XP MCE version 2005 on box but under my computer version 2002

[Guest]

Hi,

Probably a stupid question but it's bugging me. I just bought a new computer
with xp mce 2005 installed. I noticed though that when I right click on my
computer it says it's version 2002 service pack 2. Is that normal?

Yes.

The definitive method of seeing the version of MCE that is installed on your
computer can be found here

How to determine the version of Media Center that you are running

Ignore what it says in the System Control Panel (where you were looking).

Yes, that is the only version and all 4 types of Windows XP display the same
version.

The MCE components run on top of Windows XP. Your Windows XP version year
is 2002 with service pack 2 installed, as it is for all MCE 2005 machines.
The MCE version is found within Media Center by going to Settings, General,
About Media Center.
