For those of you who are wondering what to do, you need an OS emulator. xboxexpert is using VMWare Workstation. There are others like MS VirtualPC. Some free ones to like qemu, but I'm not sure as to how well they would work with this.
People have done this before, to.

I know I can dual boot but I have my xp just the way I want it. Some people these days have HDD's cluttered up with all sorts of stuff and dont want to be bothered with Dual boots. Also most of the people were talking about here are on there parents machines and we dont need little johnny messing up his dads pc trying to dual boot and get an ass woopin when the dad gets home.

Good points..nevertheless, it's an option. I still say MS should let us play our videos off of the HD or let us stream it with Windows Media Conncect. Cheap bastards.

Forgive me if I'm a little under-whelmed, but isn't the MCE running with VMware thing kinda old news? People have been doing this since the 360 came out. I mean, its cool if you want to do a tutorial to lay out the process. I'm sure some people would appreciate that but that video made it seem like you were the first to do this which clearly isn't the case.
I didnt know anyone else did it. I'm sorry to give off that impression. Show me someone else who posted on here that did this.

The video works fine now but im just wondering does it matter if I have Windows XP Home Edition or do I have to have Windows XP Proffessional.
Will work with any Windows XP version

I didn't spend a lot of time searching but here are a couple of threads from December 2005. As far as I know there really hasn't been a good guide written for it though.

Oh I get this too. I thought it was a codec issue. All I have to test are AVI's. Try a mpg and see if you get the same error.
yea...i tried mpg files and its still a no go
so far, non of my videos work....maybe its a video card issue. my VMware installed the default video drivers (VMware SVGA II). is it possible to change that?
Post by: mack_t on May 24, 2006, 11:38:00 AM
it seems that i cant get media center (on the xbox) to open pictures in files that i allowed for sharing. it gives me a "shortcut error". however, if i close media center(on the xbox) and go to pictures, it reads everything fine.
i'll continue to fiddle with it...hopefully it'll work!!!!

i know that i was asking what store. i looked at stores like bestbuy and compusa and they didnt have it for sale.
i got mine from http://www.canadacomputers.com/ , however it says with purchase of system only...i had a friend that works there that sold me one.
i am pretty sure most local computer shops have them.
hey xboxexpert: i was looking at your site (the repair one) and just wanted to say w0w....but a picture cought my eye...the first pic in your album, with the chapstick - what are you planning to do with that?
