Media Player Box for my TV

SirPeale:
XLobby doesn't want to seem to run, though it should.  Likely a strip-down and reinstall of Windows will do the trick. 

Media Portal only runs on XP and above.

Found a few hard drives yesterday, going to try an XP install to see how it fares.

ChadTower:

Give a thought to using TinyXP, maybe... not sure how stripped down it really is, but if all you need is a player and XP itself, that may work with an older box short on resources.

Linux is probably much better for this purpose, though, if you can find a nice simple gui client player.

SirPeale:
98 is running really well.  But XP will give me a snazzy FE.  *shrug* it'll all be up to experimentation.

ChadTower:

Good progress... if you have two drives, install 98 on one and XP on the other, so that you can swap them back and forth without doing a time consuming reinstall if you decide to go back.

SirPeale:
I just wish XPs footprint wasn't so big.  Most of the drives I've got are sub 1GHz.
