    - Playing back recorded television programs. Whenever I record a television program that is longer than 1 hour in duration, it will not playback the entire program. Although it shows that the entire show has been recorded, playback stops after the first hour. How do I correct this problem? I am using Windows Media Center 2005 edition, my o/s is Windows XP.

    - Windows boot problem... Hello Pros: I am receiving an error message when my computer boots. The message is that D:\Setup.Exe can't be found. This was caused by a computer glitsch while attempting to install some software. D is a CD drive, thus the file is not available. What is your suggestion to overcome this problem at boot up time?

    - Suggested improvements for Media Center (Vista) I have recently built a Vista Home Premium system primarily for Media Center. I have ripped ~600 CD's and overall I am pretty happy with Media Center but there certainly is room for improvement. I would like to see is the ability to display artists from albums tagged as Soundtrack or Various Artists. For example if I go into Media Center and display my music by artist none of the artists from these CD's is displayed. But if I click on an artist and it brings up an option to display albums or songs if I select songs you can see songs that are from soundtracks for example (assuming that artist is on said album). I realize this could greatly expand the artist list if you have numerous compilation albums but it would make it easier to access this type of information. My biggest complaint is there is no way, that I can see, to manage playlists with Media Center. I would like to easily add tracks to playlists while they are playing in Media Center and that doesn't appear to be possible. Also it's not easy to delete tracks and their associated files while playing them in Media Center. I must drill down to the album and the track before I can delete the track. It would be nice if there was an easy way to delete the track or add it to a playlist while the track is playing. Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 184048

    - Copy, save and send functions are not working The above functions, "copy", "save" and "send" display "Windows has encountered a problem." Options are to retry and cancel. At the same time a window shows the graphic that the command is working, but none of these functions are really working. I have no idea what is wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    - Serveral Pre Purchase TV Turner Questions I am putting together a high end media center using Vista Home Premium. I am in tech support for a living, so it should be fairly straight forward, if I can identify the best components. I live in the USA. 1) Is there a URL to the optimum way to build a media center? 2) Is there a URL of reviews of tuner cards and/or remotes to help choose the best for Vista MCE? 3) As I understand it, there are 3 ways to get digital TV - Over The Air (OTA), cable, satellite (I am assuming, but don't really know, that both cable and satellite are digital or available in digital, which is a separate issue from HD) and IP (i.e. AT&T Uverse product). Does Media Center work with all, or not? I heard/read somewhere that it does not work with satellite...but to me, all of this would be a function of the TV Tuner, not Media Center. Is it a function of the TV tuner card? 4) On the TV Tuner cards themselves, I have gotten confused reading their descriptions. I want a 2 source tuner card, with those sources being any combination digital of OTA/cable/satellite so I have all bases covered (at this point, I donâ??t see any reason to have analog TV capable TV Tunerâ?¦advise if I am missing something). But TV tuners seem to come with one analog input and one digital, which makes no sense to me (since analog is going away). Please advise. 5) I understand in XP Media Center, an analog tuner was required. In vista Media Center, there is no such requirement, they may all be digital (and even HD). 6) About connecting the Media Center to the TVâ?¦ I have an HD Sharp Aqueous, so I would want to connect the Video via HDMI and the sound via some digital method to my AV receiver to pump 5.1 surround to the room. I had always assumed I would use a DVI to HDMI cable for the video connection, but now see that the TV tuner cards come with all types of connections (even HDMI). The computer itself only has a VGA, but I could add a video card that has HDMI or DVI or both. So, how do you get the video to HDMI and the Audio to the AV Receiver to generate 5.1 surround? Do I need a DVI/HDMI video card or is it all done through the TV Tuner card? 7) Some TV tuners come with remotes, which seems like a good idea. Do you get the best remote possible buy a pair like this, or is buying a standalone remote better? What remove works the best?

    - RECORDING QUESTION... I have noticed that many people record TV shows. They are then uploaded to the web or the newsgroups or even the bit torrent sites. The shows look great and what I have seen is that they are almost always maybe 99% of them Xvid or Dvix format. Does anyone know how this is done? Can this be done in Vista Media Center? I thought that VMCE only recorded in the dreaded dvr-ms format. If I am wrong can anyone show me how to record in Xvid or Dvix via VMCE. If it is not done via VMCE then I would still like to know how it is done and/or what program they are using. As usual thanks in advance...

