I bought a laptop last Christmas and it had various pre-installed
stuff that I did not want and uninstalled them. A few weeks later and
I have been trying use the windows media center remote to watch tv on
my Toshiba Qosimio G40.

So far I have'nt found it and I think I may of unintentionally
uninstalled it. I have been to Microsoft web page and have been
looking to try and download the package or drivers for Windows Media
Center. Unfortunately I have not found it on their web site. I could
just reinstalled the recovery disc that I came with the laptop but
that would be inconvienient as I have a load of sofware and files I
would have to reinstall ect after the recovery.

Does any one know how I can get Windows Media Center back on my laptop
without having to use the recovery cd? Is there somewhere where I can
download the package again?
Regards Sean.
 
WMC is located at
\Windows\ehome\ehshell.exe

You shouldn't have been able to uninstall it.

BTW, Vista Home Basic and Business do not include it.
 
Thank you for your assistance.

Yes I found it. But when I click on it I get a message; (Windows
cannot open this program because it has been prevented by a software
restriction policy. For more details contact your system
administrator). I have switch off user account control. So I don't
know how next to proceed? I am running vista home premium. I have the
remote with it also. It has batteries and a led that comes on when you
press a button.
