Vista - MCE Vista B2 & New Win PVR 2000

Hello, I have been runing Win Vista B2 5384 since we could download it. I
just got a Win PVR 2000 by Leadtek and I know this card works with MCS 2005.
I installed it into my computer, Vista downloaded new drivers and it seems to
have installed them fine.

My question is, how do I get the Media Center to activate? Do I have
re-install Vista again telling it set it up as a MCE PC?

Start -> All Programs -> Media Center. Set up from there.

Vista Ultimate already has Media Center built-in.

Thanks Jane for the reply, but that option is not listed in my Start -> All
Programs -> menu, and I am runing Vista Ultimate....any suggestions?

Do you know what the setup .exe file name is for me to search for?
