    - Windows XP MCE 2005 and 2002 disc count?? I think I'm in the right area for this. I have just recently snagged a couple boxes of old hardware and computer discs from a friend who switched right on to Vista. Paid a couple hundred dollars for all the stuff, and one of the things that caught my eye was MCE 2005 disks. There is a booklet, with a key, and 2 discs. I went through the booklet, seemed to be a generic, for all XP system discs... and it said nothing about the disk count. There have been a few websites that have used the number 3 or 2...so...which is it. I have another box to open, but he's a pretty organized guy. I see only 2 discs, labeled as disc 1 and disc 2. Is this all I need if I plan to reinstall XP with these? If I have to buy them I will, but I've already dumped money into this and would hate to send away for the 2005 cds and find there are only 2...so... Any ideas?

    - Windows Media Center For some unknown reason, the Media Center program in my pc stopped working. A few seconds after it opens, this message pops up: "Media Center has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Then the pop up disappears, the background becomes black and nothing happens. Can someone give me a hand so I can solve this issue? Thanks Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181953

    - OneCare flashes expiration date on startup of Media Center via Ext This is a new phenomenon for me. Now whenever I startup an an extender session of Media Center 2005 XP , I see OneCare open full screen on my TV and declare that I have so many months left before it expires along with other information. I believe it is the spash screen that is seen when I open OneCare manually (status screen). This is annoying because it takes over the Media Center menu while it displays this information (sometimes for around 5 or 10 seconds before dissappearing). Is there a setting that will stop this from happening. I also notice that when I run Media Center directly from my PC I do NOT see this same behavior. Only with my LinkSys Extender connection. Thanks! Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181949

    - Constant update notices, won't stop! Every time I try to turn off my pc, it keeps telling me it is going to update my pc, but then I get a notice that some Net. framework 2.0 can't be installed. I have tried everything to get rid of this, but don't know how. Is anyone else having this problem? I never had a problem with updates before. I don't know much about technical stuff, and the support sites might as well be in Greek, I have no idea what their resolution is for this problem. Can anyone explain it to a recent Luddite in terms I can understand? Thanks for any help! -- E. Erick, Chicago, IL Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181948

    - USB Cell Modem Balky I just acquired a usb wireless modem to connect to the Internet via the cellular network here in Italy. It almost works. The software, including the driver, installs. The connection software makes a successful connection, even at high speed (HSDPA) but it's a connection that is not visible to programs seeking to go online: there is no transfer of data. I managed to work around this by creating a separate connection in Dial-Up Networking or by using the service provider's generic connection software. Now the connection succeeds but at a certain point â?? it could be two minutes, it could be 40 â?? the exchange of data stops. The connection is not lost â?? it's just a connection that is not functioning. I spent a lot of time with technicians from the provider and the manufacturer who denied any responsibility for the condition â?? until the manufacturer (Onda, an Italian firm that puts its brand on a product made in China, of course. I can't figure out whose design it is. It's a pen drive format, the model number is MT505UP) disclosed in a P.S. that the product is not certified for XP Media Center Edition. Now, what I'd like to know for a start is, what is so peculiar about Media Center that poses a problem for the designers of drivers and software? I thought it was just a minor embellishment of XP Professional. If it is known what this peculiarity is, can't someone at Microsoft help these befuddled designers to adapt their software to the system? Short of that, is there any way to change the configuration of Media Center or the services enabled or disabled to facilitate coexistence with the modem? I realize this is an obscure problem â?? but that's why I'm turning to this forum, in the hope that someone out there can put me on the road to solving it. Thanks.

    - CD-R/DVD drive suddenly gives no disc error for any 'blank' CD-R I have been using Nero Burning software since 4 years now to backup data onto CD-Rs on my laptop. I remember uninstalling NTI CD/DVD maker (which was factory supplied) using the Add/Remove utility last week, as my computer was running too slow. Now when I tried to do my weekly backup, Nero says that the CD-R drive is empty. Windows shows a "Please insert a disk into drive" error as well. I did the following in my attempt to resolve the issue, however the error persists: - confirmed that the disc is spinning in the tray - ensured the driver is working properly (via device manager) - ensured that drive letter assignment is set to a letter other than C - cold started the computer - wiped the lens with a swab & alcohol - switched the CD-R discs with a higher quality make - downloaded and installed CDBurnerXP (error shown: No Media) - deleted registry entries for UpperFilters and LowerFilters using 'Guided Help' provided here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 Please note that the drive can successfully read all CDs / previously burned CD-Rs / & DVDs except for 'blank' CD-Rs. When a blank CD-R is inserted, the drive also takes a much longer time with the usual humming. OS specs: Windows XP Home Edition, Service Pack 2 CD-R/DVD drive specs: QSI CDRW/DVD SBW-242 Laptop: Acer TravelMate 240 Kindly help me... Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181931

    - Panasonic HD Video Camera- Can't upload video into MCE I have a Panasonic HD Video Camera (HDC-SX5P). The installation disk says that it will only work with Home Edition or Professional Edition of Service Pack 2, not Media Edition. I tried to install the disk (HD Writer 2.0E for SX/SD) anyway and it did not work. Is there an easy way to get my videos from the video camera to the PC without changing my operating system to Home Edition?

