Please log in for more thread options Then the only answer is buying and installing a copy of XP Pro or Home.
Even if you totally remove the MCE bits, Windows will still describe itself
as XP MCE 2005 and if any software is not certified for MCE, it probably
won't install since it will see that version of Windows.
I suppose you could try to reinstall MCE and not do the step that asks for
disc 2 (the MCE bits) and see if you get a functional copy of Pro, but no
guarantee that would work.
BTW, you should also disable all services that begin with "eh", those are
the Media Center services.
