    - Vista upgrade - OEM I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo P MCE 2005 PC, bought Dec 2005, which is used as the family PC (we also have a second) and also a Media Center PC. I'm quite happy upgrading software/hardware and supporting the family with using the PC. I were to upgrade to Vista, is there any reason (eg legal, technical, functional, support etc) why I shouldn't buy an OEM version of Vista Home premium upgrade rather than non-OEM when OEM is half the price?

    - Can't remove Mcafee virusscan-enterprise Running XP Home on a Dell Dimension 9150. I attempted to remove Mcafee 8.0 before upgrading to 8.5 and somehow my registry became corrupted and I cannot remove this program. Moreover McAfee is now disfunctional. On the McAfee web site they suggest a very convoluted procedure for removing this program which invloves some serious surgery on the registry. As an an alternative a colleague suggested that I run an OS upgrade to XP PRO and this might free up the registry. I have a slipstream CD for Pro but am loath to do this unless there is some chance that it will do the trick. Other than this problem my system seems to function fine. My question is: will this approach overcome the registry problem. If so, how shall I run the upgrade to PRO.....Many thanks -- CinciDave Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172940

    - screen resolution Hi Can someone please explain screen resolution to me? I understand when I'm using Photoshop the more pixels per inch the sharper an image will be. Does the same apply to screen resolution? If I increase it, will the text be sharper? Also, why do all the icons on my desktop get smaller with higher resolution?

    - Slow - jumpy TV capture on MCE Ultimate I'm trying to setup a MCE using VIsta Ultimate, and configuration runs well and I have the system running. The problem is that when I try to see live TV, I get a jumpy TV capture. I started out with the Pinnacle Vista MCE kit (110iV). As this kit only runs on MCE and I couldn't try it out of MCE, I went back to the store and got an AverMedia card. Installed... and I got the same jumpy capture. This time I tried running it's own software, and... no jumps!!! Is their specific configuration that must be performed for the MCE? Also, I tried to run a DVD on MCE and could not get Dolby surround (even though I have MCE configured for 5.1). When I view the same dvd on another player, I get Dolby Surround. Also, when I try to run a Divx video, even though I can run it on Media Player 11, MCE insists that it does not have the codecs.... But I can't find any sepcific configuration for MCE besides that available on the Settings menu. I did note that the tv capture grew more jumpy as codecs were installed for Media Player. Can anyone provide more insight into this? I am running an AMD Athlon 2.4Ghz, w/ 1 Gb RAM, plenty of disc and a RAdeon 350. Thanks Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172927

    - Red Screen instead of Video in Live/Recorded TV When I try to run Live TV or play an old Recording in my XP MCE 2005, it just shows a red screen while audio plays smoothly. The same recorded videos play properly in Windows Media Player. I think this happened after I installed an update which sounded something like KB089250 "Rollup for Update Rollup 2" on Nov 4. Once I got a weird error about ehshell.exe that I reported to Microsoft which suggested that it was due to Intel's Graphics Card. I did a system restore to an earlier date, but the problem persists. I have an Intel GMA 900 onboard graphics card on my 915GV motherboard. My TV Tuner is Hauppauge WinTV 88X. Now I am afraid of re-installing the updates. Help! Thanks... Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172925

    - Media Center 2005 Volume problem Hi, I have noticed that my TV recordings are now having trouble with consistant volume. i.e., normal sounds get quieter. I do not experience the same problem whild watching TV only when I record it. I have an Angel Luminate Tuner Card. I'm using the i/o jacks from my Digital Cable box. Has anybody else had this problem? It sounds like a 'limiter' or auto volume level 'compression' I turned down the volume on my digital cable box. Never had to do that before.

    - Does Vista Media Center Support Closed Captioning in Recorded TV? Does anyone know Media Center's recorded TV will still have closed captioning in it when you play it back? I guess Media Center supports closed captioning while watching live TV. That's great, but will the TV shows you record for time shifted viewing will still have closed captioning or not? If Media Center doesn't support closed captioning in recorded TV, does anyone know what the best option would be for having closed captioning in recorded television on the PC?

    - Hard Drive Problem ? Ok, I have a eMachine with MC. Last night the hard drive light came on and the screen stick along with the sounds. I had to push the button to shut it down and start it again....and again within a minute or 2 the HD light came on....stayed on and the screen stick. I ran all the virus checkers etc and found no problems. I did a install of XP last nite and ran the disk checker that found no problems. right now the HD light is on for like 2 seconds and I can hear the clicking like its searching for something, then it stops and starts again. This just keeps happening and I cant get it to stop........it does not matter if I'm typing or just watching it....it keeps doing it. I'm thinking that because I reinstalled XP/MC and ran all the checkers I have that its the hard drive itself that must be bad.......somehow !

    - Power options changes by itself I just build a new mce to replace my old. Installed MCE (xp) since I already own a license i did not consider to buy vista. I have configured and made my new box work excactly as the old/as I want it to, except one little thing. In power options/power schemes I change monitor to never, hard drives 10 min and sleep 30 min. I push apply and OK, and that setting is working quite well until mce have done a recording (powering up by itself, record) - then the power options is changed back to the original monitor 20 min, hard drive never, sleep never. If I change it back it will stay so until next recording. If I reboot the system it still holds my settings - but as soon as it turns on by itself to record it changes my settings. I googled the issue and found 1 guy beliving it to be the latest ATI catalyst, but I'm not sure about that - uninstalled latest catalyst/driver and only installed driver after reboot - problem still there. I have a ANTEC vith VFD (and vfd application) but don't belive that is causing it either. Can I hard code something in the register to keep my settings?

