    - Vista Media Center: "Tuner Unavailable" while Trying to Set Up New Satellite Box I am running an HP Pavilion m9077c with a ViXS PureTV-U 48B0 tuner (NTSC/ATSC) under Vista Home Premium. I just had my DirecTV service upgraded from standard to HD and now cannot reconfigure Media Center for the new box. Once I got the new satellite box installed, I reran the TV setup wizard, which worked fine until I needed to input the code for my satellite remote, when I ran up against the "you can't make more than 31 tries to get the right code" feature. Since then, every time I rerun the wizard, it runs for about 30 seconds then gives a "tuner unavailable" error when the it tries to get the necessary information for the Program Guide. I have tried everything I could think of--restarting the computer, resetting my Internet connections, power-cycling the satellite box, etc. I also followed every step HP recommended for "can't find tuner" on its help site, without success (I could neither install updated drivers for the tuner nor use System Restore). I've had no problems watching TV on Media Center until now. Any ideas as to what could be wrong? Is this related to the remote-code-tries limit? Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180881

    - Wrong programing I'm at a loss as what to do about my TV programing. My McAfee had a gliche the other day and I had to uninstall it and then install it. About that time my media center programing started showing the program guide and hour ahead. I went into my control panel and made sure the clock and daylight savings time was right. I tried downloading the cable guide again in the media center. It is still wrong and won't record the right shows now. Does anyone have any other suggestions???? -- -- CDH Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180878

    - Vista x64 SP1, VMC stuttering with 4GB RAM I installed a "DNTV Dual Hybrid PCIe S2" digital TV tuner the other day on my Vista x64 machine. Hardware is E6600 on Gigabyte 965p-dq6, XFX 7900Gt extreme and 4x1GB RAM. I had issues with the TV stuttering in VMC. A reboot of the computer would always fix it. I contact the support people (for the tuner) and am told to remove some of my RAM and see how it goes. So I pull out 2GB of RAM (leaving 2GB) and try again. It fixed the problem. What is going on here? Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180871

    - Media Center wont launch using the remote control... Please Help Hey guys, I have an HP Pavilion DV9417ca Laptop with Vista Premium SP1. The problem I'm having is the remote control will not launch Media Center with the green button (the one that came with my laptop and is stored in a slot at the side of the laptop). The remote does work for everything else, QuickPlay, etc and will work with all the commands once Media Center is running. I installed MCE Customizer and was playing with some of the settings and this has caused the problem (it work before this time). I uninstalled MCE Customizer, however, Media Center still won't launch from the remote control. Thank you for any help. Cheers Paul btw, I also posted this at the Green Button forum but still no go... they are very helpful though. -- HP Pavilion DV9417ca Entertainment Laptop AMD Turion 64 x 2 core 1.8GHz 160GB/2GB/NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 17"Wscreen/Wifi/BT/Built-in cam/RC Vista Premium x32-bit SP1 iPAQ 2490 WM5 Tag: Media Center overrides sound card!

    - Xbox360 & Media Center Hello all, I have an HP Pavilion laptop with Media Center and an Xbox360. Previously, I was able to readily, easily, swiftly connect the two machines via Media Center. Now, after a recent repair that required a hard drive reformat and a hard reset of my wireless router, my PC cannot "find" the "extender" on my network...even though I can see it when I pull up the full network map. Xbox360/Microsoft's call center has been useless. I turn to you and your expertise. Please, if you can, help. The Xbox360 is connected via ethernet, the PC is wirelessly connected. Both machines are visible on the network. Resets do not help. My wife's PC which I did NOT set up suddenly appeared on the 360 as the machine from which to connect/stream. Don't know what else to say, just need some advice. Thank you. Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180857

    - EDITING/Create An Association In The Folders Options Control Panel First of all, would like to extend my 'thanks' to all those whom have assisted me in the past with 'minor' problems that, are 'major' to those like myself whom are currently learning on our own, the vast functionalities of home PC! Though frustrating at times, the fun in learning from others, is the reward. Thank You, All! Currently I am having problems EDITING anything in MY PICTURES/DOCUMENTS folders. When I point and right click, EDIT, a window appears with a 'small Red Ball enclosing a White 'X' on left/center side, with.."This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folders Options control panel." This is new to me as I've just recently began hobby with Photos, though this same warning that pops up when attempting to EDIT documents, such as a Resume. Would appreciate any help. Thank you all, again. -- Beto Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180845

    - ATI Driver Issue Solved I have seen in various places people having problems with ATI Catalyst driver installations which resulted in MOM.... and CLI... errors when the computer started up.

