• Error code 2103 in Media Center

  I was video streaming from Netflix using Windows Media Center with no problems since this device has been made available.  Until yesterday.  I watched a movie in the afternoon with no problems.  Since yesterday, whenever I try to start a movie, I get this error message:

  We cannot find the movie player

  ErrorCode: 2103

  I already tried to solve this problem in uninstalling and reinstalling then Microsoft Silverlight, the Netflix in Media Center module and even the most recent Cumulative Update for Windows Media Center, all without success.

  Thank you for your help, the problem has been resolved.  Much apprecited.

• Media Center to demand registration fails intermittently

  configuration:
  Vista Home premium 64-bit
  950 Hauppauge usb tv tuner, an ATSC signal

  Scheduled recordings work fine for a few days and then stop working. First sign of distress is a notification by the State which media center units failed to record a scheduled recording. Then if I open media center and you try to watch live tv, it is said that the tv tuner is disconnected. Shows Device Manager the device is connected and turned on. I can only restore functionality by disconnecting the tuner tv by the USB port, restart windows, and then plug the device back in. Things work fine again for a few days, but the problem is recurring. I tested the device on all USB ports available (rear, before and on the powered usb hub). I have updated all drivers for the tuner tv, graphics, sound, windows updates, etc.

  Problems and solutions does not have this problem. The ususally computer restarts, presumably after a blue screen, because I can tell that the computer has been restarted. The records are scheduled to start so I'm not here to actually see it happen.

  How can I determine the cause of these failures?

  Hi spm2004

  First check a updated driver for tuner card and also install all the updated optional equipment.

  Since you are facing so many problems with the system, you can try to run a SFC (System File Checker) scan to check if a system file is missing or damaged and check what is happening.

  (1) close all open windows.

  2) click on the Start, click on ' all programs"and click on"Accessories ". " "»»

  (3) with the button "command prompt" and click on ""run as Administrator ". "

  (4) in the window "Administrator: command prompt", type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  (5) restart the computer after completing the analysis of the SFC.

  For more information, you can consult the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

• Media center immediately crashes when I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.  I try to add the extender for the Xbox 360 to Windows Media Center. When I go to Media Center tasks and add an Extender, Media Center crashes immediately after I enter my Xbox console 8-digit code and click Next.  I have disabled the firewall of the router and firewall windows without success.  Restart the computer and the Xbox has not helped either.  Any suggestions that I can not yet put in place the Extender?

  Thank you.

  Hi Eric,.

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

  According to the description of the problem, it seems that you have trouble connecting Xbox 360 extender for Windows Media Center.

  I will certainly help you with this issue.

  Here are some methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

  Method 1: Disable the antivirus software and make sure.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

  Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  Method 2: Clear the Xbox 360 console system cache and check.
