I own a copy of media center 2005 by virtue of my HP Media Center PC that I
purchased in June 2005. I happily upgraded to Vista and thought WOW. Well, I
am having so many problems with Vista. I can't take having to reinstall Vista
and all my programs any longer. SIX times! I am so behind on all off my work
and ......my life. I want my XP. But its preinstalled on my HP pavilion. I
don't want to reformat my HD again when I install XP. All I have is the disks
from HP with all the old preloaded programs. It takes a whole day just to get
a useful working computing environment up, from start to finish. Thats
including three hours of downloading MS's XP updates because I bought the
machine in 2005.
On the side of my PC is the Microsoft XP MCE product key. Can I get a copy
of it to download and use the Product Key I own. Its my understanding that
its my copy. Do I have to live with the HP disks? Is it possible to get a
clean copy. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I have the key. Please, I
really want to get working like I used to on XP. I thought Vista was going to
rock. I was so excited to have bought the high end HP in 2005 to accommodate
Vista. Great decision. I spent money on for upgrading memory and a my
graphics card. I bought Vista HP and it was ***. I thought Ultimate would
solve all the problems. So I bought the HP upgrade to Ultimate. $350 later
and days upon days and weeks WASTED. What a let down. I like Vista, yes. But
it just won't work like it should. Does anyone here me? I have to go back and
be stable, with XP. Why did I have to waste all of April? I can't get that
month back. Can anyone help or tell where I can go to get a clean MCE copy
that my product key will activate? Please? I hope XP forgives me!
