New Downloads for Media Center - Week Ending - 11/05
This is the Tweak MCE Power Tool for those that have loaded the Rollup 2 Patch.
Tweak MCE PowerToy — Tweak MCE gives you access to systems settings and options not normally exposed in the Windows XP Media Center Edition user interface, including remote control settings, Skip and Replay time customizations, user interface options, and more. It also helps you to optimize Media Center Extender for plasma and non-CRT displays.
I had some problems with mine as I had the old version loaded already BEFORE I installed the Rollup 2 Patch. I could not get the new one loaded till I removed the old one.
When trying to remove the old version, I received a message asking me to provide the path to the original TweakMCE.msi file from which I loaded the PowerToy. Well that file had long since been deleted so I grabbed the old version again (here), dropped it on the desktop of my MCE box, did a right-click on TweakMCE.msi, selected repair, let it finish. I then went back to Add/Remove and I was able to successfully remove the old version and subsequently install the new version.
I have not yet had a chance to play with all the settings so look for a write up later on the new version.
Cheers!
