Just curious...
I just had a quick question which I was wondering about. On Vista MC, if I
record the same program on two different days or something, the thumbnail
clip in Recorded TV is always the same for both recordings. How does it do
this...? (lol) Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183498

Vista MP3 Tags Problem
Hello. I am having problems/need more education on dealing with mp3
tags. Recently I have begun ripping my cds to a large hard drive. A
lot of those include cds that I made from mp3s I had downloaded or
bought or whatever. So the cd had 16 songs by 16 different artists.
I am having an issue with these cds and WMP. It seems that whatever
I try to do, WMP still connects the songs on a specific cd together
even though I want them displayed as separate artists. For instance,
I'll rip a cd and break the actual files up into different folders on
my hard drive based on the artist. At this stage I am able to change
the artist, album name, etc. Then I'll jump into WMP and get the song.
In WMP I am also able to edit various tags of the song.
At this point because I want the album photo to display I will
right click and find album info. Then I find the correct artist/album
and I think that song is good to go. The problem is that every song
that was ripped on that cd is now tagged with the specific song I just
edited. So if I update a song from the rip as a Pearl Jam song and tag
it appropriately, then every song that ripped now becomes a Pearl Jam
song even if it is Faith Hill or Pantera. If I go to the Pantera song
per se and update that tag as Pantera, then every song on that rip now
becomes a Pantera song.
Anyhow, perhaps I need a little education on how mp3 tags work. I
have found freeware programs that supposedly allow my to edit and
remove mp3 tags but I am not sure how this plays into WMP reading the
edited file.
Any advice you could throw my way would be greatly appreciated. Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183495

Windows Media Player - "Sample Pictures" folder only
When attempting to display a slide show of pictures in a certain folder on my
Vista Ultimate machine, I attempt to search for the folder in which these
pictures are kept. This folder is NOT the "Sample Pictures" folder; I do NOT
USE the "Sample Pictures" folder. Nonetheless, Windows Media Player ONLY
displays the "Sample Pictures" folder when I attempt to search through my

SDR-S7 Video Camera: aspect ratio problem
I have just bought this video camera with the sole purpose being to
record a very important function I'm attending and post clips of it on
Youtube to share with friends. I am pretty hopeless with technology and
I need a bit of help! I just did a couple of recordings...tried 16.9 and
4.3 aspect ratio but both are squashed in Windows Media Player and on
Youtube as well when I tried uploading them... Does anyone know how I
can record a video and have it appear on Youtube or WMP in the right
ratio so that its not all squashed sideways? Hope someone can help!

MCE 2004 Guide data not updating
Thanks for taking a look. Here's what I know. The EPG was updating fine
until till about three weeks ago. The guide will no longer
automatically update when I log into windows even though I have it set
up to do so. When I manually update, the system tray icon shows that
the guide has been updated successfully but when I actually use the
guide in MY TV there's nothing but "No Data Available" displayed. Ther
are no error codes displayed. The only thing I have noticed is under the
About Guide Data in Settings, at the bottom under Language, it displays
a start and end date which seems to coincide with when the problem
started. The start date is only like two weeks earlier though. I have
been running MCE 2004 for years with no incidents. Very peculiar
because it's showing that the guide has been downloaded but not
displaying the contents. Any info or a nudge in the right direction
would be great. Thanks again

Windows Media Center Receiver Service error 0x80070002 file not fo
Here's what i get when i try to start the Windows Media Center service over
the Control Panel -> Administration tools -> Services .
I tried to follow this little guide to solve my tv tuner compatibility
issues with Vista MC, posted by nyoung on 2/25/2007 in
microsoft.public.windows.vista.general ;
let me take a quote from it:
>Here's what I found after struggling with the "No TV tuner installed" message
>while setting up TV in Vista Home Premium Media Center:
> 1. Go to Computer Management...Services and Applications...Services
> 2. Find Windows Media Center Receiver Service (this is what keeps failing)
> 3. Look at the "Log On" setting (mine said Network Service)
> 4. Right-click this service, select Properties, select Log On tab.
> 5. Look at the "This account:" section (should list what login account is
>running the service).
> 6. Change the username to the Administrator account setup within Vista
> (usually your username) and enter the password for this account --Select
< Browse...type the username...select "Check Names"...click OK.
> 7. Re-type the password for this account int the Password & Confirm
> password fields (don't accept the password it auto-fills with).
> 8. Click Apply...OK.
> 9. Left-click the Windows Media Center Receiver Service (if not already
> selected) and select the "Restart" button on the Toolbar (last icon with
> green arrow).
Then it give to me this 0x80070002 error, saying "Impossible to find the
file" ;
the service in fact it's stopped, that's why i think it's the reason Vista
Mediacenter says "cannot find tv tuner hardware".
any help will be good, thanx! Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183480

