  • The keyboard on the Windows Media Center screen does not appear when I hit the enter keyboard key!

    I searched through the internet trying to find a solution to this annoying problem: after change to enter the registry and the application of the value entered for showOskOnKeyboardEnter under MCE. PerUserSettings, I always have problems serious on-screen keyboard to appear by using the key "Enter" on the keyboard.  I managed only a couple of times to get the OSK to appear among the dozens of attempts, however, I am unable to recreate the actions - is absolutely not stable.  The only area that reacts to the 'Enter' key is looking for music.  All the fields in the section of Netflix and movies search fields are unresponsive.  Not even works tap triple function.  The only compatible and possible way to have the OSK appear is to double click on the field - that does not work given that the goal is to have an IR remote with the Media Center application interface.  The button 'OK' on the remote control is mapped to the Enter key (except if WMC has a key code value for the 'OK' button).  Help, please!

    I had this problem and it was very frustrating.  The posted solution did not work for me initially.  What I've discovered, is that you have closed Media center before editing the registry.  If you change it while it is open it does not pick up the change and then save settings (i.e. with showOskOnKeyboardEnter = 0) when you close.

    Then...
    1 close Media Center.
    3. Open Media Center.
    Should work now.

    Hello

    I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

    Method 1:

    Rebuild the Media Centre.

    Your index requires virtually no maintenance. However, if the index looking for files that you know problems must be in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index. This can take a long time to complete, so avoid this step unless you have given the index enough time (several hours) to correct the problems first. To rebuild the index:

    1. open indexing and search by clicking the Start button Options, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

    2. click on Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click on rebuild.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Method 2:

    Enable and disable the Media Center to enable Windows features turn on or off.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

    a. open them turn Windows features on or OFF.

    b. Locate and expand multimedia features.

    c. clear the check box for Windows media Center to turn off. (Check the Windows media Center to turn on)

    Note: Restart the computer after you enable and disable the media Center.

  • Windows Media Center learned remote control cable, cannot recognize the Windows Media Center remote control

    Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I rent a cable box so I can get some programs at the 3-digit level.  When I've set up my Windows Media Center (WMC), WMC learn successfully the cable box remote 1 - channel upward.  My problem is the next step and change the channel using the Windows Media Center remote control or keyboard.  My keyboard or the WMC remote will change the channel.

    I got Windows Media Center to re - learn the cable box remote control twice, which is always successful, but again once, when the time comes to use the Windows Media Center remote control or my keyboard to change the channel, the channel does not change.

    Could someone please help me with this?  Thank you in advance.

    Hey kansascitykid,

    If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box and Media Center is unable to change the channel, or it changes channels incorrectly, check the following:

    ·        The infrared diffuser is connected to your remote control receiver. If the infrared diffuser is not connected, Media Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

    ·        The infrared diffuser is well positioned at the front of the set - top box. If you are having trouble placing the IR blaster on the set - top box correctly, try to use a flashlight to locate the signal on the set - top box receiver.

    ·        IR control codes are configured correctly. If constantly changing channels, control IR codes may not have been configured correctly during the installation of TV signal. To reconfigure your TV signal, on the Windows Media Center start screen, highlight toTasks, clickSettings, click on TV, then clickSet up the TV Signal.

    • Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

  • Low Audio when using Windows Media Center

    Hello world.  I have a question.  When I play a movie DVD or CD or anything audio Windows Media Center on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition.  The Audio output is always half of what it is in other programs.

    For example.  When I play music with windows media player, I let my volume of the speaker to about 2.5.  If I play a DVD movie on my computer, I put the volume on the speakers until about 5 # in order to hear the movie.  Then when I return to windows media player volume is very strong (of course because I turned it upward).

    I checked all the audio properties (on the PC under windows), but I can't seem to get the audio level as well as the rest of the Windows Media Center computer?

    No one knows what it wrong here?

    Thank you

    Hi karozans,

    Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

    Make sure the appropriate selections are made in the DVD settings and codecs are correct for the file that is being read...

    This is a lot of information on Windows Media Center, and the second link is information about the codecs.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/codec.mspx

    There are many different CODECS out there and search online, using your favorite search engine like www.live.com to "VISTA CODEC PACKS" can find the codec that you need to improve the sound on the videos that are currently playing.  When the right codec also be determine some codec download from a reliable source as the codecs are not created by Microsoft and can be obtained by a third party.

    Please let us know if there is more need information on this issue, or if you do not download the correct codec for the system and the problem persists, please post this information in the forum as well.

    To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.

    I also tried equipping my number 1 access key. It works very well now, I just press 1 and the console opens. To close simply press ESC twice and press 1 once the UN-equip the ring.

  • On occasion, I sign in the windows media center, I receive one doesn't sstart message for picassoaddin. What is it?

    What is picassoaddin - opportunity, that I sign in the windows media center, I receive one doesn't sstart message for picassoaddin?

    It turns out that the problem could be due to some pre-installed software. The Picasso snap steals the focus from Media Center at the session of the Extender is launched and so instead of the remote control Media Center, he tries to control Picasso (which is not visible). So by pressing the green button should bring Media Center at the forefront and work around the problem.

    A more permanent solution is to remove the Picasso-> General-> program library Options-> edit program library and uncheck Picasso and the snap-snap front. Then restart the session of the Extender.
