    - Sound issue when watching TV thru XP media center edition 2002 Recently when I try to watch any TV channel thru Media Center, I hear a constant ringing/beeping type sound, instead of the regular audio. I only hear this sound when trying to watch live TV. My recorded TV shows sounds just fine and my other applications audio sound fine as well. I can't think of anything I've changed recently to have caused this sound issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183518

    - shell32.dll usb eject error I have an amd 4200+ Athlon 64 X2 with 2GB ram running windows XP MCE service pack 3. Every time I try to eject a usb device I recieve the following error: " An exception occurred while trying to run "shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll" ". I can close windows explorer and remove the device ( usually a jump drive or usb hard drive) but I am worried about data loss. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this situation? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks P.S. and yes I make sure I have closed out any programs running or accessing the usb device before I try ejecting it. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183517

    - WMC and TV tuners. I am looking all over the web for a suitable TV tuner to work with my Vista WMC. All I see throughout are many people having problems. Why is this so difficult? For example I tried working with a Hauppauge PCI 1250. Totally hopeless. Even with their most up to date driver from their web site the stuff prevents the Vista from shutting down. This is 2008 guys! Why do we still have 10 year old type driver problems? Question to all here --- Does anybody have a Vista Home premium compatible TV tuner that works with Comcast (CA/San Francisco) that can get Analogue and Digital TV stations with no problem. Anybody?

    - 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: Network disk storage 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 folders for pictures. It does not permit searching beyond this folder.

    - 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...

    - 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.

    - 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 "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!

    - Can I record directly from my DirectTV (harddrive) to my computer I was wondering how do I record directly to my computer using Media Center. I know it can record direct from TV but why can it not record input that is coming directly from the same DirectTV box its the same input signal but HOW do I do it? If it can't be done that is a very very sad mistake by Microsoft...But it wouldn't be the first time. I do not have Vista I am using XP with the Media Center. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183479

    - No "Play DVD" or "DVD Library" option I changed the ShowGallery registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\DvdSettings from "Play" to "Gallery" to replace the "Play DVD" option with "DVD Library" option. Everything seemed fine. At some 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 option back to the TV + Movies section of Media Center? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183478

    - 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 Thanks Don Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183476

    - 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. Dan Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183467

    - 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. Thanks Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183457

    - 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)? -- PT Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183444

    - 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 (although the tuner is fine the rest of the time). 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 virus checker from AVG. I don't know if anyone else has had problems with this? I've excluded the Recorded TV folder from the virus checker - does anyone have any advice as to anything else I should exclude? Cheers Eric Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183442

    - 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.

    - 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.

However, when I try to set up my internet connection with the Media Center using the Connection they show (MSN) and entering my password and then using the "Test" procedure to verify Media Center can connect to the internet I get the message "Specific Dial-Up Connection Cannot Be Found".

Here it is: - Brought my home PC into work to update the OS to at least SP2. - Proceeded to Windows Update web page - 78 updates required, one of each was SP2, great so far. - All updates installed, bar the one I wanted, SP2 - Went back into the site, clicked on "Express", gave details on SP2, size 75MB etc and installed it, restarted PC, still have SP1 installed. -Went back into update, SP2 still available to dl, however, the size is now 0MB, tried it again, still the same, 0MB, installation will not work - I also downloaded the image of SP2, burnt it on CD, tried it, files extract, wizard appears, I click next, wizard disappers, nothing happens, tried this a few times, wizard keeps disappering. Thats it really, I tried renaming Software Distribution folder ,as per other posts but still, no joy. I am at my end, I would tear out my hair, if I had any. I have tried everything, I feel like giving up now. If you can help me with the above issue, please let me know. Thanks in advance, James. -- ****DJSIM**** Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183406

    - 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 by an elderly relative who didn't know any better. The warranty ended some time ago. The sound volume has always been very low. I've gone into all the properties of the control panel for sound, turned up all volume levels on the audio settings, all to know avail. I've also messed around with the wires and plugs in the back of the computer itself. Trust me, I've done everything; tutorials also. Can anyone point me to a site, or anyone who has the reason for this? It's really irritating when you have to put your head up to the monitor screen to hear what's coming out of the speakers. The room has to be almost completely quite to hear anything. I would be so grateful if someone could please help me out. Thank you in advance, and God bless. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183400

    - Need to repair my LAN connection every few minutes The problem started about a week ago. Turned the PC on, try to check my email and it basically timed out and got an error message that it could not connect with my ISP mail server. Called my ISP (Time Warner and I have the digital package with TV, phone and cable internet...Roadrunner) and they said the connection looks good on their 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. Jags. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183389

    - Changing Windows XP to Windows Vista I've just done a Vista advisory download and it says it recommends Vista Home Premium. What problems should I look for if I decide to change to Vista? I can't find an appropriate answer by googling this question. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183385

    - Have a problem with Wordpad While using wordpad, I can access the font menue and select a different font or font size but when I look into the wordpad window or look at a print-out from the printer, the font and font size is always the default. Your suggestions please. Tag: Network disk storage Tag: 183371

I'm interested in putting some network disk storage on my home network. Could
I use this to store MCE content on (eg recorded TV) and access it from my MCE?

I've heard horror stories of network disks coming FAT32, and so only being
able to store files of up to 4Gb - which is obviously a bit of a limitation
for recorded TV files.

To be honest, I'm not looking for masive extra storage. 250Gb would be
excellent, 500Gb would be mind boggling.

Does anyone have any experience or recommendation for affordable network
storage for MCE?

By default, MCE will not record to a networked share/device. You can copy
the Recorded TV content to a NAS and then map that folder to your My Videos
and watch the Recorded TV from there. MCE was not really intended to to
handle recorded tv in a networked storage scenario.
