• Media Center does not open on Windows 8.

  Recently built a new PC with Win 8 64-bit Pro and Media Center add-on bought.  However, whenever I click on the WMC icon, nothing happens. I installed a bunch of software on my machine, and some of it was a bit old stuff that I had to run in compatibility mode + install other updates (from / seller directly) to work to win 8. I have no doubt that if some of the older things may have pushed something - it seems, remind one of them wanting to install a .NET framework or something - but I don't know how to solve problems.

  I tried to turn the checkboxes of the WMC feature and restart but that did not help. I tried to start the PC in safe mode to see if that would help solve the problems, but he did not. My ideas on how to solve the problems and if there is anything I can do in addition to trying the Windows 8 update (ugh). Any ideas to help me? The update would be worth trying? I really don't want to spend a whole day trying to track this one down and a lot of software that I'm not sure that the uninstall is the culprit or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

• Only get a white screen with Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player

  My Center & Windows Media Player do not work. Only, I get a blank screen. I would like to reinstall, but I don't want to reinstall all Windows Vista Home Premium. How can I reinstall the only Media Center?

  Hello, Rob Davis,.

  Please check Application, system logs and Event Viewer Security for possible errors for the time that you tried to connect to Windows Media Center. Go to the computer and right click. Select manage. Then select Event Viewer, and then click Windows logs. In addition to this, you can check the newspapers of Media Center under the Application and Services logs. See if you have errors on Media Center.

  Then, update your most current video driver. If you have an OEM computer, go to the site such as Dell or Acer, etc. Download the latest for your computer, such as the graphics drivers or video drivers.

  Please answer back with an update and let us know if it helps.

• I can get 10 in my Hp Media Center m8020n PC windows have Vista

  I don't know what to do about 10 Windows for my HP Media Center m8020n. I've had this for about 8 years and he loves and does not wish to continue with it. Can I put Windows 10 here and update all software there need or do I have to buy a new PC

  Hello

  First of all I wouldn't do this on any machine that has more than 5 years. Secondly, please note: no free upgrade from Vista to Windows 10 you must buy Windows 10 license of Windows or 7/8 to get a free update of Windows 10. Money and time to devote to this would be painful.

  But if you want to try, please read the following article:

• Error: "Windows Media Center has stopped working. Windows is checking for a solution. "when tried to open it after installing the KB983590 update

  Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10

  Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.

  After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

  After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

• Media Center 2005 crashed I loaded Windows XP sp2. Installing XP cannot load explorer.exe and another dll file... Need help or information on how to request recovery of microsoft disk MC2005... Gateway has not.

  Help please... I have a gateway gt4024 designed with Media Center 2005. Recently, the system was not "acting accordingly so I tried to reload the OS." I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft. A link would be useful.

  BizzyBidnez,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  Here is a link to the replacement of media information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
  However, since the entrance to the bridge of your system, the product key may not work with a replacement non - OEM drive.  I'm surprised that the bridge was not able to provide a replacement drive.

• Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

  HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

  I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

  The bios on the PC has never been updated.

  The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

  The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

  　

  SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

  Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

  Hello

  The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

  If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

  But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

  I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

  Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

  KB3125574 is not available as via Windows Update.

  As to not install updates - more correct option, except KB3161608. The most important - important is always recommended. :)

  Do KB3020369 and KB3161608 yesterday made the difference today.  Audit brought into the important updates (security those more Windows Defender and malware tool;) I disabled the "recommended updates" option) in a little less than five minutes. Throughout, all done. Don't bother with KB3125574, I will keep this one in mind for any future reference. The other two (made in that order) are a must.