No "Play DVD" or "DVD Library" option
I changed the ShowGallery registry key in

point, the DVD Library option disappeared and I'm not sure what I did to
remove it from the TV + Movies section. I am using Vista Home Premium and I
have upgraded to SP1, although I'm fairly certain that the DVD Library option
didn't disappear with the SP1 upgrade. Does anyone know how to get that

XP Media Center Tuner not available
I have XP media Center on a Dell Dimension E510. It is mostly used
during the warmer weather months, so hasn't been used recently. It
was working fine, but now I get "tuner not available, the tuner is
currently in use by another application or is not working, please
close all other applications, restart media center and start again".
The computer has been updated and has SP-3, don't know if that has
been a problem. I also changed from Time Warner standard cable to
Time Warner digital cable (think I tried it after the switch and I
believe it was fine at that point). The tuners I believe are Angel II
MPEG device. I checked signal through the cable with an old TV I had
available and the signal is fine. Re-ran setup did not help.
Any suggestions would be helpful

CD/DVD data burning in XP Media Center
Our XP Media Center PC (SP2) only burns data CDs or DVDs through the Media
Center software.
We have some documents we would like to back up, but the Media Center
software only works with pictures, music or videos.
We can open My Documents, but cannot right-click and Send To the burner...it
is not an option on the Send to menu. We successfully burned both a data CD
and Data DVD through the Media Center software, so the drive is functional.
We swapped the burner to see if the drive was defective, and still had no
Send To options or drag and drop onto the CD Drive, we get an Invalid
Operation.
Does Media Center restrict how we burn? The included software is nice, but
it was a lot easier hand picking everything (pics, vids, music and
documents) to burn with a drap and drop or Send To.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Validation required after driver upgrade?
I recently put together a brand new pc with a brand new copy of MC 2005. It
was loaded only once and on this new pc. Recently I updated my drivers for
the 790i chipset with the latest nVidia driver and updated my SB X-Fi Gamer
audio card drivers as well.
All went well and I logged off for the night. Next day I log back in and I
receive notification that major hardware changes had occurred and I needed to
revalidate my OS copy. So I went to revalidate it and was then told I had
exceeded my allowed instances to load the OS. After going through the lengthy
phone call and saying that there were hardware upgrades done when in fact
nothing with the OS or hardware had been changed, I was able to continue as
normal. I also observed that all my restoration points had been wiped so
there was no way to rollback the pc. Is this another feature with MC 2005?
Is this to be expected after I upgrade drivers, to be forced to revalidate
each time?
OS's used to allow three installations before requiring the phonecall with
MS. Did this change?
Please keep in mind the OS was already registered with MS as are all my pc
OS's.
Any insight to what is going on would be helpful.

Media Computer - Basic, Basic Questions
I'm hoping someone can point me to an FAQ or other site which covers the
very basic questions below, but here goes.
I have a large CD collection, which I now play manually using an old Sony CD
player , an old Sony amplifier, and a set of hard wired speakers. I also
have my TV wired into the amplifier so I can use the sound system to play
audio from my TV and DVD player. I can digitize my CD collection without any
difficulty/.
Now here's what I'd like (having seen this at friends' houses).
1. The ability to organize the digitized collection on a hard drive
2. The ability to use my TV screen to display and select the various CD's
and tracks
3, A connection linking the media computer to the amplifier. What
terminals are needed on the computer, the TV or the amplifier?
4. A remote, with the ability to select, and control the computer holding
the collection. Does this come with the computer?
I assume a new "media" computer with Vista Home Premium will take care of 1.
and 2. Is this correct?
I see computes being advertised as Media computers with prices anywhere from
$400 to $2,000. Other than having a large hard drive and a DVD drive, is
there anything else required or recommended (cards, RAM size, speed,
processor)?

Error 13 & tuner failures
After almost 3 years of MCE, I've finally been hit by Error 13 when
downloading the guide, combined with tuner failures when waking from standby

Thanks to Aaron Stebner, I've renamed the EPG and ehome folders, run the MCE
repair and reset applications, reinstalled my tuner drivers and re-registered
both the guide dll and the time sync app. I still seem to be having problems.
The only other thing I can think of is that I've just moved over to Avast