    - blue background to desktop icons I have had this occur twice: Suddenly for no apparent reason a blue coloured box appears behind the names of the desktop icons and the letters turn to black. I have read all the solutions posted in the past - but none of them worked. Finally I right clicked on the desktop and went into the desktop tag. Then I went into the drop arrow for the colours - it was blue. I clicked on "other" and moved the arrow up to the very top, i.e. "no colour" and all the icons reverted to the previous display; i.e. no coloured box and white letters for the names of the respective sortcuts. Can anyone tell me why this happens? Have I come up with the correct solution (yes I went into visual ... and check the shadow box.) -- Regards rbc Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 184023

    - Does not Detect Cable Hello, I know this has been asked a dozen times before so I will point out the following: My driver is up to date, I do have an MPEG-1/2/4 support for analog and 2 for digital, and I have every codec known to man, I use CCCP. I am running a Toshiba Satlite U305-s107, dual core, Vista Home Premium, two gigs of ram, and my tuner card is AVer Media- AverTV Hubrid NanoExpress (HC82 ATSC). So, it says that I only have an antenna signal, but all I have is a cable plugged in. I have spent the past two hours messing around with WMC trying to get it to understand that I want it to go cable and it refuses to detect the cable connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated, you can have the digital last piece of my birthday cake if you can figure out why it is wonky! ^_^ Thanks in advance!

    - How do I use an AV Receiver with the Windows Media Center? G'day, I get my TV signal via an AV Receiver. I have this plugged into my PC's tuner card using the AV Receiver's RCA plugs (yellow, red, white). What options in the Windows Media Center do I use to get the TV working? If I choose Cable or Satellite, then I can see the picture in the small setup box but the setup fails as it says I need to connect the IR. There is no where to connect the IR to the AV Receiver. Does anyone know what needs to be done to get this working? (I'd also like to be able to connect my Camcorder using the RCA plugs method as well) Thanks in advance. Regards.

    - XMRadio in Vista Media Center....does not play I am really at my wit's end with this. I have Vista Ultimate and a Linksys DMA2200. I am unable to play the XMRadio link within Media Center. It loads properly but there is no activation of the Media Player toolbar at the botton. I have a second computer at work running the same setup and it works fine. I used to be able to have XM palying but I needed to reformat the HD and reinstall everything. Now I have reinstalled everything three times and there is no solution available. I have contacted Dell, Microsoft, XMRadio, and Linksys. It is like the keystone cops with fingers pointing all directions. There needs to be some type of control installed within Media Center and is not. The XMRadio link works great in Internet Explorer and also on the sidebar within a gadget. Does anybody have any thoughts on how to install the XMPlayer properly within Media Center? Thank you. Sal Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 183959

    - How do I ???? 1- Stop watching a folder and remove it from my Video Library? The Problem IS: I have added several network folders to my Video Library collection in Vista MCE (Home Premium), and when these network resources are NOT available, It takes VMCE an extreamly longtime to access the video library collection. I have already STOPPED watching these network folders and they no longer show as being watched, but the folders still appear in the Library collection, when those network resources ARE available. And when they are NOT available it just slows the process down of openning the library. 2- How do I remove folders from my Video Library Collection? without deleting them from my system... I have several folders that are NOT even being watched (they never were being watched)... For example: C:\my TV Shows\CSI, where the watched folder IS "CSI" and the shared resource IS "my TV Shows"... The extra folder that shows up IS "C:\" which contains only program video demos used for the programs on my computer. 3- How do I keep the "window" sizing? I open a window (any window) and resize it to my liking, but Vista doesn't remember the sizing change next time I open this window. It will always be at the original default size (small)... How can I force it to remember the sizing change? In Win XP it was simple just hold the <shift> key when closing the window and the new size was remembered until changed next... 4- How do I Force recorded TV shows to be saved with filenames such as "series Name, Episode Name, ch #, network name, etc... Under WinXP MCE I could use a program called "MCE 2005 Customizer" to do this, but it doesn't work under Vista and the program writer is nlonger supportting it... Once it is set, I don't need to change it... So, if there's a registry setting that could be changed to cause this, I will try it... It seems like all the info is there in the Mega Tag of the TV show because it shows the Series Name and Episode Name in the Vidoe clip thumbnail itself, but not as the filename.... my Thanks to anyone who responds...

I do not, and have never had Nero 7 installed. I have tried all the registry fixes suggested here and on the wider internet. I've tried the REGSVR32 SHMEDIA.DLL and agree with user Barb Bowman, that Windows reports the specified module cannot be found (just for kicks I tabbed through the entire system32 folder at the promt and it didn't auto suggest SHMEDIA.DLL.)

I've tried some hotfixes and patches that are on the Technet but they wouldn't install because they weren't applicatione to my system. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 183945

    - Xbox Not Connected in Media Center Extender I've had my xbox 360 linked to my computer for a while now and it's worked fine. I turned on media center through my 360 one day and it froze at the loading screen. I checked my media center extender settings on my computer and it says my xbox is not connected. Can't seem to figure out why. Is there another post someone can refer me to or help me troubleshoot what is keeping my xbox from connecting to my computer? I've Uninstalled MC extender along with .net framework 1.1 etc. Reinstalled, still can't connect to my xbox even when setting up a new connection. Extender is not blocked by my firewall and the proper ports have been opened. Just ran into this similar problem when I installed XP SP3 and had to manually intall a missing hotfix that was keeping media center extender from being installed and working properly. It was working fine then this happened. I've let media center sit at the loading screen on my xbox for about 15 min, still no luck. Not sure what to do...

