MB of video ram. Either convert the disks to ISOs or Google on installing XP-MCE to Boot camp for workarounds.

The Mac CD eject button may not work during the initial install. You need to switch the CDs during install. First, the whitebox XP-MCE comes on 2 CDs. You need a "whitebox" version of XP-MCE, rather than a "branded" version of Windows.Īssuming you still obtain a copy of XP-MCE, since it's not being sold anymore, a couple of caveats. That's what's probably causing the reboots. Since you have a Gateway branded copy of XP-MCE, the installation is probably installing drivers specific to that model of Gateway that the disks were intended for. That said, XP-MCE is normally only available as an OEM install. It will work in a virtual machine, Fusion or otherwise. It has the Media Center stuff added and the ability to join domains disabled.
