| Compaq Presareo Win 7 SP 1 purchased with WIN 7 INSTALLED. I had Windows Media Center
but now I can't find it. I did some cleaning up of things I didn't use and must have deleted it by mistake. I have sought a download site from Microsoft and others but have been unable to find one. I do not have an installation disk but do have some disks that I made at the suggestion of the mfg. Is there a way to download the program or reinstall it from the disks that I made. I also have a FACTORY_IMAGE (D) drive but I do not know how to use these to reinstall the program. Can anyone tell me how I can do it? TIA |

| I found this in another forum. It may help you: 1. Open Control Panel/Programs and Features. Note: If you turn off WMP, Windows Media Center will be turned off either. You may need to re-configure settings for Windows Media Center after re-enabling it. 4. Open "Turn Windows features on or off" again. Turn on the features "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Media Center". Restart. |

| Thank you Bob. Your post did the trick. When I found the info for windows media player and windows media center they were both checked. I took a chance and unchecked them. Then restarted my computer. After making the changes it restarted and then I went back as you suggested and checked them to enable and restarted (not sure it was needed). When I checked the programs lo and behold there was Windows Media center and the player. I put shortcuts on the DT and will be careful what I do after this. Thanks again, John W. |
