    - Windows automatic or any updates to not install I'm getting "Some updates were not installed" AT this point I've racked up 35 updates that aren't installing. Are there any hot fixes or ways to get update to recognize my valid genuine version of windows. (I recently had a computer failure...so had to rebuild and did a repair install of my windows xp pro program. Perhaps it's not recognizing I am licensed?) Please advise Thank you.

    - Some Channels Juddering (E4) I have recently set up a media centre to run the home TV. Everything is working fine, except a couple of channels (E4, Channel 4) are juddering and are unwatchable. My normal cheap freeview receiver had no problems with these channels, but to be sure, I tried a digital TV booster which has made no difference at all. All other channels are perfect, it never complains about lack of signal, and it found the channels straight away in the scan, but they just can't be watched properly. I have ensured that I have all the latest drivers, does anyone have any suggestions of what to try next? Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184376

    - Media Center no longer recognises antenna signal Hello, My Windows Media Center (Vista 32) no longer scans for channels from the antenna connection. I used to be able to scan for DVB-T and receive all my local HD channels but now it finds no services. Not even on Analog Terrestial. I have a Hauppauge HVR-1200 TV tuner and recently tested several other PVR software packages (GB-PVR, MediaPortal, SageTV, WinTV). None were as good as the Windows Media Center so I uninstalled them. Now when I go to set up my tv signal, I select DVB-T and then it goes to the SetTop Box setup option rather than the scan for channels option. Any clues as to how I can fix this? I've reinstalled drivers from the Hauppauge site but it makes no difference so I'm guessing it's a Media Center setting or something causing the problems. Any ideas? Thanks. -- James Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184362

    - DISPLAY PROPERTIES SCREEN SAVERS NOT WORKING HP desktop 1601n WinXP Pro 2 GB RAM 160 GB HD nVidia video card ViewSonic 2021m Flat Panel LCD Since having to reformat my system, I can't get the screensavers to work even though I set them up in DISPLAY PROPERTIES (right-clicking on the desktop). When the time I set for the SS to begin has elapsed with no activity on my part, nothing happens. Can someone shed some light on why this may be happening (or not happening, I should say!). The screensaver does work when I click the "Preview" button, but that's meaningless when I bump the mouse and it reverts to the desktop. I also changed the Power from EnergyStar to Home Office/Desk, but no soap. THANKS goob -- ALL ABOUT ME/goobmeister Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184361

    - nVidia MediaShield I have a gigabyte KN8NF9 motherboard and MCE2005. I run a RAID1 and nVidia MediaShield does not show any RAID device at all. System Device Manager shows an nVidia RAID, and it is clearly set up in the BIOS. Gigabytes answer to date is that MCE is not on the supported OS list. I am sure this worked just fine once upon a time, and having uninstalled and reinstalled all of the nVidia software, either it does not work through some incompatibility that was introduced, or something else happened to break it. Does anyone else run RAIDs and expect MediaSHield to work, and does it work on MCE? Thanks, Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184360

    - Navigation Issue Hi All, I have the following issue: When I use the remote control using the directional keys (up/down/left/right) I have great difficulty to select all items as for some reason items are skipped. So if I press up once in a list of items, it doesn't go to the item above, but is goes to the item above that one. This is an example of course but it works like that for all directional keys. That means that in a folder with e.g. a lot of pictures, I'm able to navigate to about 50% if all items, so you can believe this is not workable and very annoying. I'm using an original Microsoft MCE remote, and (so far) haven't had any other issues with the remote. Cheers, Andre Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184357

    - After Windows updates, User profile won't load half the time After I downloaded some Windows XP updates, my User profile (the only profile on my laptop) only loads about 1/2 the time. When it won't load, I get an error window that comes up stating that the User Profile cannot be loaded because of "insufficient system resources". Since I am the only User, with only 1 profile, it chooses to load the "default" profile (which takes FOREVER to load, unlike the normal User profile load) and loads all of my desktop icons and programs. However, it does NOT load my wallpaper (just a plain blue screen), and my POP3 e-mail program required me to create a new identity just to see my regular e-mail (I did not have to create a different e-mail user account, however). It makes no difference if I cold boot or warm boot; it just seems to decide all by itself when it wants to load and when it doesn't. Oh, and I've already tried unloading the updates, defrag, Trend Micro Internet Security scans, and RegCure. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!! Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184353

    - help? is there any way around this Can I use my M-Audio device with Windows XP Media Center Edition? A: No, M-Audio device drivers are not supported under Windows XP Media Center Edition (WMCE). While WMCE shares many of the features of Windows XP Professional, it is a distinct version of Windows XP; separate from both XP Professional and XP Home. Windows XP MCE is customized by each manufacturer (Dell, HP, Compaq, etc) for the hardware included in their systems. The manual for Windows XP MCE states that third-party sound devices are not supported; only the built-in motherboard sound device or card that originally came with the system is supported. Additionally, M-Audio USB devices designed to function without installing a driver (aka â??class compliant devicesâ??) are also not supported under WMCE. The technical support team at Sweetwater.com deals with pro-audio recording equipment and software from most every major manufacturer. Sweetwater has compiled an unofficial list of WMCE incompatibilities that suggests an industry-wide lack of support for WMCE. While some users have been able to get their M-Audio interface installed and working under WMCE, it is not uncommon to experience a sudden loss of functionality. Q: How do I know if I have Windows XP Media Center Edition installed on my system? A: If you are unsure whether or not you are using XP Home, Professional, or Media Center Edition, you can do the following: 1. Go to the Start button in the lower left-hand corner of your computer screen. 2. Click on the Control Panel icon, then locate and double-click the System icon. 3. The General tab of the System Properties dialog displays information on which version of Windows XP you are using. Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184346

