• Media Center crashes when configuring the TV signal

  I bought a new computer there with Windows 8 (64-bit) a month and set at level to Pro pack for the Media Center. I use a TV HDHomerun tuner that is connected to the network that worked fine on my old machine of Windows 7 and Windows 8 new machine until this week.  I noticed that a show than I had expected did not record.  I found that Media Center did not find a signal.  When I started the process of signal TV Media Center froze.  After several trials, Media Center not continue and set up a TV signal.  I get a popup that says that Media Center has stopped working and closes.  I also received an error in Media Center indicating that Media Center has encountered a serious problem.

  I searched for this resolution and have not found one. I tried a clean boot and received the same error and crash.  I uninstalled Media Center, then reinstalled, which did not work. I also deleted files of database to let Media Center rebuild, which also did not work.  SFC \scannow comes out with no error.
  Can someone help me please?  I feel I lost the $100 for the Media Center of the Pro Pack.  All of this worked smoothly in Windows 7.  That's happened?

  If I can add my two cents to this, even if the thread is a year old, I have two tuners TV, one by HP and DIAMOND.  The DIAMOND is new and has not been tested with Win7, but the HP tuner worked fine with Windows 7, and it worked with Windows 8.1... once.  Now, whenever I try to use Windows Media Center to put in place my TV signal or watching television, the receiver service crashes, restarts and continues to hang until I have leave any action calls this service.

  The Compatibility Center said that the DIAMOND tuner is compatible with Win8.1, but not the HP tuner.  However, the computer is a HP.

  EDIT: Look in the event viewer and all ehRecvr.exe accidents are related to C:/Windows/SYSTEM32/vorbis.acm.  This file is associated with FL Studio.  I renamed the file vorbis.acm.bak and tried again, and made me the error.

• Can I upgrade the RAM on my computer Windows XP Media Center?

  I have a computer that is running Windows XP Media Center. He has two cards Kingston 1 G ram and 2 empty slots. I want to add memory and I was wondering if I can add two 4G memory cards in the 2 blanks at a higher rate of megaHZ? Card mother Intel's core 2 duo @2.13 MHz.

  original title: add more memory?

  There is so much wrong with your question.

  1. your version of Windows (XP Media Center edition) can support a maximum of 4 GB of RAM (actually, he won't be able to use all the 4 GB, but that's another story).

  2. your mother unidentified may or may not be able to support 1 G in each of the two slots and 4 G each other 2 locations.

  3. your mother unidentified may or may not tolerate speeds of memory do not match.  If this is the case, the memory will operate at the slower speed of the module.

  If you decide to switch to an operating system to 64-bit (which could use 8 - or 10 - GB of RAM), either look for your motherboard specifications or use the memory Advisor Crucial tool http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx or Kingston or another provider memory to determine what your system can take in charge.

  Hello

  You won't get HDTV without a Digital Cable Ready tuner and a cable card. How about you
  will have need a HDCP compatible graphics card and a TV/monitor taking support this
  as well.
  The kit Hauppage offers is substantially the same as I told you.

  clear QAM availability varies according to the cable company. most begin to encrypt
  everything.

  > The same can be done through Windows Media Center, by clicking the video image by clicking on Zoom. But in MCE when you have a cable box, you will also need an approved Microsoft IR blaster to control the cable box. If you n? not have this part, you will get the IR hardware not found error. The HVR - 950 Q does not come with this, but if you really want to use Media Center, you can buy a kit from our online store here http://store.hauppauge.com/hardware2.asp?product=mce_remote remote"

• Live365 program plays more stations in Windows Media Center (the two MCE 2005 on XP and Vista Home Premium version).

  When you select any Live365 station, just have a beep. Three different computers with the same problem (XP and Vista). However, all 3 have IE8 with the same default security settings. I also contacted Live365 support for the resolution and waiting for their response. Live365 is working on other media, just not Windows Media Center PC or extender readers.

  Thought I'd share some good news, instead of a few problems.

  A month ago, Live 365 in Windows Media Center started working again on all my computers (Vista and XP). Don't know if it's a windows update, or an update of the app live365. But whatever the fix was, thank YOU!

• Windows XP (HP Media Center PC) immediately "OFF... slaughter." "at startup

  I own a HP Pavilion a1240n running Windows XP Media Center Edition.  From two days ago, I can't connect to my computer.

  Symptoms:

  Turn on the computer.  It starts normally and gets to the "Log to Windows" window  (The user name is HP_Administrator we never took the trouble to implement specific user accounts.)  I hit "Enter" as we do not have a password on our computer.

  The screen flashes and the box "loading your personal settings...". "appears for about 1/2 of a second.  Our wallpaper opens.  Then, immediately, "Off record" box... "is displayed.  A second later, I am back to the "Journal of Windows" window.

  Someone suggested that they think that my computer is infected with the Win32/Cryptor virus and I should get my AV software and run it.  Unfortunately, I can't, because I can't even log.

  When I try to add a channel with a number in the 400s to my list of TV channels, I get a message error "Invalid Channel number - enter a channel between 1 and 158 number."  What is a limitation of Windows Media Center or my HDTV card (which is a Combo NTSC/ATSC Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600)?

  If a limitation of Windows Media Center, is there a version that accesses higher number channels?  I could not find a version number for Windows Media Center when I checked the properties.  I am running Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with Service Pack 2.

• Sound system/low cut volume except if Windows Media Center is running...

  Can't find anything on this...

  If I use my W7 computer without running library of system sounds are very very quiet and trimmed the first half of any given system sound is inaudible.  If I load the library of system sounds sing in all their glory. If I close the media center units problem returns.

  It is not a big deal, but if anyone knows a simple solution that would be fabulous.  I like WMC, but I found the XP version and the version of W7 very bug (I'll put the other bugs for another post)
