• get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center

  Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

  Try this for me:

  Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

  If this does not work, try this:

  1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

  2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

  4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

  5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

  6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

  7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

• Adding files in Media Center gives the error "a necessary component of the WMC did not start successfully. Restart WMC. "

  I try to add files to WMC, but when I do a box arrives with "a necessary component of the WMC did not start successfully. Restart WMC"I did this several times, but the same message keeps coming back. Can anyone help?

  I think that your account has administrative privileges.
  You can create another user with administrator privileges and then recheck the problem there.

• Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

  Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

  I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
  "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

  My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

  I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

  I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

  I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

  The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

  On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  Any help would be really appreciated!

• Internet TV is not available in Windows Media Center

  I upgraded four machines to Windows 7. Two of them were clean installs and Netflix and Internet TV options are available. However, two of the machines made an upgrade on the spot and Netflix and Internet TV options are not available. Is there an update available so that I can update Windows Media Center on these machines? If this is not the case, how can I get that option?

  Thank you
  Bill

  The following has worked for me in the Canada:

  Open Control Panel, select clock, language and region

  Select the location to change and change in the United States

  Select the administration tab and change settings English (United States) system locale and save changes

  then delete the contents of the c:\programdata\ehome folder (I moved content in a folder temporary everything first just in case...)

  Launch Media Center, download updates, shut it down after receiving notification of download completed (if your not sure its finished, you can check the Media Center icon in the notification bar, if it has an arrow toward the low point over-buried on it, its download yet)

  restart the Media Center and select TV and Internet TV so the Guide should be there.

  Note some of the programming of a regional protection based on the ip address, so some channels will be always blocked

  I've read other messages indicating Internet TV once was performed for the first time, you can change the settings of the control panel you actual location, but I did not and does not check what I prefer to let my settings as USA because I think faster using the SAE measures instead of the metric.

  All this happened after I tried to install a new update Apple iTunes. He kept saying that he could not install...

  If you have not had luck in iTunes (https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_for_windows?view=discussions#/?tagSet=1234) forum, uninstall and reinstall iTunes as described below:

  To perform a "clean" iTunes installation uses this technique proposed, from Support of Apple HT1926 article.  (If you are using Vista, see THIS instead).

  Go to control panel > Add/Remove programs
  Remove these applications in the following order (do not restart your computer if you are prompted during this process):

  1 iTunes
  2. Apple Software Update
  3. Apple Mobile Device Support
  4 Hello
  5 Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

  6. iPod for Windows (this may or may not exist, be it, it is not necessary, then we can remove it)

  7. iPod Updater

  8 QuickTime

  Open my computer > C: > Program Files
  Delete these files (if present)
  1 iPod
  2 iTunes
  3 QuickTime

  Follow these steps if the message "cannot delete iPodService.exe: it is used by another person or program" appears when you try to delete the folder of the iPod.

  1. Make sure that you have iTunes and iPod Update utility are not open.
  2. Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
  3. Select Start Task Manager.
  4. Click the processes tab.
  5. Locate the iPodService.exe in the list.
  6. IPodService.exe-click and choose end process.
  7. Quit Task Manager.

  Empty your temp directory:
  Open my computer > C: > Documents & Settings > username > Local Settings and delete the contents of the folder called "Temp".

  If you don't see the local settings, enable hidden files:
  Tools > Folder Options > view tab
  Select Show Hidden Files & folder, and then click OK

  Once this file is empty, restart the computer

  NOTE: If you have trouble uninstalling applications, or if you have a problem, reinstall iTunes because the installer complains that it can not uninstall the current version of iTunes, see the 'Installation issues' section below.

  Download & reinstall iTunes from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  Installation problems

  There are several tools to deal with problems installing or uninstalling applications.  If you have these problems, the following should help.  Before using one of these tools (including #3), you must create a restore point from the system first (or back up the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT).  See http://windowsxp.mvps.org/registry.htm a complete disk image would be safer if you have this ability.

  1 Microsoft has a program install and the resolution of the problems of the uninstalling which is supposed to "work better" and be "safer" to use the old Install Cleanup Utility (3 below).

  2. free Revo Uninstaller.  You can also download a trial version of uninstaller Revo's ' Pro', which has a few more aggressive cleaning options, but this should not be necessary.

  3 Microsoft Windows Install Cleanup Utility.  Although this tool has been the preferred tool to deal with the problems of Windows Installer, Microsoft removed from Microsoft download servers because it seems sometimes deleted more than he was supposed to (I believe this was linked to Office uninstall).  You can still get Windows Installer Cleanup here--> http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html utility