    - media center unable to play fixed! i found a solution which will probably help most of the people here as i think even though peoples probs are slightly different, they are the same, it comes from the 64 bit vista, there are actually 2 instals of all your midea players,and each vid file actually selects which version to use,this is what casuse the problem, as even though you think you have the codec you need it could be the 32 bit version, but your vid file may have opened the 64 bit player, and that codec location would probably be empty, there is a simple fix, just search google or yahoo for vista codec pack 4.5.2 (for the 32 bit version) and then search for vista codec x64 components 1.3.3 (if you have a 64 bit machine) these will fix just about any codec problem in vista (the creator is shark007,many thanks to him and go give him a donation!)

    - Problem with Windows Media Center in Vista - I'm hoping that someone in the group can assit. I have a new HP Pavilion laptop with Vista Home Premium, or at least I've had it for the past 6 weeks and have loved it, however WMC throws errors during repetitive tasks. This is frequent enough that it has rendered WMC unusuable. The specific error is: An unhandled exception ('.NullReferenceException.4313665F') occurred in ehrec.exe [3788]. My product version is: Windows Media Center Windows Vista Version 6.0.6000.16484 The only two pieces of software which I have installed recently are yahoo messenger and Microsoft Silverlight. I suspec that the latter may be the cause. Either that or WMC has just got itself in a twist. I have tried system restore to a point about a week ago with no success. My question is - how can I fix this without reinstalling Vista? MS in their wisdom seem to have made it impossible to uninstall and re- install WMC in Vista HP. Any assistance or guidance would be appreciated! Stewart Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172868

    - NEED HELP with Product Key on Windows XP Home I am working on a computer for a friend that is running Windows XP Home. It was eat up with a virus that infected almost everything on the computer so I decided to do a new installation. My friend did not have any discs and pressing F10 at boot, like I have had success with before would not work. I had a Windows 98 disc, and a Windows XP Home Upgrade disc, so I installed Windows 98 with a generic product key and then upgraded to Windows Xp Home with my product key. I then planned on changing the product key at the time of activation, but it wouldn't take the product key on the sticker on the PC case. Now it is activated with my number and I am worried that I will get in trouble for this. I never intended to pirate the software. I tried the Magic Jelly Bean Key Changer program but it still tells me the Product key is invalid. My friend has purchased a license when they bought the PC. I have not changed the motherboard or anything so I think Microsoft should give me a new Product Key that will work. I just don't know how to go about it. Please Help. Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172831

    - Create Failure with MCE while creating a DVD Hello..... In January I bought a new PC with Windows MCE. To be honest with you, creating a DVD of a show recorded with MCE is a crap shoot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have searched the 'net several times since then looking for various solutions till something works. Then things that work fine for a few weeks mysteriously stop working. Well despite my best efforts, I am stuck again. Can't get past Create Failure error anymore. The DVD create process gets up to 29% complete, gets stuck there for a while, then the Create Failure error occurs. I assume the 'memory allocation error' in the log is the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a bunch! FYI... I am at Update Rollup2, MCE 2005 5.1.2715.2883.

    - Create Failure with MCE while creating a DVD Hello..... In January I bought a new PC with Windows MCE. To be honest with you, creating a DVD of a show recorded with MCE is a crap shoot. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I have searched the 'net several times since then looking for various solutions till something works. Then things that work fine for a few weeks mysteriously stop working. Well despite my best efforts, I am stuck again. Can't get past Create Failure error anymore. The DVD create process gets up to 29% complete, gets stuck there for a while, then the Create Failure error occurs. I assume the 'memory allocation error' in the log is the problem. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks a bunch! FYI... I am at Update Rollup2, MCE 2005 5.1.2715.2883.

    - New computer My wifes computer that I built for her long ago finally died a violent death. I was not able to get to the relatively new WD hard drive that I had installed in it last year. I built her a new computer and I put her old hard drive in a NexStar portable hard drive enclosure. I would like to get into the "my documents" file and recover her documents, pictures and music. As I access the drive and go to "documents and settings", then "owner" there is a pop up window that diplays "access denied" I assume due to the password that she had on the account. Is there ANY way to bypass this and get into the file. She will lose many important documents and pictures. any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!

    - pointer arrow stuck on second display while using WMC I have my main monitor and I have my LCD tv near-by. I use an s-video cable to my tv. When I have Media Center dragged over to the tv and I maximize it, I can't get my pointer arrow back to my pc monitor to work on my pc while watching tv. Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172819

    - export recording list How do I go about exporting or backing up the list of shows I have scheduled to record? I've bounced between a few media centers the last month or so and am getting tired of having to recreate them manually. I've found the XML list of what shows are already recorded and saved, but can't find anything so far with the list of what is to be recorded in the future. Thanks for any info -- John Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172818

    - Using xbox as an extender, my picture is cut-off at the top and bo I was using my new Vista computer and my Xbox 360 as an extender on my old, standard screen TV. Worked perfectly! I got a new HD LCD TV, and now everything is slightly cut-off at the top and bottom. I have tried changing every aspect on my LCD and nothing has worked. Any thoughts? One of the reasons I want it back it normal, is that since the TV is a 42" HD, it makes the non-HD tv look really bad. Tag: No Live TV Tag: 172816

Recently purchased two HP systems with Vista Home Premium, and couldn't
receive a TV signal in Media Center on either. I replaced my spouse's tuner
card with a Hauppauge card and it works fine (Cox cable transmits an HRC
signal). On my system I have a ViXS PureTV-U 48B0 (NTSC/ATSC Combo) card
which has (as far as I can tell) no configurable software. Is there a way to
get this card to recognize the HRC signal? Thanks!
