    Original title: Media center download?

    I know it's possible to use the extension function to be able to watch media on your computer through your xbox to a TV, but where do you find the media center download so that you can start the whole process?

    In addition, I'm not interested by the upgrade to Windows 7, including the download site insists on the fact that I have to do, first of all.

    You need XP Media Center Edition, or you need to update. There is no download

  • Download Media Center Guide down service is?

    I was running 8.1 of Windows with Media Center pack and changed my tuner.  When I ran through the TV guide Setup program failed to download.

    I reinstalled the system, the problem persisted.  I reinstalled the system on Windows 7 and the problem persists.  I took the PC in a location separated with a separate ISP and confirm the same behavior as the guide fails to download.

    I've attached screenshots of the error

  • How to download media center for windows 8 version 6.2

    I'm very new to windows 8. I learned that I can not play my DVD unless I get a media center download.  I have windows 8 version 6.2, can someone help me? I am an old person and need simple instructions please.

    You can only add a Media Center in Windows 8 Pro. If you have Windows 8, you will need to download and install VLC or another player in order to play DVDs. Hope this helps and if you need any other help post and I'll be happy to help you.

    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/Archive/2005/11/08/490466.aspx

    Sometimes, Windows Media Center would not be able to download Guide data. In general, this happens for the following reasons:

    (a) your computer is not connected to the Internet or there is a problem with your Internet settings.

    (b) If your computer connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection, make sure that the connection is properly configured. For more information about setting up a dial-up connection for use in Windows Media Center, see solving problems with an Internet connection.

    (c) the Guide Server is not available or is temporarily out of service. If the Guide Setup was already complete, Windows Media Center will try to download it again daily.

    (d) the Guide service provider didn't Guide your location information.

  • How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?

    How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?  I had left it one day and now I don't know where he is. I went into the control panel and tried to 'Restore the Gadget', but he said it was not something to restore. I don't know how to get the file from one account to another, if that's what I'm supposed to do. I just want to know how to get the original back that came when I downloaded Media Center for the first time (that I tried to do it again. "But it did not help at all).

    Thank you.

    It's actually pretty easy if you are in the control panel for programs

  • If the Windows 8 Media Center key expires, or you can install it later on 31 January?

    I got the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for several systems, but I only installed Win 8 on 1 System.  I do not plan on installing Windows 8 Pro on other systems for several months or more.

    I got the keys to win 8 Media Center for all systems for which I bought a Windows 8 Pro upgrade. As I understand it, after the 31/01/13, I will not be able to use these Media Center keys for systems where I have not yet installed Win 8.  I strongly suspect that I can't.

    Please tell me I'm wrong and I can use the keys after 1/31 or can I download Media Center before 1/31 and install it after that I installed Win 8 on a system.

    Windows 8 key does not expire so you can install it at any time, but the free Media Center key expires. After 1/31, you will be able to buy the Media Center in the App store.

  • Can I use the Windows Media Center already purchased with newly installed Win 8 Pro?

    Hello, community.  I've never really had to ask any questions or messages on the community forums, but simply, I can't find the answer to this,

    So Microsoft was offerring winder 8 Pro at prices extremely low at launch.  Another bonus is that you could sign up for a free installation of Windows Media Center.  I have a TB tuner card in one of my places with two ports so I can watch TV or it is apparent from the file on my PC as a DVR and it worked perfectly.   However, recently, my c:\ died and I had to buy a new one and I got a new copy of Windows 8 Pro.  I was hoping that my account name Microsoft would allow me to re - download Media Center but it looks like I'll have to buy it now.

    Is it the way it is or am I missing something that could restore my MWC installation?

    Thanks in advance for any answers.

    Hello

    How did you install operating system Windows 8, which was previously an upgrade installation or custom?

    If you have Windows Media Center free of charge then you would have received a product key for the same thing, I recommend you to use the same product key to activate or add Windows Media center to a new installation of Windows 8 PRO.

    See the following Microsoft article.

  • Windows 7 Media Center will not download the new guide listings

    Hello

    I am really frustrated. WMC will not download the new guide listings and I tried all the patches that are supposed to be that I found in this forum. I also tried the system restore, which did not fix the problem. Obviously the problem is not affected by the restore program.

    I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

    I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?

    Thank you

  • Media Center does not download information Guide - error during the processing of the data

    Media Center displays an error saying I need to look at the log of update, but I can't find the update log. Try to download the Information Guide to hand does nothing.

    1. close Windows Media Center if it is open.

    2. go to Start , type services.msc in the search box and press ENTER.

    3. look for the following services and check the status field, if they are started and then right click on them and chose to Stop:

    ·         Windows Media Center Receiver Service

    ·         The Windows Media Center Scheduler service

    4 open tasks now CTRL and SHIFT Manager, and then press the ESC key.

    5. click on the processes tab, then click on Show processes from all users .

    6. in the list, click the name of the Image to sort by name, and then look for the following:

    ·         ehmsas.exe

    ·         ehrecvr.exe

    ·         ehsched.exe

    ·         Ehshell.exe

    ·         ehtray.exe

    ·         mcGlidHost.exe

    7. in the case of imperfections, right click and choose end process.

    8. go to start, in the search box, type the following path: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome

  • How to change for the Media Center guide download time?

    How can I change the Media Center program guide download time?  My computer comes out of hibernation to download data at 12:15 and to sit down again it idling (for several hours) until she was put into hibernation or stop.  There is a utility that will change in time, but time is always changed back to the time of 12: 00.  I guess MC changes the time of return.  Thanks in advance.
