• my windows 7 will not let me turn off windows media center

  When I boot, windows media lights and substitute what I'm trying to do. I don't want to turn it off. I tried to start menu, type misconfig. Windows Media blocks the screen. How can I disable this function and use my other icons. I can not even my games coming so I can play

  Hello

  To enable disable Windows Media Center (WMC), follow these steps:

  1. click on the Start button and select Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. click on or turn off Windows features turn on on the left pane.

  4. develop the multimedia features and uncheck Windows Media Center.

  5. click on Yes and OK to continue.

  6. restart the computer.

  WMC would disappear now.

  Please note that WMC remains stored on your hard drive and you can turn it back on if you want. Turning off WMC does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by the same.

• 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

  Control Panel - programs-

  There is an element under the gadgets 'restore the desktop gadgets installed with windows' which includes Media Center gadget

• How can I fix my Windows Media Center

  My Windows Media center to disappear from my computer I already looked everywhere in all programs and windows and nothing features on or off. my computer came with this program, but suddenly its gone I have not now how to get it back. I know that I have not uninstalled it.

  Hi Oscarlo2,

  Same thing happened to me. It could be as simple as another media player, be affected as your default player. My OS is Windows Vista, so I had to go through the following steps:
  Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs
  Windows Media Center should always be which are listed there. Once you is like Media Player by default, it should appear immediately.
  I know that this has been posted a year ago, but if still you have your Media Center, I hope this helps.

• How to read subtitles in Windows Media Center?

  Hello! I bought a CD of movie and downloaded subtitles ".srt" for this movie. These subtitles ".srt" run in VLC media player by keeping just the video and the '.srt' in the same folder and two identical file names. But when I play the movie in Windows Media Center, the subtitles do not appear. How do I make them work?

  Hey Mary!
  I'm sorry but I don't have the subtitles that are already there in the DVD. As I said, there are no subtitles in the DVD. There was just a .avi file. In VLC Media Player (that I currently use as my primary movie player), simply paste. SRT file in the same folder and check the file of the same name. VLC media player automatically detects and manages the subtitles with video. This technique works for all video formats that work with VLC Media player, includin, .mp4, .m4v, .mkv, .wmv, .avi, etc..

  Is that we can run these subtitles .srt (sometimes .sub) with Windows Media Center?

  You can, but you must tell the codec to load the subtitles.  I am assuming that you are using ffdshow, in video settings, there is a setting to enable and disable the subtitles, it is a function of the video decoder not the player, VLC comes just at a time.

• Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

  I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

  "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

  A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

  There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

  Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

  "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

• How do you turn off the phone when you export HTML files?

  Hello

  I am currently managing this site Adobe Muse. I am also working on the phone right now too, but its not completely finished site. While I work on the site of phone, I also do updates on regular desktop site. Updates on the site Office me posted so I'm working on the phone, but I don't want to download the site phone should still live until its done. I tried to delete all the phone folder, but it ends up just break the site. I hope that there is a button option "Do not export phone site", but this is perhaps too good to be true. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Rob.

  Hello Fowel Christ,

  Go to file > Site Properties > Layout > phone > uncheck "desktop Redirection.

  This will disable the redirection. Phone site is exported, but the redirection will not occur. So if a person visits your domain on a phone site so only the desktop version would be responsible.

  Note: If anyone has the url of the page phone then only he will be able to access the phone site.

  Kind regards

  Every source I checked (so far) says that I have to buy a TV Tuner card, but they seem to cost a lot (for just a single-use item) so I would like to know if I can do wireleslley.

  Hello, Legobookkirby

  To connect your DVR Media Center, you need to use a tuner card. As far as I know, there are no wireless solutions to do this.
