I just purchased a firewire audio interface (a.I.) and am finding out that
Media Center Edition of XP Pro does not play nice with these things.
Apparently the a.I. software may not be certified for MCE, I don't know
exactly what the issue is but from what I've read online the a.I. software
won't install if it reads MCE as the OS. This occurs whether or not the
Media Center services are enabled or disabled.
Is anyone familiar with this issue?
I have an old copy of XP Pro. If nothing else works I may have to install
it over MCE. If I do, will that wipe all my settings and will I have to
reinstall all my programs or is there a way to do a nice clean XP install
over MCE and save everything else?
thanks,
Veech
