I have disabled messenger, but Media Center is still trying to find it, even though I have turned it off in Media Center as per this post: if you don't use it, you can go into Settings in Media Center (Settings, Messenger and Caller ID) and uncheck the Messenger option.

    - LIP on MCE 2005 I own a copy of Windows MCE that has been pestering me for quite some time. I live in Europe, and apparently my MCE copy is not in the language it appears to be. Rather it is an English copy with with a special language pack installed on top of it. The Home and Premium editions are not assembled this way. Now, the problem is that my native language is only offered as a LIP and I can't get it to install on this OS because English is not the parent language for the LIP. Is there any workaround for me, or will the frustration eventually drive me bald? JJ Tag: installing updates Tag: 182490

    - Can't change aspect ratio in Media Center Media Center won't use all the space on my new wide-screen (22") monitor. There's 1.5 inches of unused screen on either side of the image when I'm watching video in Media Center. So if I'm watching something in letterbox, rather than filling or nearly filling my screen, it's a letterbox within a square (within a wide screen). To be clear, the welcome page in Media Center does fill the screen. It's just the TV or DVD image that won't. When I try to adjust display properties in MC (settings>general>appearance), I get sent to a non-interactive Web page with instructions that show how it should work, but doesn't for me. When I re-run Media Center, the wizard takes me through TV signal and Internet setup and that's ALL. No display settings. I tried adjusting the display in Media Player with tech support, but that had no effect. The computer is an HP MCE M270N purchased in 2003. The monitor is an HPw2207. I hope someone can help me figure this out? I've spent several hours with HP tech support, so it'll have to be someone extra smart. Thank you! Tag: installing updates Tag: 182480

    - More than 4 Extenders I just purchased an HP MediaSmart TV (great price on Amazon.com). It is going to replace a tv that I have with an extender on it already (Xbox 360). I know that you are limited to 4 extenders. My question is 2 parts. Is that concurrent or is that registered? If you decide to upgrade one to a different model, how do you delete the old one? And is there a way around this limit of 4? Thanks. Art Nadelman Tag: installing updates Tag: 182436

    - Export settings I have just gotten a new computer and I was wondering if there was a way to export all of my settings (or even just a few) from my old computer so that I don't have to reprogram media center on my new computer with all of the series and settings that I set up on my old computer. I know there is no export function (at least I haven't found one) but if there is a file that I might be able to copy over. Both computers are windows vista running media center, the only difference is that the old is Home Premium and the new is Ultimate which I don't think should make any difference in results. thanks in advance. guitardude Tag: installing updates Tag: 182410

    - can I remove Media Center from Windows XP Media Center Edition? I have XP MCE 2005, but don't use the Media Center. It has always had glitches and was difficult to use, and even to close down. (my cursor disappears, and is difficult to regain) In addition, it conflicts with some of my hardware/software. Even more, I can't get Media Center not to start up and and interfere when I'm doing things it is capable of doing. In short, it won't shut up, and I hate it with all my heart and soul. I understand that MCE is XP Pro with Media Center injected- can I get rid of media center, and retain XP Pro? Barring that, if I buy a copy of just plain XP Pro, without the key, can I use my XP MCE key with it to install, or do I have to also get a new key? Would using the original key create problems with updates? Or, lastly, is there a way to reinstall my own original XP MCE without installing media center (is it optional)? Please be gentle- I'm a nubie. -- BFB Tag: installing updates Tag: 182394

    - SPDIF-in / -out Hi there, I'm using Vista MC. My problem is that my computer does have SPDIF-out onboard but not SPDIF-in. Thus, I should obtain a 3rd party sound card with both SPDIF-in and out right? What sound card and model should I get for just this purpose ? At the moment when I use the Audio SPDIF-out from my Satelite Decoder and connect directly to my SPDIF-in on my Logitech Sound System and so the audio is out of sync with my video feed (video trailing behind) thats flowing through the computer TV card first then to my TV Panel. I'm guessing if I have the same flow for both audio and video, then it will be in sync. Thanks Cyberflake, South Africa Tag: installing updates Tag: 182386

    - VMC and Linksys Extenders - Network Performance Issue Hello, I have a Dell XPS420 system with 2 Linksys Media Center extenders, the DMA2100 and DMA2200. Both extenders connect via Wireless-N (Linksys WRT330N router) and the PC has a gigabit Intel Pro/1000 network card. On both units, whether I do it on the unit or at the PC, when I go into VMC and goto the Network Tune (or Performance) where it would show the network throughput in bar graph form, VMC crashes and sends an error report. Any ideas? Thanks, John Chapman Tag: installing updates Tag: 182366

    - VMC and Linksys Extenders - Pixelation Issue Hello, I have a Dell XPS420 system with 2 Linksys Media Center extenders, the DMA2100 and DMA2200. Both extenders connect via Wireless-N (Linksys WRT330N router) and the PC has a gigabit Intel Pro/1000 network card. The DMA2100 is hooked up to a standard def tv via S-Video and runs 99% of the time without issue. The DMA2200 is hooked up to an LCD HDTV via HDMI at 1080p. Almost everyday after about an hour or so of watching TV (SD or HD), the picture starts pixelating and many times the unit becomes unresponsive. I am sometimes able to skip back a bit and get it back on track, but many times I have to power down the unit and restart it in order to get it to work. It is not in an enclosed area and is not near anything that is not. Any ideas? Thanks, John Chapman Tag: installing updates Tag: 182365

