Getting Started
Setting Up Windows Media Center
The first time you start Windows Media Center on your computer, a Windows Media
Center setup wizard opens. You should complete each step in the setup wizard to be able
to use all the features in Windows Media Center. The Windows Media Center setup
wizard may take several minutes to complete. If there are steps you still need to complete,
you can go to the Settings menu to do so. See “Completing the setup wizard steps.”
Opening Windows Media Center with a mouse
You can use either your remote control or your mouse to open and navigate Windows
Media Center.
To use your mouse:
1 Click the Windows Start Button on the taskbar, and then click Windows Media
Center .
2 Move your mouse over the Windows Media Center Start menu items, and click an
item to open it. Select an option by clicking it. To scroll the list of Start menu items,
move the mouse pointer over the list until an item is selected, then continue moving the
pointer down the list to see the items that are not displayed.
3 Move the mouse to display the Media Center menu bar, and then click the back
arrow at the top of the window to go to a previous window.
4 Click the Windows Media Center Start icon at the top of the Windows Media Center
window to return to the Windows Media Center Start menu.

bars allow you to access:
