In the tray you should have the "Safely remove hardware" icon, regardless of the size of the USB drive. Just click that and stop the device.

Hello and welcome to THE forum Windows XP Media Center is basically XP Professional without domain support and media center components added. Have you tried your device in a machine running XP Pro and it was OK?

Make sure you have UPNP devices set to be shown. I encountered the same issue and that solved it.

First off, hello and welcome to THE forum Second, just use Vista a bit longer then image it and install XP if you really don't like Vista. Remember that you can downgrade the Vista licence to XP by calling Microsoft hotline.

It is safe to delete those files as they are not needed...

Have you floppy disk with the SATA drivers in your drive and right after booting off the XP install CD press F6.

From reading your error message it appears that the multiplayer executable is at fault. Have you tried to reinstall the game? Ona side note, are you using any cracks?

Those types of (human) errors are quite common... I remember when I networked some ~15 pc's for a small company and the evening before I was invited to a party with lots of beer. Needless to say that I shoved the SAME IP address in every pc then wondered where the heck those IP conflict pop-ups come from

I think I will buy 2 of these to play Solitaire over LAN

When you go to update Windows, do any language packs appear as optional updates?

You can compress the file

I second Acronis True Image. @Micropocalypse As a piece of advice, don't mention warez here as it is NOT tolerated at all. Have you read our rules?
