    - 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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?

    - Widescreen Configuration Problem I installed the Hauppauge 1800 tuner card with no problem and ran my DirecTV HD signal from my DVR into the card's S-video input. It displays the live feed but a widescreen broadcast is displaying in 3/4 proportion, even though I've configured Media Center as widescreen. What am I doing wrong?

    - 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. Thanks in advance. Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182361

I am unable to get into safe mode or to the system recovery console, can someone please advise as to how to get to the safe mode...pressing F8 is not doing anything at all and I do not have the OS CD to get into the recovery console.

I don't want to buy the CPU if an OEM version does not permit the change. I read in another post that you can change the CPU with Vista OEM but don't know if a CPU change would invalidate my XP MCE 2005 license. The current motherboard & bios support the new CPU so I have no hardware problem. Since originally installing the O.S. I have installed 4 more hard drives and a second DVD drive.

    - 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. Thanks for any feedback here, -- Don Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182325

    - 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. My system specs include: Dell Dimension E520 model Dell DM061 Operating System: MicrosoftÂ® Windows VistaT Ultimate 32bit BIOS: Version 2.2.0 Dated 01/16/07 CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU E6600 @ 2.40GHz RAM: 2GB (2 x 1024gb) Non ECC 667 DDR2 HDD: 320GB Western Digital x 2 (RAID1) Optical Drives: PHILIPS DVD-ROM DROM6316 SATA2, Pioneer DVR-215 SATA2 Graphics: ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256mb TV Tuner: Dell oem AverMedia M779 PCIe PAL/SECAM/DVB-T Desktop TV Tuner (Video Capture) Audio: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Music Display: Dell 2407WFP Security Software: Trend Micro Internet Security Pro 2008 -- Vini Vedi Vista I came, I Saw, I use Vista Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182324

    - 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!

    - 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: Too large icon on the taskbar 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.

    - Xbox 360 extender not found Hi All - I am having a peculiar challenge setting up MCE with my 360. I am running 2 media centre pc's (one laptop and one desktop) on the same network as the xbox 360. The pc's are both wireless but the xbox is wired to a netgear rangemax router. Both pc's can see the xbox (with sharing on) and the pc's can see each other fine. The xbox was able to connect adn run media centre from the laptop (which is not what I wanted) but not the desktop. I have succesfully deleted the laptop from the xbox computer list, and switched it off, but the xbox will now not recognise the desktop on the network and hence Media center on the desktop cannot find nor add the extender. Any hints or suggestions much appreciated Brenden Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182222

    - downloadhost Everytime I try to download an update or install a program I get a notice saying "widows cannot open file MSND downloadhost windows needs to know what program created it" even when its a windows update. Then it says I can go on the web to a site to fix it, and I try that, but I end up with the same message. So I'm going in circles. Dell says they want to wipe the computer clean, but that sounds like a big headache to me. Is ther another way to fix it? Thanks Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182203

    - DVB-T (Freeview) Tuning in New Zealand My Vista MCE cannot find any digital channels when I try to tune it in. It finds analogue channels okay. Tuner card is hybrid Hauppauge HVR-1300. Card is Vista compatible. Also, other 3rd part software (DVBviewer) can find channel okay - so I think it is Vista issue. Is this a problem peculiar to NZ becuase our DVB_T service is HD (using MPEG-4)? I do have a h.264 codec in my system (via PowerDVD 7 Ultra). Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182202

    - Media Center missing components Help I installed the web guide software on my 64bit Vista PC, it work for about 20 minutes gave an error then once I rebooted Media Center could not find any recorded shows and reports missing or corrupt componants Windows Media Center component registration may have failed. I tried rerunning the setup within Media Center but eshell reports a failure in the application log. I have also tried doing a Restore point and that doesn't seem to fix it. So how do you reinstalled Media Center or register the missing componants, it would be nice if it was on the add remove list. Thanks Mike... Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182192

    - Unable to select signal ? Help ! I'm using 2 computers with exactly the same version of Vista Ultimate, one is a very old computer using for testing purpose and the other a new one. I've buy a pinnacle TV tuner stick Hybride. During the configuration on MediaCenter after having select country, the old pc ask for which signal I want tu use : Cable, Satellite or Antenna. I have to select Cable and It find all channels. On the new one it doesn't ask me and select Antenna (analog) by default so I get only 3 channels.... How can I force asking me the signal... I've lost some hours to restart the configuration, but always the same... Thanks for the help -- Gaelle Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182186

    - Windows Backup Hello. I need to backup some important data on a Windows XP machine. The data will be in use (open) during the backup. Is windows backup capable of backing up data that is in use without corrupting it? I guess I'm asking if it has some sort of open file technology. I don't want to perform a backup on open data and find that the data gets corrupted. Thanks in advance! Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182184

    - Vista Media Center Schedule not working I have a new Vista PC. The Hauppaugge card works fine for view live TV. I can change channels and all seems fine. But, I cannot get the scheduled recording to work. I use the guide and find somthing to record and set it up to record. It looks like it should work. But, the scheduled recording just does not do anything. There is no error. I have tried this with Media Center running, I have tried it with Media Center not running. It seems that the schedule is not doing anyting at all. Any ideas on how to make the schedule work? Thanks, JC Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182182

    - Group Policy security and system shut down! Hello, My hard drive failed yesterday. I got a message on the startup screen saying to back it up and replace it. I purchased a new drive and I backed up the old one today. I used Acronis True Image. I got some errors during backup and I had to reset the Admin and user passwords because Windows did not recognize the old passwords. I used a program called "Offline NT Password & Registry Editor". When going into users accounts to create new passwords for Admin and users I get a shutdown error, the error window states; ================================== "This shutdown was initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. System will shut down in 60 secs. C:\WINDOWSystem32\Isses.exe terminated unexpectedly..." "with code -1073741819" (on most instances) "with code -1 (on other instances)" ===================================== When I try to reset the passwords through Local policies I receive a little massage, "The settings that apply to this machine could not be determined. The error returned when trying to receive these settings from the local security policy database (%windir%\security\database\secedit.sdb) was: The parameter is incorrect. All local security settings will be displayed, but no indication will be given as to whether or not a give security setting is defined by Group Policy. Any local security settings modified through this user Interface may subsequently be overwritten by domain -level policies." Can this be fixed? Any help is greatly appreciated Thank you. P.S. I am running Windows Media Center 2005. Tag: Too large icon on the taskbar Tag: 182173