    - CANNOT VIEW PICTURES IN MEDIA CENTER MEDIA CENTER WILL NOT DISPLAY PICTURES FROM DVD OR FROM HARD DISK ANYMORE . I KNOW THAT THE DVD IS READABLE WITH MEDIA CENTER , TRIED IT ON A LAPTOP W/VISTA HOME PREMIUM. I AM RUNNING VISTA ULTIMATE. I CAN VIEW PICTURES THROUGH PHOTO GALLERY AND THEY ARE IN JPEG FORMAT. I RESET MY PICTURE LIBRARY AND STILL NO GOOD. IF I VIEW FOLDERS IN PICTURE LIBRARY THEY ARE EMPTY. IF I VIEW BY TAGS OR DATE TAKEN IT SHOWS ITEMS ARE THERE BUT IT WILL NOT DISPLAY PICTURE EVEN SAMPLE PICTURES THAT CAME WITH THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. I HAD BOUGHT NERO 7 QUITE SOME TIME AGO AND TRIED TO INSTALL IT ON MY COMPUTER NOT KNOWING THAT IT WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH VISTA. THEN I BOUGHT NERO 8 , BUT COULD NOT INSTALL IT UNTIL I HAD 7 PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED. NOW I UNINSTALLED 8 AND STILL CANT VIEW PICTURES. I'M NOT SURE IF NERO IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH IT. TRIED TO RESTORE PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF MEDIA CENTER BUT THERE ARE NONE ON MY COMPUTER. ALSO RECENTLY HAD PROBLEM WITH A WINDOWS UPDATE THAT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE RELEASED, SO I WAS TOLD BY MY IT GUY WHO HAD TO FIX IT BECAUSE IT GOT STUCK IN A LOOP WHEN I TURNED IT ON. I ALSO HAD HIM INSTALL ANOTHER HARD DRIVE WHILE HE WAS DEBUGGING EVERYTHING . SO MY PICTURE FILES WERE TRANSFERRED FROM MY "C" DRIVE TO MY "F" DRIVE. IS TIS MAYBE THE PROBLEM? ALSO MY PICTURES WERE ALL RATED THROUGH PHOTO GALLERY BEFORE I HAD IT FIXED. AND NOW SOME OF THEM DON'T HAVE RATINGS ANYMORE Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180827

    - Cannot start Media Center Extender Service - Please Help! I just recently upgraded my desktop from Windows XP Media Center Edition to Vista Ultimate. Before the upgrade, I was able to access the media center via the Media Center function on my XBox 360 (both the desktop and the 360 are physically wired to my network). Since the upgrade, however, I have not been able to set up my 360 in vista ultimate as an extender. When I try to set up, I get a generic error message. I have gone into the event viewer and notice that the error was caused by the 'Windows Media Center Extender Service' not running. I've gone into the services area, and tried to start the Windows Media Center Extender Service, but keep getting an error message saying that it cannot start. I double clicked on this service and viewed the dependent services. One of the services, PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator is NOT running. When I go to try to start this service, the system tells me that it started and then immediately stopped. Any suggestions on why the desktop would keep stopping the PnP-X IP Bus Enumerator service? I'm assuming that this is my problem, but nothing seems to work. (I've verified that all of the dependent services for this service are running). Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

    - WMC disappeared... I use my computer on a daily basis for gaming and movies. I sat down today and pulled the dvd I was watching yesterday out and put another one in, but autoplay didn't work. So I searched for Windows Media Center, no results. I check autoplay settings and where WMC used to be for DVD's is now a blank program icon with no words next to it. I tried recovering with the disk but it was caught up on compatibility check. Is there anywhere I can go to to just get WMC back without having to run recovery?