    - Remove Media Center Hi, I was told in a different group I could not use a MCE product key to activate a system installed from a Home edition DVD, so now I'm going for installing my OEM MCE and remove the media functions afterwards. Does anybody know if I can shut down the MC services and uninstall the components, or simply remove MC files, folders and registry entries without jeopardizing the stability of the OS? What can and what can't I remove. JJ Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181897

Will I have any disk errors as a result of shutting down Windows during the disk check? Note that I shutdown Windows from the Start menu, not a hard power-off. Here is how I started the disk check: My Computer -> right click on hard-disk -> Tools -> Error Checking - clicked 'Automatically fix file system errors' - clicked 'Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors' - clicked 'Start' Thanks, Loosley Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181892

    - Installing Media Center on Windows 2008 Hello, Just about everything MS doesn't enable in 2008 such as sidebar, dreamscene, live mail etc all work on Windows 2008 - but without the slow performance of Vista. I have the install disc for Vista and a valid license. If anyone figures a way to get media center working on this great OS please let me know. A lot of people who have tried out Win2k8 as a desktop seem very happy and even though I really really really didn't like Vista because of the slow performance, I have to admit 2008 seems to do everything Vista SP1 does but at the speed of XP.

    - Unable to allocate from system paged pool... Recently I started getting this message "Unable to allocation from system paged pool because the pool was empty" I found a reference to this message on another forum and it gave the following solution. Problem is, that solution was for Server/2003 and I am running XP. Also, I have a pagefile size in my registry (Pagingfiles ... 758 1536) and don't know whether adding the PagedPoolSize referred to below will conflict with Pagingfiles. The solution offered in the other forum is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management Value name: PoolUsageMaximum Data type: REG_DWORD Radix: Decimal Value data: 60 < change to or add this value Value name: PagedPoolSize Data type: REG_DWORD Radix: Hex Value data: 0xFFFFFFFF < change to or add this value Is it safe to make this change on my XP system?

    - Guide download Hiya, I've got Vista Home Premium running SP1 and it comes with Media Center (MC) bundled in. At first it would download the TV guide updates without a problem...but now it won't download them at all. I've googled all over trying to find a cure and everywhere goes on about deleting the EPG directory and machine keys...but I don't appear to have them on my PC, or if they are I can't find them. I was going to uninstall and re-install MC, in the hope that this sorts out the directories I need, but I don't appear to be able to do that either. Also I've been wondering do I need to open any ports on my router to allow the guide download? If so which ones? Any help would be great, because this is driving me mad!

    - Repair XP Pro Hello there I recently wanted to do a back-up and, when asked whether I wanted to compress the harddisc (can't even remember how I got there), clicked YES. That was when the problems started. All of a sudden I got a message that files were being replaced with non-original ones and that I shoudl insert the programme disc. But my laptop came with XP installed. Is there any way that I can repair the OS? I can still use the laptop for most things but some programmes won't work properly and it is generally a nuisance. Thanks Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181852