    - VISTA MCE Question Hi guys, Is there a way to watch live tv while recording another show on Vista? I have a hauppage 1600 card. I do not have over the air HDTV. I do have a set top box from cablevision. Which works well now and I can record and watch pretty much what I want, except of course for the HDTV channels from cablevision which show the gray bars on both sides of the picture. But what I would like to do is while recording a show in VMC via the set top box, can I watch another live show maybe playing at the same time I am recording another show? For example let us say at 8pm Ghost whisperer and Lost are coming on at the same time. While recording Ghost Whisperer can I watch Lost or even record Lost at the same time? If so how do I do that in VMC. Thanks in Advance Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184318

    - Xbox 360-Vista MCE Extender-no startup menu options&Icons Hi, I have encountered a very strange issue.... Yesterday I uninstalled Windows Live Onecare, installed Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0, started up Vista MCE on my 360.... I accepted all the firewall rule questions for the Xbox to access Vista resources.... The 360 logs into Vista fine, starts up the extender front end BUT, there are no ICONs or menu options displayed at all.. Just the animated blue VISTA MCE background. On my MCE remote, if I press, My Videos, My TV, My Pics etc, it does go into the appropriate option and functions fine - its just the main menu that is blank.. My media access via the standard 360 interface all works perfectly.. Any ideas? Kind Regards Dom Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184316

Have you read the manga named Maken-ki? This manga series is as nice as To-Love-ru!!! The illustrator is Hiromitsu Takeda and his girls are incredibly gorgeous. The story is described as an "ecchi love comedy with battle action." Oyama Takeshi happily enrolls in a co-ed school that didn't required any entrance exams and has hostels to book... Only to find out that there's more to the school than he thought! It is very good that Takeda-san likes to draw his girls with very big eyes. Have only read a bit so far but many of the girls have an item called "Maken" - each are different and have varying powers when used in battle. And as with all good school girl battles, their clothes easily explode. And there are characters for folks who like loli's too. Maken Ki has been an entertaining read so far and look forward to more!!! I am sure that you must be love it at the first glance!!! http://english1.isoshu.com/search/Maken-ki/all-1?recommid=1023 Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184308

    - Removing an Unwanted/Strange Folder from a WMC Video Library listing This is a second try at a problem/post I put-up a few days ago. I had some names and facts wrong so I think it is best to restart from scratch... I have setup WMC on a Vista box. Everything works fine except when I scroll to the Video Library section the first folder is named after the name of my c: drive "MediaCenter1" . This folder contains strange sub folders (16 of them) with titles like:- Create Disk -- with subfolders - Components, Filters, SFXPlugins, Sonic Resources, Stte, Styles en-US -- with one subfolder Intro -- (Some kind of short demo video of people in a room) MIX -- with one subfolder Intro -- X02 Aspectratio4X3 (billiards demo). there are 16 in all. When I go to my C:\ directory I find .wmv with titles like these in the "C:\Windows\ehome" folder (along with many .dll's etc.). Clearly WMC is including this folder in my Video Library. I cannot seem to get rid of it. I tried including the folder C:\ in the files to watch and then removed them from the files to watch with no success. Put simply. How do you remove a folder from the WMC video library listing. Is there some Registry entry? .... the Video folder (where I have a few sub folders each containing a number of .avi files) I have a problem. The first sub-folder listed (which happens to have the name I gave the computer itself, "Media_Center_1", has 16 short video files (.WMV's) that I cannot locate. WMC will not let me delete these files. More annoying I cannot locate, remove, or even hide that folder. It's a bit of an eye sore amongst my own folders. It's not on my WMC list of folders to watch for changes etc. Any suggestions how I locate/remove this folder from being listed. The other Vista box does not display this folder. I am really puzzled! OK It looks like I got things a little mixed up in names. "Media_Center_1" is the name I have for the problem WMC computer. "MediaCenter1" is the name I have for the C: drive. This is the offending folder that appears in the WMC Video library (see below). This is the folder I wish to remove. It contains strange sub folders (16 of them) with tittles like:- Create Disk -- with subfolders - Components, Filters, SFXPlugins, SonicResources, Stte, Styles en-US -- with one subfolder Intro -- (Some kind of short demo video of people in a room) MCX -- with one subfolder Intro -- X02 Aspectratio4X3 (billards demo) .... Ther are 16 of these strange folders. The all seem to be related to WMC but I cannot figure how to stop them appearing in the Library listing. C:\ is not in my list of folders to watch. The actual files are in some kind of strange \Windows directory with all kinds of strange numbers in the names. Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184305