    - Tuner Not Available After Recording Simultaneous HDTV/Analog Progr If Windows Media Center finishes recording an HDTV program while simultaneously recording an Analog program, the Analog recording fails. Media Center is then no longer able to display Live TV or record subsequent programs using either HDTV or Analog signals. It requires a PC reboot to restore functionality in Media Center. This problem does NOT occur if Media Center finishes recording an Analog program while simultaneously recording an HDTV program. The result is that any time Media Center is scheduled to record an HDTV program that ends before a simultaneously recorded Analog programs ends, all subsequent programs fail to record. This problem occurs when either manually recording programs or if Media Center is automatically recording scheduled programs. I am using a VisionTek/ATI TV Wonder 650 Combo USB tuner with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. Steps to reproduce: 1. In Windows Media Center, start recording an HDTV program. 2. Start recording an Analog program. 3. Stop recording the HDTV program. 4. Stop playing the HDTV channel. 4. Windows Media Center displays the error "Recording Failed To Start: Windows Media Center has encountered an error and is unable to record <name of Analog program>. Please restart the computer and then reschedule the recording." 5. Select any Analog channel in Live TV. 6. Windows Media Center displays the error "Tuner Not Available: The tuner is currently in use by another application or is not working. Please close all other applications, restart Windows Media Center, and then try again." 7. Select any HDTV channel in Live TV. 8. Windows Media Center displays the error "No TV Signal: There is currently no TV signal detected for this channel. The channel may be temporarily off-the-air, or you may need to adjust or reconnect your TV antenna." 5. Reboot PC. 6. Viewing Live TV and recording shows works normally in Windows Media Center for both Analog and HDTV signals (until the initial condition described above occurs again). This problem can be reliably reproduced every time the above steps are followed. The tuner's "ATI Unified AVStream Driver" listed in Device Manager reports it is working normally at all times. I am using an antenna for the HDTV signal and a cable signal for Analog. The cable signal is connected to the TV Wonder using S-Video from a cable box. Hardware Configuration: EVGA e-GeForce 8600 GTS video card EVGA nForce 680i SLI motherboard Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor 2GB RAM (two 1GB Patriot memory sticks) VisionTek ATI TV Wonder 650 tuner Software Configuration: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit Windows Media Center 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm.080118-1840) ATI Catalyst 8.3 nVidia Forceware video driver 169.25 nVidia nForce chipset driver 15.08 I've pursued this issue with both ATI/AMD and VisionTek. ATI says the problem is with Windows Media Center. VisionTek has been unresponsive. This problem has persisted through several tuner driver upgrades and Vista updates. I am using the most recent drivers and Vista updates. Any suggestions for resolving this? Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180812

    - Protecting a single file/folder Hello, Just a general question here... but it's one I have searched all through the help files and cannot find the answer to. I need to know if there is any way to protect: 1.) password protect a single folder on the C drive of a computer? 2.) Protect the C drive from a user deleting/editing files on it. Basically, my problem is, I have one machine which is only allowed this one user account, but I must share it with another user. The other user tends to get "brilliant" and start playing around on the machine changing settings, etc. I have certain files/programs on the machine that I don't want all messed up from someone playing around... as innocent as it may be. I figure if I can at least protect my own folders (and maybe the C drive) that will help tremendously. Anyway, any advice on how to handle this would be great. Thanks!

    - Certain Channel's TV Show Guide COMPLETELY wrong Recently I noticed that the TV show guide listings are wrong but only for certain channels. For example, in my DirecTV listing for NY channel 231 (Food Network) is just plain wrong. Not off by a couple of hours, the entire days' guide is wrong. I didn't fully research how many channels this also occured with but there were at least 2 other channel near 231 thta had the same problem. I tried downloading the guide a few times. I tried using the DirecTV guide for USA not just for NY. The problem persists. This gets annoying since the program info doesn't match what show I'm recording. It also messes up the 'search guide listings' factor. HELP! Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180782

    - Live-TV on Media Center PC via Xbox360 extender stops when buffer I recently tried to watch TV with my Media Center Edition 2005 PC and PCI-TV tuner card, controlled via my Xbox360 as extender. It shows live TV alright, but it bluntly stops when the buffer is full. When that happens it shows a message that the buffer is full, but when I change channels it shows the new channel again until the buffer is full again. What do I do wrong?

