• Cannot download Windows Media Center/12 for Windows 7 Professional

  I tried to download the Media Center/player for Windows 7 Professional N.  I have SP1 then thought that I would be able to download this easy.  I tried several times with the answers KB download that came when I searched, but I get a message that it is not applicable to my computer (a Dell Dimension 5000 - new to me at the end of last year).

  I also looked into Progams & features in the Control Panel, but I don't have an option for media.

  Can someone help me please?

  Thank you very much.

• Download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition?

  I want to download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition. I can do or do I have to install Windows XP Media Center Edition? If I install XP Media Center Edition can just move from Windows XP Home Edition?
  Thank you!

  There is no such thing as a download of MCE to XP Pro or home.

  You may be able to find an upgrade, if you search the Web.

  Operating system upgrades are not a good way to go, always better to have the full version.

  Since MCE is an older version, you can find now a lot cheaper than it used to be.

  Hi Alain,

  Windows Media Center is a feature that is inside Windows and you could not download it separately. If your edition of Windows comes with media center, then you might find it in the menu start otherwise, you must run edition as Windows Media Center, included in this document, which is Windows XP Media Edition.

  However, you might consider getting a Windows 7 that is running Windows Media Center.

• help on the re - download windows media center!

  When I got my PC he had Media Center but it just stopped working...

  Can you help me. my PC was just recovered form a bad virus because he moved to my files on my backup drive. So my media center does not work and I can't find any web link that will allow me to re - download.

  Microsoft you can send me a file if you can?

  Unless you use one of the versions of Windows 7 K/N/KN, WMC is a basic Windows component that is already built-in.  This is why there is no download necessary.

  Instead, you do these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMC & will actually provide a new installation of WMC]

  14.1 discharge WMC - Panel, programs and features, Windows features turn on [left] on or off, media features, clear box Windows Media Center, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  14.2 recharge WMC - Control Panel, programs and features, [left] turn features on or off, Windows multimedia functions, set the Windows Media Center checkbox, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  Click Finish.

  This should result in a Media Center shortcut on the desktop. Double-click this shortcut to open Media Center.

  Open Control Panel / programs and features.

  In the left menu, select Windows turn features on or off.

  As soon as the list fills, extend the functionality of media and place a check in the element of Windows Media Center .

  Click OK and it will be installed.

• Cannot get Windows Media Center to learn the remote control codes decoder

  I'm trying to put in place my TV card in Windows Media Center in Windows 7.  The card is a Hauppauge HVR 2250, which has a blaster/IR receiver.

  The configuration of the set-top box tells me to point the remote at the receiver and "hold" the number 0.  The problem is that the remote control supplied with the set-top box (Motorola RG2400) is not constantly emits the same IR signal when I press and hold the button - signal IR lasts only about a year and a half seconds before turning off. This does not seem to be sufficiently long for Windows Media Center and never detects the signal.

  Can I make it work?

  Hello

  Looks like the remote is faulty I recommend you do replace from the cable/satellite for a replacement/repair provider.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

• Cannot get Windows Media Center to recognize remote STB

  I have a desktop Gateway computer with an AMD Phenom 8400 Triple Core processor.  He is 1 year old and runs Windows Vista.  The Windows Media Center seems to work perfectly.   Recently, I decided to add the TV option to the computer since the last of my children has left and I got a set-top box (STB) available.  I have Verizon FiOS service and I made connections that were provided in the installation of the gateway documentation.  I know it is getting signal through because when I try the manual set up the process, I get a small square window of 2 inches with channel 3 in it.  I can change this channel with my set-top box remote to all channels that are available from my service.  When I continue on in the whole of the process I get to a point where it asks me to point my remote decoder and press on and press and hold the '0' button so Media Center can learn the codes (and, I presume, activate the remote control centre for use).  It is never past "0".  I have new batteries in the tuner and I tested it on another box, so I know it works.

  I tried put automation in place two option first and that didn't work either--that's why I went to the manual set up.

  As I said above, the Media Center works great with all other options and the MSNBC documentary line CD/DVD playback, etc..  It's just the TV live set up for the Media Center tuner that gives me a royal pain.

  I hope someone can help me to finish the game.  Thank you, John.

  Looks like you are trying to change your set-top box with a remote control channels of Media Center.  To use Media Center with a set-top-box, you would need a remote control Media Center and one cable IR and remote sensor.

  Please see the following diagram: Media Center and your set-top box

  During the implementation of process Media Center application that aim you the decoder at the remote sensor and press the 0 key.  The remote sensor at the moment will record the signal from the remote control so that it can be reproduced for the decoder when the Media Center remote control.

• Windows Media Center - not the initial download put in place data for guide "unable to connect to the remote server.

  Hello

  Looking for help on this one...

  I have a new install of windows 7 pro running, and I was not able to get the guide to download Windows Media Center.   I am up-to-date with all the updates and SP1 version running.   My video card drivers are also updated.

  I use HDHOMERUN PRIME equipment with cablecard and who receives a TV signal very well and I am able to view it in WMC.    I use Verizon FIOS and my zip code is 07452.    Before this computer, I ran the cablecard even with a ceton infinitv and had no problem Guide at all.

  It's just that I can't download the guide data.  Its just totally blank.   I receive the channels and view them, but there is NO data.      Whenever I run the TV setup the same question comes up.  Cannot download the initial configuration data due to the error of previous download.   As far as I know, there is NO error message when Windows installed... actually... I reinstalled windows completely and this has not solved the problem.    I tried to manually download the guide which did not help.   It... nothing happened when I turned 'on' and 'off' WMC in Control Panel to reinstall.  I even tried explore the ehome folder and remove the file db... but nothing is helping.

  I can't find a file mcupdate.exe light on my system - don't know if this is relevant.   When I looked in the event viewer here are some of the error messages that I see.

  Impossible to extract the EpgLineups (error: unable to connect to the remote server)
  Impossible to extract the MCEClientUX (error: unable to connect to the remote server)

  I'm starting to think it's a matter of windows.   Anyone have any ideas?
