    Sup,
    My i6000D came with the disk to reinstall Media Center 2005. Can i use this disk to install Media Center on my Dimmension 4500 or will it cause problems?

    thanks

    The disk might be setup for only being allowed to install on the device it came with, such as it checks the system info to see if it matches, I dunno it's worth a try as long as you have a legitimate cd key for it to be used on your 4500

    I don't know if this is still true but when you have a Microsoft licenese (CD key) you can use that on more than one computer as long as you own all the computers you install it on. I remember the limit was like 10 computers last time I checked (years ago), but I don't know if that has changed.
