    Hey guys.

    So originally, when I reformatted my HD and upgraded to 64-bit, I was unaware that for the Dell Media Center button to work there had to be a partition. So I deleted the partition and now the media button has no functionality.

    Now I don't want the Dell Media Center to be installed again... but I would like to get the functionality back in the button. Is there a way to do this without partitioning part of my HD (I'm planning on reformatting my HD again soon)? Or if not, I wouldn't mind having the media center button start up Windows Media Center... How would I go about that?

    Thanks
