I have my 360 connected to my media center pc. The movies on my pc run fine in media center but when i try to run them on my xbox 360 i get the error message "A critical Media Center process has failed. Restart your computer..." Has this happened to anyone? DOes anyone know how to fix it?

Most my videos are in the .m4v format. Is there anyway to get this to play in Media Center?

Actually narly, your way worked now and i have media center edition and it looks awesome. My only problem is now i cant find the actual media center application anywhere (its not in accessories > entertainment). Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find it? EDIT: yeah i found it yesterday. it was in accessories but at the very bottom so i didnt see it. Now if you could help me in getting mediac enter to play mpeg-4 videos, that would be awesome. I have another thread on that too but no ones replying.

Hey narly, once i finish the installation of the second cd, do i just restart and ill have media cetner? i know that after installing the media center it wants the first cd again so how do i get that to happen with what you told me to do?

Thanks narly and bionicman. I have a few questions though. Narly, you have a comma in that statement that im supposed to put into run, are those two seperate things or should i enter them as one? also, ever since i screwed up the media center installation, some programs such as wordpad and paint stopped working, im just wondering if thats supposed to happen. After i do that hack, it still says windows xp pro. Where am i supposed to get the .int files that you're telling me to download, bionicman?

That seems to complicated for me. Thanks for your help though. I might just try editing the registry and see if that works. What sort of stabilityissues are you talking of?

I was hoping to just upgrade. Is there a way to do this without formatting my hard disk? such as with editing the registry as i have above?

I tried doing installation of mce, choosing the upgrade option. When it asked for the sp2 cd, i didnt know what to do so i clicked cancel. Now i know i was supposed to put in the 1st one. But whenever i do the installation agian it doesnt ask for the second cd anymore and it jsut installs xp pro. I know i have a valid key cuz the first time it asked for a second cd. Can someone help me with this? i saw some people sayign that you can edit the registry and that will make it work. I did that but i didnt try to install because i was afraid that it might ruin my system or something so i wanted to see if anyone can assure me that it will work if i edit the reg by adding HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\WPA\MediaCenter and then making a DWORD "Installed" with value "1".
