Will the windows xp media center add ons work after reformatting?

I will love to help you on this. First of all you must understand the difference between the formatting, installing new window and the restoring. In the formatting you only format the files and folders from the hard drive you don’t format the system files in that case your XP media center add ons will definitely work. But if you will perform the formatting as well as the reinstalling of the window completely than in this case none of your previous software will work weather it is a XP media center add ons or any other software. Now what you can do so that you can solve your problem in the computer without the reformatting and the reinstalling of the window. So for that you can restore your computer on a certain point or in the factory mode. In that mode all the software that comes with the computer will work and your problem will also remove completely.
