Cannot find Windows Media Center in the list of programs under windows 7 Professional
I can't find the windows media centre in my system windows 7 Professional.
I've tried going to Start, programs I have Media Player and a creation of dvd and other.
I also used the search tool.
I tried upgrading my original installation disk. It is a disaster which took several days to recover from.
I tried teak support but my product key has expired.
It can be installed but turned off. To activate it:
1. click on Start Orb (lower-left) and then Control Panel.
2. click on programs and features.
3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".
4. look for the entry called multimedia & and expland the sign +.
5. put a check mark in the check box for Windows Media Center.
5. click on OK.
I hope that your Windows Media Center should now appear.

With the help of Win 7 Home Prem SP1 64-bit.
Suddenly, Windows Media Center Download the latest TV programming guide. It worked fine, then all of a sudden it stopped. WMC wonder if I want to download the latest Guide Listing. I click on the download option, then he said: 'Guide lists have been downloaded successfully. Yet, when I go into my program Guide for all the different TV channels (everywhere in the air, no cable or satellite) it says "No data available" in other words not it offers for download, guide, said that he never actually makes the fact.
I don't know how or why this happened. I tried to download the application manually Guide by going to tasks-> settings-> TV etc and it does the same thing. It says "Guide Listings were downloaded successfully" but nothing.
How to fix?
PS my TV tuner and everything works fine. My internet connection is perfect. Am really confused.
Re-run the installation of the TV, try a different zip code and then switch back to your own if this does not work

Media Center or the player does not work
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Saturday things seem to change. I have no update on my end, but does not have the Media Play/Center and IE8 does not work properly. I don't see even the media player in the list of programs. I uninstalled the media player and the IE8 and reinstalled them, no luck. I went through the Event Viewer logs and don't see one thing that means nothing. Everything worked until Saturday. I can't think of a thing that happened Saturday outside the normal conditions of use. Any suggestions?

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.
(Show details)Is this Setup correct and complete?
o Yes, configure TV with these results
o no, show more options
________________
When I click on show details, it is said:screen B___
No TV Signal
If a TV signal should be present, check your signal for following tuners connections and try again:
Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
________________
There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) 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. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.
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.

I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows. Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)
Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center? The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.
I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)
Thank you

Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?
I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?
Hi nwills,
Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.
a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.
b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.
c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.
Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

"Fixed in this update
On a computer that is running Windows 7, you use Windows Media Center with a TV tuner analog Watch analog TV live. In this case, you receive messages from overlay low intermittent flow in Windows Media Center.
Windows Media Center monitor the inflow of over-the-air television. Without this follow-up, the bit rate very low fall when the analog input of the TV is low or does not have a signal. This causes a black screen or a static screen. With this follow-up, Windows Media Center displays a message of overlay to indicate a possible problem with the inflow during the analog input of the TV is low or does not have a signal.
However, the method that is used to monitor the inflow on analog signals is too sensitive. This may cause a false alarm of a low flow.
Note Several regions have switched over to digital broadcasting. There are hardware configurations in digital programs to convert the digital signal into an analog signal. "These configurations can include set-top boxes and digital-analog-switch-boxes".

Hello, Richard
Do you still have the same problem after performing the steps that was you on the list?
If so, you can try to run a SFC scan to make sure that the system files are intact: How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7
The only other option I can think is that the signal is in fact weak and therefore, the signal is lost.
Assuming that the signal strength is good and the System File Checker was not working, the next step that I have to recommend would be to back up your files on an external and reinstall Windows:
Install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows
