• When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

  I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

  screen A___
  WMC has discovered the following:
  Analog cable (1 Tuner)

  Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.

  Is this Setup correct and complete?

It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again.

  I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

  I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

  I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

• each download will in pdf file that opens in windows media center, I can not pull up or the play .i see the file but do not know how to access the media center.hope it makes sense.

  I have media library but do not know how to open files that is downloaded.

  Media Center does not open PDF files and PDF files have nothing to do with playback of music or videos.  Somehow, downloads do not create the appropriate file types.  Where are you these downloads?  Can you give me a website?  You want to download (images, videos, music, what)?  What version of Media Center do you use?  What version of Vista are you using?  How do you download files and if you use a browser, which is the name and version of the browser?

  I have problems to make internet TV, news and Netflix to connect to the internet when you use Windows Media Center.  They are all under the TV + movies option during the WMC.  I get an error saying [invalid Application - cannot start "" ""].  Not sure if this is because the internet connection that I use is not one that has a user name or password.  Not know how to configure it for this version of Windows.  I don't get this problem when you use Windows Media Center in Windows 7.