    - My upgrade suggestion for Vista Media Center I do think Vista Media Center is a great improvement over MCE 2005, but it does need to realize the modern reality that people now have large digital libraries of video, music, and pictures. Apple TV has a good way to purchase new media, as well as integration with podcasting and the iTunes store. Looking at the default options in VMC, I would upgrade it to have the following: Main Menu: Pictures + Videos - stuff I took with my camera *More Pictures - browse shared images on the network if you have a home network *Picture Library - browse your image library *Video Library - browse your home videos *Search - find an image based on tags or on date taken Games - mini-games for use within Media Center, kind of like Mario Party-style or iPod game style games *More Games - buy or download for free new games from the game market *Game Library - pick a game from the ones you now own. *Play random - picks a game at random Now Playing + Playlists *Playlists - tv, movie, and music playlists here, sortable by type (tv/movie/music) *Now Playing - currently playing media and what's in queue *Create Playlist - create a playlist of media, tv, music, movies, or all mixed TV - watch, record, playback, purchase *Explore - free TV shows from content providers with advertisements. So if NBC allows you to watch a show online, you can click 'NBC', then the show name, and go watch it, streaming. *More TV - similar to iTunes, but allows you to browse through available shows, purchase them, see clips, etc. within VMC. You can subscribe to a show (purchase a season pass), and as new episodes come out, they download for you and show up as 'new' in your TV library *TV Library - just like music library, organized by show, season, then episode. When viewing a series, you can 'play all' to play the whole series from start to finish (no interruption to 'delete'). When viewing a season, you can 'play season' to play the whole season immediately. Underneath this 'play all/season' you would see 'add to queue' to put the series/season/episode into the now playing playlist. This is viewed as banners, thumbnails, or DVD covers. *Internet TV - see the channels you subscribed to online, like RTL or Japan TV, and get new channels here too. *Search - search for a show based on actor, director, writer, keyword from the description, year, etc. in your library. If the library sees episodes missing, they will appear in the library grayed out, but over the thumbnail, you see 'purchase this episode' or 'complete this season of x-show.' Movies - watch, rip, purchase movies *More Movies - find and purchase movies online through the Zune Marketplace, integrated as a Media Center experience. Search by actor, year, title, keyword, genre, director, series, etc. *Movie Library - browse your movie collection purchased/saved to your hard drive as DVD covers, view information, and 'add to queue' to play a series of movies back-to-back. *Search - find a movie based on rating, length, actor, director, series, year, genre, etc. Music - play albums, artists, years, etc. like in media player *Settings - here you can check your albums to make sure the album art is correct, etc. *More Music - music store to purchase music, with recommendations based on your current library. *Music Video Library - view/sort music videos by title/artist/genre, etc. In the details view, you can see either 'purchase album' or 'play album' if you own the album that video comes from. Otherwise, you can 'add to queue' to add to the now playing list. *Music Library - sort by album, artist, etc. *Play All - plays all music *Radio - if you have a radio tuner on the PC, you can hear those station here. *Internet Radio - if a station streams online, it will show here *Search - find music in your library. After searching, if there is a new album by, say, the Cardigans, a link under the library will show "Buy the new Cardigans album 'Erase and Rewind'" which takes you to the music store to try it out and purchase it. Podcasts - get your podcasts organized here *Settings - change when to delete podcasts, when to download, etc. *More Podcasts - get more podcasts from the online directory of *Podcast Library - view downloaded podcasts by name (thumbnail view) *Download Status - see what is downloading and what's in queue to download *Search - find a podcast Sports - same as now. I don't really use it much. Online Media - find new plug-ins and mini-games, etc. Kind of like games for iPod, since a Media Center is supposed to be a social computer. *More Programs - search online database for new miniprograms for VMC. Most are free, 50 cents, or 99 cents *Program Library - mini-programs you downloaded *Explore - internet based content based on your preferences (tv, movies, music you own), by content providers *Learn How - how to do things within VMC Tasks - backend tasks to add content, change settings, etc. *Settings - change settings for menus, how content is arranged, etc. You can change TV Series backgrounds to cast photos, for example. *Shutdown *Burn CD/DVD - create your own music or video CD/DVD. Pick from content in your library, *Sync - add podcasts, shows, music to your portable media player *Add Extender - Media Center finds and configures your Media Extender on the network *Add Network Storage - VMC finds a network storage device and integrates it into your library. If your files there aren't tagged, you can choose to tag them as well. *Codecs - view/add codecs to the media center. You can see how many files require a given codec. *Media Only - locks computer into VMC for use while you've got company That's how I'd arrange and upgrade Vista Media Center. If something's unclear, let me know. James ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Lost Windows Explorer I have completely lost Windows explorer - it is nowhere to be found on my computer. It is what I use most often to search for and organize files and folders. I'm not sure exactly when this happened, and can't really connect it to any other event - I haven't really had any other "suspicious" events recently. Is there a download for just Windows Explorer? My Windows was factory installed, so I don't have an original disk. Thanks for any help! Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181825

    - Suitable Replacement of Sonic Encoders Hi Forum Members: I have Windows XP Media Center 2005(2). My system is only 18 months old and I have spent most of that time fixing the "sonic encoders" within Media Center. I have Version 1 and they are extremely unstable and not very reliable. Sonic Encoders are only available to OEMs and Dell Technical Staff have absolutely "no clue" on what they are, how to fix or repair, etc. I've had to do several clean install (lost track over 10 in the past year) and several "repairs" to the Operating System in order to things working again. Since Christmastime, Microsoft Security Updates have been affecting my Operating System as well. In particular, the Internet Explorer, Media Center and other software?! The Create DVD portion of Media Center freezes and won't go past 2-3%. The Event Logs state "sonic burn error" but I don't see that error message at all??? Any suggestions on how to fix this continuous problem or an MCE Plug-in that would work in place of the "Sonic Encoders". thanks, kattails Toronto, Ontario Dell 5150, Pent.D820 Dual Core, 2.8 GHz, 250GB, 1GB-DDR2 SD RAM 533 MHz, NVIDIA Graphics 6800; ATI Theatre 550 Pro-TV Tuner Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181810

    - Upgrade MCE to XP Pro? I'm working on an MCE 2005 box for my employer that I'd like to use on a domain. Having dug around this newsgroup, I see that it's possible to do that, but my boss has already purchased an XP Pro upgrade. When I try to perform the upgrade, I get the message,"The CD key you entered is invalid". I've followed the instructions in the KB article 310637 to no avail. Am I barking up the wrong tree? I'd like to avoid wiping the box and installing XP Pro from scratch, and I don't want to use some hack to get the box on the domain. Suggestions? Tag: Windows Media Center/Player Tag: 181809

After copying many CDs into Media Center (Vista), when tracks are played back
from 'Library', many of them skip at the end, or sound 'bumpy'. How does
this get fixed? OR what is the cause so can be corrected? Thanks.

If you used Windows Media Player to copy the music to your library, I feel
your pain. I have yet to have a clean rip of a CD using WMP.
