Solve : lost MCE after re-installing XP?

Answer»

Hello!
Could someone please help?
(Windows XP (Professional) Service Pack 2
Media Center EDITION 2005
512 MB ram; 80GB HARD drive;)
A few months ago I was having some problems
with my computer, and I installed XP over itself.
Everything went al right, until I got to Disk 2;
It kept ASKING for disc2 But would not accept it;
at the time I thought nothing of it as the disc 1 was
completed OK.
But I realized media center was no longer there.
I thought it would be in,
"Add/Remove Windows Components"
it's not there;
the only thing I found in c:/ folder is "MEDIACTR"
there's an I386 folder;
when I opened this there are cab files.
In my documents I found "WXP - MCE.EXE-1"
but when I clicked on it I got a dialog box "the application
failed to initialize properly ( OXc0000135).click on OK to
terminate the application".
It's entered correctly in the registry.
the dword is 1.

I got information from Microsoft to use disc2
I tried every step there, down to the Registry hack.
nothing worked. Here is the URL I used.

Thanks for any help!

I have here a Windows XP Media Center Edition. Media Center Edition have two disc to complete the installation. When you insert the disc two and it won't accept it then I think somethings problem with your installer.
Hi SHENGTON!
thanks or you note!
Microsoft has admitted that there is a problem,
with the disc 2; it's in that URL in my post;