Show recordable but a commercial triggers stoppage.
Could someone tell the broadcasters to be more careful when they run a
commercial such as the recent 'Get Smart Movie', that triggers a show
without the do not copy flag set to stop recording because the commercial
apparently inadvertently has a do not copy flag.
Do they really not want me to record the commercial for the movie. I get 40
minutes into my recorded movie when the commercial comes on, and before the
commercial even ends the TV show stops recording.
They are giving DRM a bad name and the programs, such as Windows Vista Media
Center and the company Microsoft a bad rap because Microsoft is faithfully
following the DRM guidelines.
I know, I know, Media Center will blindly "honor the copy restrictions set
by the broadcaster and/or content provider. There's nothing to be done about
it."
But I will be doing something about it. If these mistakes happen too often,
I won't be bothering with getting a Media Center Extender and buying furture
versions of Media Center, and I will look for alternates.
I will add however that these mistakes have been infrequent and a more
recent TV recording with that DRM infected commercial did not have the do
not copy flag embedded in it. Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183429

Problems with ATI Theater Pro 550 Tuner in Vista Ultimate x64
Has anyone experienced any problems lately running an ATI Theater Pro 550
tuner with Vista Ultimate x64? Mine had been running fine for over a year
and one day last week it stopped working. I tried upgrading to the latest
ATI drivers and SP1 but no go after that either. I noticed that it stopped
working around the time an automatic update was applied and I tried rolling
that back with no luck. I reinstalled the OS and it recognized the board and
installed the drivers, but I could not get Media Center to recognize the
tuner.
Iâ??ve since installed an VisionTek HD 650 in the pc with SP1 and it is
working fine, but the Powercolor board does not show up in Device Manager. I
donâ??t think there is anything physically wrong with the old tuner card, but
do not have another pc with PCI-e slots to test it out. Since Iâ??ve purchased
the new tuner, Iâ??d like to get the old one working and have two tuners
working.
Side note: I also have an HDHomeRun unit, which has worked flawlessly from
day one. While working on the above issue, the HDHR power supply went bad â??
great timing. I contacted their customer support and they shipped a new one
out that day. Not bad customer service.

Low Sound Volume on HP Pavillion a1250n model !
I don't know if it's the computer or the XP. It was purchased this way

I've also messed around with the wires and plugs in the back of the

end. We tried a few things, reboot the modem, uninstall and reinstall both
network cards and it worked for a few minutes and then nothing.
The only way I can get a connection to check my email or brouse is to go
into the Control Panel, then into Network Connections, highlight my LAN
connection icon and click "repair this connection". It goes through the
repair and I have a connection for about 2 minutes.
I also tried a system recovery back to a known date...a date when I new my
PC was OK....no change. I tried downloading an updated driver for the LAN
card...still no change.
I bought some support from HP (my PC manufacturer) and after much time and
attempted fixes, he told me I would have to do a full system recovery. I hate
like hell to have to back everything up and wipe the slate clean and start
over.
Any help would be appreciated.

Record Comcast HD Channels in Media Center
I have Comcast Cable and an HD TV Tuner. If I have the cable in to my video
card, can I get/watch/record the HD channels (channel 100+) through the Media
Center and have the updated channel guides?
Or is the only way I can get all of these channels to use the Comcast Set
Top Box?
For instance all digital MOJO is Channel 664. Can this ONLY be watched by
using the Comcast Set Top Box or if I have comcast digital cable service and
hook that line up to my HD computer card can I then watch/record these shows
anywhere I have media center and extenders?

WINDOWS XP KEEPS RESTARTING ON BOOT UP
Hi All, running XP SP2 for awhile on this box, but recently the PC started a
process of never completing a boot up. It runs through boot to the Welcome
screen and just as the main screen loads before the icons appear, the PC
reboots. I can hear the drive spin down just before that. Recently replaced
the Power supply with a new one. Have isolated all devices and checked the PS
during bootup and the voltages remain up on the 5 and 12V rails
Any ideas? Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183336

History grows by thousands of entrys in only a few days.
My history in Media Center often grows to over 5,000 entries (I then delete
the history). I have recordings spread over 3, 4 or 5 hard drives, depending
on if I feel like plugging in more external hard drives. But even when I
only have my 2 internal hard drives and one external hard drive of 1TB in
size, I can get a couple of thousand entries in less than a weeks time.
I suspect that Media Center sees the external hard drive come online and
decides these are recordings that it should add to the history list. I never
shut off the external hard drive, and always leave it plugged into the USB
port. I hibernate the computer often (sleeping has never worked, with any
o/s, on this 4 year old computer).
When 2TB sized hard drives come out, perhaps next year, I will be able to
replace my 2 internal hard drives and forget about the external hard drive.
Then I suspect this history anomaly will not occur. Or I might buy a new
computer that supports more than 2 sata drives, and also supports eSata,
which my 1TB external drive does support. Tag: CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MICROSOFT Tag: 183332
