How Do You Use Your Xbox 360 As A Media Center With Windows XP Media Center Edition?
We continue this series on using your Xbox 360 as a media center by providing instructions for users with Windows XP Media Center and Windows Vista Basic. Click “Start.” Right-click on “My Computer.” Select “Properties” to display information about the Windows version you are running, along with any prominent service packs or updates. You’ll immediately know if you have the Update Rollup or not. Follow the link found in the Resources section below and look for the text that says Update Rollup 2 in blue print, right beneath the picture. Download and install the update. Download and install Windows Media Player 11 or Zune if you do not already have either one. See Part 1 for instructions on Windows Media Player 11 and Part 2 for Zune. Alternatively, download and install Windows Media Center Extender. Windows Media Extender performs the same function as Windows Vista, allowing you to share media with your 360 directly through Windows without using Zune or Windows Media Player. Find Part 1
