Default Running Vista Home Premium but no Media Center

I just set up my Xbox 360 for wireless gaming and it works fine. What I am
trying to do is set up so I can stream Music, Vid and pics to the Xbox. From
what I understand it that Vista Home Premium comes with Windows Media Center
and I do have Vista Premium but cannot locate Media Center anywhere on the
system. Is there anything I can do to go about getting it since I do not have
it and apperantly Vista Premium is supposed to have it already?

Default Running Vista Home Premium but no Media Center

Only Vista Home Premium "Media Center Edition" includes Media Center. You
can upgrade for about $160.

You're wrong Dave. Here are two examples of Vista Home Premium WITHOUT Media
Center.

Bob,

I don't think you know what Windows Media Center is....

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...diacenter.mspx

"But with Windows Vista, Windows Media Center is no longer a separate
edition but simply integrated within the Windows Vista Home Premium and
Windows Vista Ultimate editions."

I know exactly what Windows Media Center is. I own one.

In spite of the link you gave me the fact remains there are Vista Home
Premium machines out there WITHOUT Media Center. That's why the OP can't
find Media Center on his Home Premium machine.

Did you even look at the links I gave you?

LOL,

Those were links to computer systems that come with Vista.
Windows Media Center is a program, that is part of Vista Home Premium and
Ultimate.

You're probably talking about a computer system designed for playing media,
aka a "Media Center PC" or "Media Center System".

If the OP has Vista Home Premium, he has Windows Media Center.

Or is he/you talking about Xbox Media Center, which is something entirely
different?
