Roxio Kio
Roxio Kio - A Media Center Experience on your XP machine
Windows Media Center was such a great idea that we built a few plug-ins for it, but those plug-ins couldn’t run on Windows XP. Now they can. With Roxio Kio, you can use Media Center plug-ins on Windows XP. Just install Kio and your plug-ins can be launched and used just as if you were in Windows Media Center.
System Requirements
Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center
