    - 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. After trying multiple clean XP installs I figured out that the problem was that it needs BOTH .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 installed for the driver to work correctly.

    - 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: display while watching recorded tv 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: display while watching recorded tv 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!

    - WMC on Vista but can't see video on my admin profile but other admin profile works fine I have attached an earlier thread (see below) regarding this problem but I have since discovered that although sometimes I can get WMC or Windows Media Player to work (view video not just hear audio) on my profile (set as Admin) it works fine when I switch to my wife's profile (also Admin) without rebooting, however if I switch back to my profile neither WMC nor WMP will show video but as soon as I go to her profile both work fine. Any help is greatly appreciated I just tried that and I still have the same problem. I did notice that I also can't view .wmv files in Windows Media Player. Could it be a codec issue?

    - 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: display while watching recorded tv Tag: 180782

    - 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: display while watching recorded tv Tag: 180668

    - Vista Ultimate Media Center Freezes Every Time Hi. I have Vista Ultimate Media Center connected to a Sony Vaio 200 Disc VGP-XL1B DVD Changer. When I go into view the DVD selection Media Center wants to bring in the discs. I let it and it will start and bring in a few and then freeze every single time. During this process it is downloading the DVD information and covers. This is frustrating because this is the sole purpose for this machine. This machine has 2GB of RAM with an AMD 64 3200+ Processor. I have over 200GB of free disK space and the DVD changer is connected via firewire. Media center has also locked up when importing music/MP3s. I have also installed SP1 to see if that has corrected my issue. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated because I have spent countless $$$ to setup this DVD library solution. Also Media center is the only thing that locks. I can do other things in the OS, but I always have to end the task to recover from the lockup. I hope that is enough information. Tag: display while watching recorded tv Tag: 180628

Hi guys, Well today i went out a bought a new pc game controller for my notebook, then i plug in the USB port, and play some games, then the computer froze up, so i restart it. Then when i start it up again, the Screen keep on fuzzing!. My silblings guess is the controller and that it had a virus, but im not sure, very thing else seems to work fine (still have all my files/settings/etc) but the screen it look as if its moving side ways back anf forth, real fast that i cant even seen anything. So is this a virus? or maybe a boot problem? Anyone know whats going on? (FYI, i live in Malaysia) Thanks in advance :) Tag: display while watching recorded tv Tag: 180618

    - can programs recorded using Media Center XP be played on other pc's I have Windows XP Media Center on my HP Computer. Also have DSL service provider. Also have a Linksys Wireless Router. I wish to play programs previously recorded on main computer using Media Center TV on other computers. Is there a way of playing the programs so that they can be transmitted using the Linksys Wireless Router? Or, are there other suggestions on how to play downloaded programs on other computers? The other computers do NOT have Media Center XP operating system. best, Aaron Tag: display while watching recorded tv Tag: 180611

    - Media Player I had problems with media player (Windows Vista) when I wasplaying a movie. There was no picture. Sound was okay. So, I deleted the media player and wanted to download a new version. I went to Microsoft site and downloaded wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe. During installation it gives me an error saying I have the new version on my machine which is not true. I cannot install it. I even searched for media player. None was found. Can anyone help me?

Normally, the bars and buttons time out after a while - and you can bring
them back by moving the mouse. I take it they don't come back when you move
the mouse now?

Can you see the mouse pointer moving - but no buttons & bars?

Do you have an additional remote for your monitor that has a zoom button?
