Does anyone know a way to add Media Center to Windows Home Basic.I bought a Dell Vostro 220 deasktop with home basic installed.2 gigs of memory,250gigs hard drive,duel-core 2.66,w/19 in. flatpanel it seemed to good that I never even thouht about Media Center.Why would they even make a operating system without it?I've heard there is a way to enable aero glass on this system and know it to be true as at one time I had it working with Stardocks Dreamscapes.Unfortunatly it was a older version around 2.00.I only tryed the trial version and the newest one wont work.I have read a few tweaks will get it working againBut anyway Media Center,if anyone knows a way to add it(other than the obvious of spending a bunch of money on a upgrade for all of you people that would start off with that suggestion Mountainman
