To evaluate Microsoft's new HTML editor (Expressions), I installed NET v. 2
(as required by the program). Now XP Media Center (2005) won't run -

Pazzo,

I'm just a user like yourself as far as MCE is concerned, but I've got a

You might want to post this in one of the MCE or .NET newsgroups...

Yeah, I uninstalled it, because the M'soft page said the two could not exist
simultaneously on the same machine (which is apparently untrue). So I

I'll try running the two together. Thanks for the info.

Don't!
The two can run quite happily together on the same machine. So applications
like XP Media Center can run along with HMTL Editor.
