Media Center tuners must have a standardized driver interface, and they must have hardware MPEG-2 encoders, closed caption support, and a number of other features. Media Center remote controls are standardized in terms of button labels and functionality, and, to a degree, general layout.
In June , the Media Center Components Database was set up as a resource for Media Center self builders to pool knowledge of which components play well with each other.

All Professional features have been left in, including Remote Desktop and the Encrypting File System , however the ability to join an Active Directory domain has been removed as it is marketed as a home product with no need for domain support. One value in the registry is all that is needed to circumvent this restriction; [29] if the installation of MCE is an in-place upgrade from a previous version already joined to a domain, this ability is retained, unless a user uses a Windows Media Center Extender: in this case, such ability is lost and cannot be restored.
Presumably, Microsoft introduced this limit because Media Center Extender devices, introduced in this version, rely on the Fast User Switching component, but this component must be disabled in order to join a domain. Media Center has higher hardware requirements than other editions of Windows XP. MCE requires at least a 1. Media Center is much more restricted in the range of hardware that it supports than most other software DVR solutions. Media Center tuners must have a standardized driver interface, and they originally required a hardware MPEG-2 encoder, closed caption support, and a number of other features.
Media Center remote controls are standardized in terms of button labels and functionality, and, to a degree, general layout. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is compatible with a pen-sensitive screen, supporting handwritten notes and portrait-oriented screens. Requirements to install Tablet PC Edition include a tablet digitizer or touchscreen device, and hardware control buttons including a Ctrl-Alt-Delete shortcut button, scrolling buttons, and at least one user-configurable application button.
This version brought improved handwriting recognition and improved the Input Panel, allowing it to be used in almost every application.
The Input Panel was also revised to extend speech recognition services input and correction to other applications. In addition, it includes some of the following components:. The following downloadable packs released by Microsoft add more functionality:. This is a data type created as part of the Windows XP Tablet PC Edition API that allows users to manipulate and process handwritten data, including recognition results and, in some cases, the pressure information for each part of the stroke.
Properties of Ink can be changed in much the same way as properties of other objects, and the data can be saved to allow future reference. Many applications referencing the Ink object also allow handwritten notes to be filtered and searched through, based on the recognition results stored when Ink is saved.
Integrated with the operating system is a Tablet PC Input Panel TIP which allows handwriting to be converted into text for use in most non-full-screen applications. Accuracy can be increased by configuring the recognizer to expect left-handed writing or right-handed writing. Recognition in a variety of languages is available with the install of a recognizer pack. The handwriting engine cannot be trained to recognize a particular handwriting style, so the user must modify their handwriting to be better recognized by the system in order to use this feature effectively.
Speech recognition functionality is also incorporated into the Tablet Input Panel. Compared to previous versions, a substantially improved speech recognition engine version 6 which also ships with Office and a tutorial, microphone wizard and training modules are included.
It is possible to dictate text using speech in certain supported applications and control the Windows GUI and applications using speech, although the accuracy improvements further made in Windows Vista surpass these features. In , Microsoft made available two additional editions of Windows XP Home Edition for hardware manufacturers that wanted to provide subscription-based or pay as you go-based [ clarification needed Link to correct article ] models for selling computers. These editions, named Windows XP Home Edition for Subscription Computers, and Windows XP Home Edition for Prepaid Computers respectively, are part of the " Microsoft FlexGo " initiative, described in a company-issued press release as, "[making] PCs more accessible by dramatically reducing the entry cost and enabling customers to pay for their computer as they use it, through the purchase of prepaid cards.
Market trials are starting first in emerging markets where inadequate access to consumer credit, unpredictable income and high entry costs prevent many consumers from purchasing a computer. Both editions contain additional components that enforce the subscription models via metering. The installation of Windows operates in "normal mode", "Limited Access Mode", or "Hardware Locked Mode" depending on the state of the subscription.
When a computer has a positive time balance, it operates in "normal mode" and functions as a regular Windows XP Home Edition machine. When the time balance expires, the machine will then operate in "Limited Access Mode" for an amount of time set by the hardware manufacturer five hours by default before entering "Hardware Locked Mode". In Limited Access Mode, the screen uses high-contrast and low-resolution display settings, and in Hardware Locked Mode, the operating system is disabled entirely, and a message is displayed on boot-up with instructions on how to re-enable the machine.
Two distinct editions of Windows XP were released to support bit hardware. This edition was discontinued in January , after Hewlett-Packard , the last distributor of Itanium-based workstations, stopped selling Itanium systems marketed as 'workstations'.
Windows XP Bit Edition was not marketed as the Itanium version of Microsoft's other Windows XP editions, but, instead, as a separate edition made solely for the Itanium processor and its bit instructions. Similar to the ability of previous alternate architecture ports of Windows Windows NT 4.
While the original Itanium processor contains an on-chip IA decoder, it was deemed far too slow for serious use running at about MHz , so Microsoft and Intel wrote a software 32 to bit translator dubbed the IA Execution Layer.
It allows real time translation of x86 bit instructions into IA instructions, allowing bit applications to run albeit significantly more slowly than native code. This edition supports the x extension of the Intel IA architecture. It was released on April 25, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition uses version 5.
Even service packs and updates for Windows XP x64 and Windows Server x64 are distributed in unified packages, [40] much in the manner as Windows Professional and Server editions for x Since the x architecture includes hardware-level support for bit instructions, WOW64 switches the processor between and bit modes. According to Microsoft, bit software running under WOW64 has a similar performance when executing under bit Windows, but with fewer threads possible and other overheads.
Although bit applications can be run transparently, the mixing of the two types of code within the same process is not allowed. Not Helpful 18 Helpful 8. Not unless you purchase it from them. You can, however, download a little tool called KMSPico that will search for a product key that matches your Windows version specifically, and activate it without the need for you to own a product key. Or you can Google how to find the product key in your installation disc.

Here's how to do it: Go to Start, then to Control Panel. Be sure that the Control Panel is in classic view. Go to Automatic Updates and double click on it.
You are done! One more thing: It must be annoying to have alerts every 2 minutes that Automatic Updates is turned off. So to remove the annoying alerts, you have to double click the small "red" icon where the clock is situated in the extreme bottom right.
The Security Center will appear and in the left there will be some options. Be sure to select the "Change the way Security Center alerts me" option and uncheck the "Automatic Updates" option.