    - VMC DVD Decoders Hello, I am having some issues getting the best decoder to work with Vista Media Center. I am using an ATI video card with Component output to the TV. I have used the VMCD utility to adjust which decoder I use: With the Microsoft Mpeg decoder, HDTV works fine, but DVD playback in VMC is jerky. With the Cyberlink PowerDVD decoder 7, the video is not as jerky but is still a little bit. Also, I cannot use the Cyberlink Audio decoder. With the audio decoder selected, on starting DVD playback VMC crashes and gives an error report. With the NVIDIA PureVideo decoder, the video playback is flawless. However, the sound is out of sync and the audio settings will not keep the SPDIF output I select. Everytime I open VMC it reverts back to 2-ch mode in the decoder control panel. All in all, if I could get the Microsoft decoder to playback DVDs without being jerky, that would be ideal. But if I must, another decoder would be fine. Any suggestions?

    - Help w/ windows media center crash and windows media player 11 cra Hi, I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit. I am trying to add my xbox 360 as an extender with no success because WMC keeps crashing. I have User Account Control and Windows Firewall turned off during the process. After entering the access code, I click some options and then click next and it should start connecting at that point. However, the loading circle appears and eventually WMC crashes and restarts. There's no error message. It just freeze and crashes. I decided to instead enable media sharing thru Windows Media Player 11. However, when I click on Media Sharing, the program freezes. No loading circle, just a frozen window. If I try to click on it, Windows beeps. There is no error message and I have to open task manager to End the program (which is not responding.) My guess is that these two problems are related. Any ideas on how to fix? I am sure it is not a firewall issue because I turned off the firewall and still encountered these errorrs.

    - Media Centre vs XP Pro Hi, I just got a new Dell XPS 720 and need some assurance about what I got for an OS. My invoice says "Microsoft Windows XP Media Centre Edition 2005, English" I ran a dxdiag and I got "Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_qfe.070227-2300)" Windows splash screen at start-up just says XP (not Pro or MCE) General tab of System Folder says Media Centre Edition Version 2002 Service pack 2. I do have a Media Centre shortcut on my desk top and the version under the settings tab tells me its Edition 2005 Version 5.1.2715 (xpsp(wmbla).051215-1116) Update Rollup 2. So what's my operating system? Is it XP Pro or MCE? Why does the General tab in my System folder not say 2005? Should the splash screen have something more than just XP? Thanks for your help.

    - Media Center keeps closing due to a problem Hey gang, I have been getting messages, even without Media Center open, that the " Windows Media Update has stopped working ". When I choose to check online for a solution, I do not get any feedback. So I thought I would open Media Center, to see if I could see something there in the options that might clue me in. After opening Media Center and starting to navigate through it, it closes immediately, due to a problem. It does this as soon as I start clicking on things within Media Center, just won't stay open. I tried a google search, and about all I saw on repairing Media Center, was running sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt. I tried this, and it ran and did not find any damaged files. Any ideas, on what I might could do to repair this? I really don't use Media Center, but it is annoying me more than anything, that it does not work, at this point.

    - Vista Ultimate Edition - "Tuner Not Found" *** Originally Posted 14-Feb-2008 *** 3rd request For Assistance - Somebody must know of this problem? After some Windows updates run on my PC on the 14th Feb 2008, my Media Centre has failed with the message "Tuner Not Found". It's been 3 months without any working "solutions". I believe it is possible to do with the latest Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB947172) as I am finding this "Tuner Not Found" ... complaint everywhere since then. I d/loaded & installed this update on Thursday evening 14th Feb 2008 and have had this problem only since then. I am in the process of seeking a solution.... so far all I am finding is a lot of ill-informed guesswork from perhaps too well-meaning people. My PC is a Dell Dimension E-520 with Vista Ultimate 32 bit edition, and a Dell oem AverMedia M779 Hybrid tuner card. See full hardware specs below. It has been running fine since July 07, apart from some localised issues with the Guide which have been resolved since December. So far, and without success, I have: 1) Checked physical connection of the tuner card through to the TV antennae point. Everything is fine and working. Device Manager indicates everything is okay. 2) Restore failed, as previous restore point had been corrupted and not fixed. 3) Un-installed the last relevant update (Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista KB947172)... no change. 4) Turned-off firewall, re-installed update, switched firewall back on.... no change. 5) Uninstalled AverMedia drivers then reinstalled. No change 6) And as a last resort I have now Edited registry using regedit (and after backup) and found this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\Service\Video\Tuners\{TunerID} Deleted the tuners subkeys. Checked Device Manager and removed the tv card drivers then restarted PC. Upon restarting reinstalled the tv card drivers. I took note of the tuners registered at the above key and made sure my tuners re-appeared under TunerID. Suggestions read in this and other forums include: 1) replace tuner card... pointless if working correctly (tested in another pc) 2) Backup, re-format hdd and re-install Vista do not answer the original problem. There should be no need for this after a simple Windows update - surely? Maybe I am wrong, but it occurs to me that if this latest Microsoft Cummulative update appeared to have generated a lot of cries for help globally, and it appears not directed at any particular hardware configuration, and specifically any brand of tuner card, then the problem must lie with the software including this latest update of changes made to the registry as a result of it..... I also have a brand new Dell Inspiron 1520 notebook pc with Vista Home Premium & a Dell oem USB tuner. I have not downloaded the update to this until I have fixed the Desktop PC and so far it continues to work correctly. At this point I do not wish to risk stuffing around with having 2 pcs not working correctly. In the meantime, I shall continue my search. as their must be an answer. Microsoft' s web-site has not yielded any glimmer of hope just yet. May be someone from Dell or the community has experienced this and knows what the fix is.

