... has been registered. There was an unexpected failure (error code 771)

Upward until about a week ago Windows Media Center records very well. Suddenly, none of our TV shows will record. He gives us the same error message:... .to was not recorded. There was an unexpected failure (error code 771). I checked our storage and we have plenty of space for recordings since we generally remove them after watching. The computer will not be because of sleep mode that I was on the computer when the bubble of error is displayed. It will record only if I go into the Media Center and hit record on a show that is presented on the airwaves at the time.  It does not freeze during recording, just won't save.

Hi Adolpha,

1. don't you make changes before the show?

Try the following steps to set Windows Media Center Receiver Service local only and check the result.
a. Click Start, type services.msc and press to enter.
b. in the list of services, double-click "Windows Media Center Receiver Service"
c. change the startup type to automatic, and then click Start.
d. click the Log on tab, select "Local System account".
e. click ok to apply the changes and restart the computer.
f. check if the problem persists.

See the question "What should I do if Windows Media Center is unable to record a show?" in this article.
