Does windows media center require more memory if not running the media center itself?

WMC does not use if the program itself is not running. Obviously it will use memory for windows operating system itself. i wouldnt recommment you WMC because u can do most things with windows medi player and iTunes. If you want to watch tv, use a different software. it is more likely to take up memory while running WMC compared to other programs. if you're considering to buy wmc windows, dont becoz windows vista is coming out on the 30/1/07 which is far more better and easier to use...

Just about any native windows process will use virtual memory. \nTo get more you simply\n1. Right click My Computer\n2. Got to the Advanced Tab\n3. Under Performance click Settings\n4. Click the Advanced Tab\n5. Click the Change button at the bottom\n6. Select your primary hard disk, click the custom box and change it to you preference.\nI'm running a dual 3 Ghz Intel Xeon processor 2 gigs of RAM with 290 gigs of hard disk storage I have my initial size set to 1524 and maximum to 3048.\nNote: changing these values with use up hard disk space, it creates a file called pagefile.sys under C: the pagefile.sys file will take up however much hard disk space you indicate. Good Luck

any computer designed for "windows media center 2005" will be great. make sure you have a big harddrive. a faster processor is always better, and a lot of ram.\n\njust get a windows media center 2005 computer with big numbers for the cpu ram, and harddrive. you will be fine.

You might need more RAM

Sounds like you have too many things running at the one time on your PC. Try using Media P. on it's own.

need more memory? have a virus?  either could cause this to accrue.

Right click My Computer, Properties, Advanced, Performance Options, and it should be around there.  It might be different for different versions of Windows.  If you're running into your virtual memory all the time, though, you might want to think about upgrading the amount of physical memory in your computer.

every program does. Especially when the program takes up a large percentage of your memory. Add more ram.\n\nOr clean up your startup using msconfig.

I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Service Pack 2

I don't think XP pro has anything that Media Center does not.  I installed Media Center recently and the install refers to XP pro in a number of places. \n\nI believe Microsoft built Media Center from XP pro by just added features.

I find it is more demanding on the system and runs a lot more processes in the background. So yes it is very possibly that it might be slow on an older system.\n\nI always found that Windows Media Player 9 was the best way to go. Its a little hard but you can remove the new version and go back to using an older one.\n\nHope this helps.

Unless the operating system is DOS, it's probably using up those 15GB.  I just bought a new computer with Windows and some programs already installed and all that takes up 15.5GB.

That depends.  If it isn't filled to capacity, you can certainly add data to it.  If you mean can you erase the data on it and then write it again, no, you can't do that only media with a +RW or -RW can be erased and rewritten.