    - Digital signal Ok, so this is somewhat of a followup to a post I put up a week or so in regards to dual digital tuner cards. Assuming anyone who is buying a new tuner card basically from this point on is considering the migration to digital-only next February, is anyone considering anything special in regards to tuner cards? Here's a bit about my setup, and maybe those of you who have put some thought into this can toss me some ideas. I've got a Visio 37" LCD in my home office, which is hooked up to my VMC through VGA. I get cable direct from the wall, which is split off and goes to my VMC PC (single Analog tuner card) and also to my TV RF input so I can get around the single-program record/view limitation of a single tuner card. When I bypass the VMC box and go direct to my TV, I can pick up HD programming for all the network channels (NBC, ABC, FOX, CBS, etc). However, when I attempted to configure a borrowed digital tuner card (it was dual tuner analog/digital), it wasn't picking up any digital programming. This has me a bit concerned, in that I don't want to find myself SOL next February. I have a self-built VMC box, so it's not OEM to a manufacturer. I'm pretty flexible on what I can add, though I am somewhat PCI limited. Of course, I'd prefer to upgrade to a PCIe tuner rather than stick with PCI. Anyone got any thoughts on how I should proceed? Ideally I'd love to get HD and Digital, but I know that VMC has HD limitations. I do, however, want to continue to use the VMC guide and interface, and not a third-party app to watch tv. Thanks all!

    - unable to access safe mode Hi. An friend tried to install service pack 3 on an emachine. During install, the computer locked up and the only way to turn off the machine was by unplugging it. After reboot, the machine would not enter windows or windows safe mode. My question is... Is there a way to access safe mode or system restore through the windows install disk or a system disk.

    - dma My dma downgrades for my dvd/cd burner and the audio becomes jittery on playback of movie dvd's and audio cd's after about 6 months use. I have followed all suggestions on the ms knowledge base regarding reseting from pio to ultra dma and modifiying the registry. The last time, I ended up reinstsalling the operating system to solve the problem. Is this a bug in the operating system? Any suggestions; thanks in advance. hp 2.2 g, 500mb, mediacenter Tag: installing updates Tag: 182309

    - Is it possible to store the channel sequence ? Media Center PC using Vista Home Premium. Able to scan all available TV channels with the tuner, can download the EPG. I set the channels on my Media Center in the same sequence as I have them on my TV using Media Center settings. However, sometimes this sequence is lost. I still have all (or most) of the channels, I can always find them back by the tuner but they are in a different order. By consequence I occasionally record the wrong program. I have set the different channels back in the normal sequence a few times now, so my question is if it is not possible to store this sequence somewhere more permanently ? If I lost the sequence again, I could then always call back this saved order. thanks for your reply, regards, Tag: installing updates Tag: 182306

    - Time Warner channel line up change and MCE PCs in Ohio HI all, I've spoken to the morons and Time Warner to the point that I want to pull my hair out. After being transfered back and forth to a number of different tech support agents, it seems that no one over there has a clue what a Media Center Edition PC that is equipt with a TV Tuner card is. Can anyone in this groupd please help? Time warner recenlty changed their entire channel line up in my area. For example HBO use to be channel 201 and now it is 603 and channel 201 is now USA Network. I am able to watch the channels appropriately, but Media Center Guide's channels are still matching up with the old lineup. Guide still shows channel 201 as HBO while it should be USA, etc. I have tried to re-setup the Media Center Guide and re-download the line ups, but after the download says it finished successfully, I still get the exact incorrect lineup that I had before. Can anyone offer some help with this so that I don't have to manually edit like 200 some channels. Shouldn't I be able to download the correct infor for my area just like I did before Time Warner re-vamped the lineup? Thanks in Advance!!! Regards, Steve B. Tag: installing updates Tag: 182305

I think I need to clear things up. I can download from the automatic up
dates I just cant install them.
If I type in for example (kb901017) and do a search and find it the download
section I can download it and install it but not from the page that scans my
computer and it will tell me what I need to update

Microsoft Update recently updated their software, you must update the
'update' system on your computer.

It happens automatically if your computer is valuated as genuine Microsoft
Windows.

Papa bear, you keep saying "problem solved", but you don't tell us what
worked. Perhaps there are others around with the same problem who would
like to know what helped you.
