    do you mean WiFi Direct or WiDi (wireless display)? If WiDi, you need Intel WiDi software installed on a compatible computer.

    What brand of TV and the exact model? If you have Windows Media Center on your computer, you should have Windows Media Player. You can have it disabled in programs, but you can reactivate.

    Hello Matthew,.

    You can check if Windows Media Center is disabled in Windows features. Access the following help to do the same.

    Turn on or off Windows features

    Once you are at the Windows features window, look for the characteristics of media. Expand the same and make sure that Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player have a checkmark on them.

    Do not respond if you have any other questions. Thank you.

  • Awakened from his sleep system update Windows Media Center

    Hello

    Directly to the question:

    I have a problem that of a regular windows media center update wake my computer from sleep every day.
    This update can be found as a scheduled task in Task Scheduler. The problem is, that it cannot be edited or deleted.

    If I try and edit the task by unchecking the choice of her "wake the computer to run this task", I get an error message:

    An error has occurred for task mcupdate_scheduled. Error message: support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

    If I try and I remove the task completely, I get a similar error message:

    Support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

    I already tried the following suggestions to resolve this problem:

    Fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\ cmd break-in.

    Removal of the C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR transaction logs

    These did not work.

    I guess Microsoft is not willing to pay my extra electricity bills? ;)

  • Error message Windows XP MCE in Media Center - error PID = 0 x 864 (2148), Thread id = 0x9e0 (2528) with ATI 650 Pro

    I have an ATI 650 pro tuner that I recently installed in my XP MCE SP3 edition. Whenever I try to access live TV, Radio or when I try to configure, I get this message-"EHShell.exe - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services! Application has generated an exception that could not be treated. Process ID = 0 x 864 (2148), Thread id = 0x9e0 (2528)
    Click OK to close the application. Click on CANCEL to debug the application. "If you press OK, I get the message repeated, and the program ends. If CANCEL is pushed, I get this message, "Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a JIT debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0 x 2 (2). Cordbg.exe! a 0 x 864 click try again to assign the process wait while attaching a debugger manually. Click Cancel to cancel the application of JIT debugging. "I can't find any information about this error on the site or the site of ATI/AMD. The Media Center included with the map works fine, but it's a pain having to go between the two, as the ATI version does not support or be able to play music files. I have the latest drivers and reinstalled the card many times. I have another computer with VISTA 64 bit - the card ran very well. I've upgraded to Windows 7, 64 bit - the card ran very well. I have it out and installed in the my son computer running XP MCE and encountered this error. According to ATI card should work fine.

    Nothing works. But at least now I know why. The CODECS provided by ATI are not compatible with XP MCE (they claim they do, but if they do not, they are not software of care-it). After searching around, I finally found some that worked, but only after I had installed a comprehensive system. After a bit, I guess the resgistry became a litte crowded and absolutely nothing can fix this. After you have reinstalled THREE TIMES, I finally found that working codecs -http://shark007.net/ (work with XP Vista CODECS) to FIRST USE CELLES-CI! If you crowd with too many CODECS NOTHING WORK SHORT OF A REINSTALLERA! (at least that I have found)

  • "Copying prohibited" error recorded and live TV on Media Center Win7

    Hello

     

    How long it will take for Microsoft to respond properly to this problem which have thousands and thousands of people.  There are forms and discussions all over the Internet with exactly the same problem.  After I installed Windows 7 and have absolutely no problems until a few weeks ago.  You can't watch the TV show whether direct or reading as a record course.  My problem started just after the updates have been made on 14 January, but I think it's just a coincidence.  It seems also occur when you watch the show on a HD channel.  At the same time if the program is available on a post not HD see you and be able to save it.  I have done everything recommended by the folks at Microsoft for seven different forms and the problem persists.  It's a software program problem or a problem of cable company that Microsoft has been unable or unwilling to respond to.  Just acknowledge the problem and stop putting your customers through the time wasting recommendations that will not fix the problem.  Throughout the Internet, it seems that each host Microsoft has a different answer and a recommendation for the same problem.  When things have been OK with everyone and suddenly the problem began, it is clear that he has nothing to do with the hardware, what a person uses or the supplier who provides the programming.  There is no need to ask as many questions that a person gives up trying to get an answer, when it becomes blatantly obvious, that this is not a personal matter.  Thank you and please send all your Media Center users troubled and frustrated at a place where we can finally get the answer correct and consistent.

     

    Thank you

  • 1290 error when you try to install Media Center extender for X 360 in Win7 Pro x 64

    OK, here's one for someone who knows Win7 Kernel internals.

    I am trying to connect my XBox 360 to my PC MC with Windows 7 Pro x 64. When I type the code 8 digits of the Xbox in Media Center, I get an error "Setup." Check the system error log, I found that it was a failure of the Media Extender service to start. Stop of is an error 1290, that says "service start failed because one or more services in the same process have a service SID inconsistent type parameter.» SID type has something to do with the core permissions or somesuch. WAY out of my League.
    The only thing that I could find online is that this error occurs sometimes in what concerns the time Service Windows, and that a registry edit to fix it. I tried a similar "fix" on this service registry entry, but it had no effect on this error, so I changed the return register.
    Someone has an idea of what I might try next? I did all the standard things that are recommended for problems of Media Extender, including uninstalling and reinstalling all components of media. Re-installation of Windows is NOT an option at this stage, this computer is used by all my children, and there would be a mutiny if he became unavailable for a long period of time (especially for as "lame" reason like this). I'd really listen to my media to my XBox. I hope that someone with some knowledge of the works of this service lies this question one day.
    Thanks for reading.
