Please log in for more thread options Thank-you for your response.
I downloaded Mark Salloway's ident set utility, but when I ran it,
it gave the error message:
“Error during initialization: This software is for Windows XP Media Center
Edition only.
Exception Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”
The version of the Salloway utility I got was named "VersionSet.exe" and is
dated 7/22/2006.
Even Salloway's utility is unable to recognize my computer's Media Center.

Tom A.
