Title: Best way to make XP Pro a media center?
Post by: Rivkid on July 05, 2007, 13:11:30 PM
Anyone know of anything like this? I was going to use Media Center Edition but Im only using an old Athlon 1000 with 256 mb RAM and a crap video card. Anyone know of a way to mod windows GUI (something like windows blinds etc..) that makes a good media center GUI?
cheers,

Pete

np :)

I really like it. There are a couple of problems atm; the biggest being that it doesnt support 5.1ch sound in WMV files but otherwise it seems v. good :)

This is perfect - just like the xbmc Ive got in the front room.  Now Ive just got to get myself a remote!

TheMallrat - this is what the m/b and processor I bought from you are now doing!! :D