    - XP Service Pack 2 Installation problems I'll try to be brief. Recently had XP Home with Service Pack 2. Had some problems with USB in course of solving it (with help) removed SP 2 and reinstalled XP Home. USB fine. When try to install SP 2, it copies files OK then hangs whenever it checks for 'neccessary disk space'. In Task Manager, when this is happening the processor is wiorking at 100% constantly. In case it is relevant, Windows Explorer does not show status bar any more by default - I have to show it every time I start up, sometimes when using Windows Explorer, a 'preparing to install' box shows up briefly and then disappears with no apparent effect. Anyone got any ideas please ? Thanks Rick Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184234

    - digital signature does not validate I'm fighting a pesky error, that I believe is in XP. System is XP Pro SP3 with all updates. Office 2003 suite is currently installed. I have a retail boxed CD of Office 2007 Home and Student. The first thing that appears when it is loaded is a message: "D:\HomeStudentr.WW\OSETUP.DLL digital signature does not validate or is not present." Click OK and nothing more is done/seen. There are many reports of this problem in the Office 2007 sites, most replies focus on the CD. It is NOT the CD. It works fine on another computer, also I get the same error with this computer and another CD of Office 2007 HSE. It is not the CD reader either. Following some suggestions, I used WinZip to extract the files and put them on a clean USB HDD. Same thing happens there, too. It is definitely a software problem in XP or whatever install package Office is using. If the software in the system is corrupted somehow, what is the fix? Might it be a missing root Certificate Authority? Miss-behavior by a 3rd party firewall (it is using CA)? Many would appreciate a real solution to this problem.

    - How can I choose the file format to burn to audio CD? I need be be able to burn audio discs for my car but my car will only read MP3 files. Many of my audio files are in mp4 format. I've installed a plugin that allows WMP to read mp4 but when burning I don't get an option that I can tell to select what audio format I want my burned disc to use. How can I tell WMP to burn my audio files to mp3? Thanks Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184226

    - XP SP 2 problem I'll try to be brief. Recently had XP Home with Service Pack 2. Had some problems with USB in course of solving it (with help) removed SP 2 and reinstalled XP Home. USB fine. When try to install SP 2, it copies files OK then hangs whenever it checks for 'neccessary disk space'. In Task Manager, when this is happening the processor is wiorking at 100% constantly. In case it is relevant, Windows Explorer does not show status bar any more by default - I have to show it every time I start up, sometimes when using Windows Explorer, a 'preparing to install' box shows up briefly and then disappears with no apparent effect. Anyone got any ideas please ? Thanks Rick Tag: Xbox 360 and Media Center error Tag: 184219

    - Can't get Media Center to work after reinstallation When I click on the Media Center icon to watch or record TV I get an error message titled "ehshell.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services" Application has generated an exception that could not be handled. Process id+0x1c0 (448), thread id+0x1c8 (456) If I click OK to debug, it tells me that no debugger is available. I don't know what to do.

    - fax to PC Am having problem getting faxes to go directly to my PC. When my printer is on, they automatically print out - which I don't want. If the printer is off, that is when they will go to PC. Which means I keep having to turn printer on when I want to print something - many times a day. A real pain. How can I fix this?

    - Accidently disabled display adapter and can't see, safe mode wont Call me stupid but I was trying to find a way to change the resolution on a machine that was infected (I had just done a clean install of XP Home Edition and cleaned it). The resolution was 16 bit and the properties tab was greyed out so I could not add a new driver. In any event, I went in and disabled the VGA adapter thinking it would help. Low and behold, I reboot and find out that the monitor does not work. I change monitors and nothing is better. I try and reboot in safe mode and it is still dark. I change the VGA mode on bios but still no good results. How can I enable the VGA adapter without using my screen given that it is dark? Is there anything I can do??

    - How can you set up two TV signal configurations Hi, I have a normal TV aerial and a PayTV cable plugged into my PC. If I want to watch the FTA HD channels, I go into WMC and set the TV signal configuration for the DVB-T antenna settings. If I want to close that and watch my PayTV, I need to re-configure the TV Signal setup to my Cable settings. Is there a way that I can have both configurations saved to select from rather than always having to re-configure the TV Signal settings whenever I want to swap sources?

    - Vista MCE Needs Help or Restting I have installed all the updates that are available. Now when I play a file in my Video Library, I can't control it as expected. If it is paused, and another application has focus, it will resume in the background. When it is stopped and Done, it is shown as a thumbnail at the bottom of the screen with a stop button. MCE will automatically start the thumbnail if another application has focus. Giving focus back to MCE results in the thumbnail restarting from the beginning. How can I stop this behavour?

Everytime I try to connect my computer with Windows Media Center and my Xbox
360 it says " The xbox 360 was unable to prepare a connection to the windows
vista media center-based pc." Then I restart and try again and it still
doesn't work.

Thanks.