    - Can't import video from Windows MediaCenter recorded TV When I try to import video from the Windows Media Center recorded TV folder I get an error message like this: [K:\recorded tv\Breakfast.dvr-ms could not be imported. Unspecified error] I can import files with other extensions from the same folder e.g. .mpg, .avi but not .dvr-ms. Why? I know other people can do this but - why can't I? What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help... Malcolm H Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180724

    - Antenna Signal: Computer vs. TV Does anyone have any idea why my TV can receive a digital channel but my computer cannot? It worked before, but now does not. Many of the digital channels still come in fine, but the local CBS and CW affiliates are all reading red in the signal strength setup screen. I did install a new VIX PureTV driver on my HP Vista PC, but I don't know if the problem started immediately after that or later. Thanks, Marc Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180720

    - Vista Media Center - RecordedTV Listing Style I have used MediaCenter for XP in the past and though the RecordedTV listings were less sexy, when going through a long list, it's actually a lot easier to use this style than to use the Vista MediaCenter default of large thumbnail images. Is there a way to switch the RecordedTV listings to a simpler, more "old-fashioned" style in Vista MediaCenter? Appreciate your help. Alex Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180719

    - Welcome screen change I recently did a destructive recovery on my HP desktop. In essence, it is an update from MCE 2004 to 2005. Everything is getting back to normal except for one thing: Welcome screen just says "welcome". It boots just fine. Before I go and do something stupid, how do I get into the Welcome screen setup? What I want back is the Welcome screen that shows the administrator icon and name. I know I can reconfigure in UserAccounts but not sure if this will actually change the welcome screen. Any advice?

    - Connection problem from Xbox 360 to Windows Premium PC I have a problem with connecting an Xbox 360 to a Windows Vista Premium PC I can get it connected but it takes several attempts before it connects First few attempts it comes up with the following error, The xbox 360 has experienced a failure and has been disconnected from the media centre based pc. You then have the option to try again, and normally after 3 or 4 attempts it will connect and works great. Its just this small issue with not immediately connecting . The PC and the Xbox are connected Via a Linksys Router, and my PC based Firewalls are off. Its just reall frustrating when 2 new products that are designed to connect just dont every time. -- iain murray Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180678

    - VHS and MC - PLease Help Hello All I am hoping someone can help. I have purchased a cheap VHS machine with the intention of copying my old VHS Tapes to our media centre. As the VHS technology is becomming obsolete, I see it fitting to transfer our wedding etc to the media centre. The VHS machine only has an atenna output and input. The output goes to our media centre and the input comes from our aerial. We are able to watch television but cannot play back any of our old VHS videos. When we play any VHS tape it plays but is very fuzzy. If I remove the aerial from the input on the VHS Machine, it becomes very clear for a short period then throws up a blue screen message saying that it is Restricted Content. After searching the net, I have found no solution to this. Infact I have found that it is a copyright restriction. Copyright? How odd, it is my media centre, my VHS tapes containing if anything, my own "copywritten" content. My wedding has nothing to do with Microsoft or VHS for that matter and I believe that I have the right to protect my content and convert it into a format that I may view on my media centre. Could someone please help me find a solution? Surely if I can get a clean playback signal, I can use the media centre to copy it. It is after all, my content, not VHS or Microsofts. Hugely Disappointed and Frustrated. Tag: Media Center overrides sound card! Tag: 180668

Help! I just finished configuring Windows Media Center...and I think it has
control of my sound card driver. Dolby Digital Live and DTS Interactive no
longer work. (both output 2ch PCM) In fact, changing the system input
settings on my sound card no longer stops the output of the current program,
which it used to to do. I've played with every setting I can find. I tried
rebooting. What am I missing? How do I get my sound card software back in
control? I want DTS Interactive back. In fact, I want all my audio processing
functions back.

My card refuses to output anything but 2ch PCM, except when it's passing
through 5.1. And none of it's processing functions work. Google was no help,
neither was searching the site. Anyone got any ideas? My sound card is an HT
Omega Claro. I'm running Vista Ultimate x64 with SP1

Sound has to be setup in about three places for everything to work.

Sound Manager, Windows Media Player, and in the Media Center interface
itself.

Sound Manager is in the Control Panel.

You also may need to re-install your sound system driver. Should be on the
Motherboard driver CD.

Re-installing the motherboard sound driver fixed my problems with the sound
system.