    - Restoration I have tried several times to use the restoration process but it doesn't do it. The message I get is "Restoration Incomplete. Select another restore point and try again". But that doesn't work. And I thought by cleaning out all other restorations done in the past, it might help. But now I can't restore it any time before June 12th and that doesn't even work. Is there anyone out there who can help me? I sure would appreciate it. Thanks Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 183941

    - Null device driver Im having a problem installing Null device which is in the non-plug and play section of the device manager. I uninstalled it because it was not starting up, thinking i could just reboot and scan for new hardware but that doesnt seem to be working. I have spent 2 days searching for anyone else who has had a similiar problem or has a setup file for it or some way of reinstalling it but to no avail. I was kind of hoping someone might have some insight or help for me before I have to reinstall windows xp again. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you in advance to any replies.

    - Prefetch problems Hello, i am having a problem with the boot in my Prefetch folder named NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf. It is very slow starting up. When i delete this file it is faster but once it rewrites it and i restart again it is very slow. I have turned the boot prefetch off but then it is slow after boot. Is there anyway to fix a corrupt NTOSBOOT-B00DFAAD.pf file? i have set the value to 1 at the moment so only applications Prefetch.

    - Applications running on XP with SP3 Several applications including all of the Office 2003 suite do not leave memory when shutdown. Some applications will not restart until they are killed in the task manager. Firefox used to do it, but the latest version has stopped the problem. However Corel Paint Shop Pro X2 does, as does Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. IE has never done this in any of its iterations. This also happened in XP SP2 so upgrading to SP3 did not help. If I start and shutdown one of the offending apps a number of times all of the copies remain in memory and really slow things down. This happened after a series of upgrades were carried out automatically, but i cannot determine which sequence of upgrades started the problem. Help I am going nuts trying to find this problem, it is not just to fix it now, this is a challenge and I will beat it! I hope....

ALSO one that says Error loading C:\windows\system 32\evhrdwkj.dll the specified module could not be found. This all started after a virus was downloaded to the computer. I've done away with the virus now but internet explorer and outlook will shut down, can I reinstall these two things from my Windows XP disk? And if so , how do I do it. -- Old & Retired Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 183914

    - Windows will not shutdown/restart I tried to post this on Mon, Jun 16, but haven't seen it listed. My apoligies if this does become double posted. I need help and I havenâ??t been able to find my problem discussed in Microsoftâ??s knowledge base or this forum. I cannot get my computer to reboot (restart) or shutdown without using the power button. Particulars of my computer are as follows: Dell Dimension XPS600, 3GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002, SP3. SP3 was installed on May 15, 2008. No other new software or drivers have knowingly been installed since installing SP3. Seven automatic updates (4 security updates for XP, 2 Malicious SW removal tool, and 1 security update for IE7) have been installed since SP3 installation. I donâ??t know when I started having this problem, but Iâ??ve been struggling with it for at least 3 weeks. We have had some power outages over the last few weeks and my UPS battery wouldnâ??t keep a charge (since been replaced), so the computer did have some hard power crashes. Anyway, when I try to restart/shutdown, the â??Shut Down Windowsâ?? window comes up, asking to restart, shutdown, etc. The previously active window also â??grays out.â?? After selecting restart or shutdown, the previously active window becomes active again and NO action is taken on my shutdown request. The same response happens whether I initiate the restart/shutdown using the Start Menu or using the Ctl-Alt-Del and requesting shutdown from the Windows Security window. I have now also confirmed that I cannot Logoff either â?? previously active window becomes active again and NO further action is taken on my shutdown request. The computer will, however, go into standby and hibernate. I noticed on this forum that someone had referenced a â??Windows XP Shutdown and Restart Troubleshootingâ?? guide (James Eshelmanâ??s web site). From that, I didnâ??t find anything that applied to my situation. However, I did try the restart/shutdown shortcuts within a CMD window that were recommended; same non-response as through the Shut Down Window. I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling SP3, or remaining on SP2. I have 3 other computers in the house; all Dell machines and on XP Pro (SP3). My XPS, however, is the only machine running Media Center Edition. I am not having this problem on any other machine, nor did I have the problem prior to SP3. I have also not contacted Dell as of yet. Can anyone help me with this problem? Tag: How do you change the file type of a song on windows media player Tag: 183890
