-certain dependencies are required to run the software, including the Microsoft DVD player, which must be downloaded and installed separately.
Additional setup requirements include configuring the software to work with a TV in the vicinity of the computer and the installation of a TV tuner which works with the Media Center software.
The software should be run as an administrator for some settings.
Windows Media Center can also be used as a Media Center Extender and as a pictures and video library.
