• 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.

• How to move to the Windows 7 version of Windows Media Center on Windows Vista?

  Original title: window Media Center upgrade

  I have a Windows Vista PC running Media Center version 6.0.600 window. I have another PC with OS 7, which has Media Center of the window version 6.1.7600. Two media centres are sufficiently different, especially about the Internet streaming, to where I would like to upgrade the Vista machine with the version of Windows 7 Media Center (6.1.7600). Is it possible and if yes, where I would be able to download the new version? I know that it is upgraded to OS 7 is an option that would automatically give me the best version of Windows Media Center, but I can't really afford the upgrade at this time. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated as I am tired of searching the Web for answers to what I thought, it was a simple question.

  Thank you!

  Hi elad58,

  Unfortunately, Windows 7 version of Windows Media Center is not available for download in any of the official sites Microsoft. It is not possible to upgrade to the updated release of Windows Media Center.

• Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

  I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

  There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

  I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

  For the Windows media center crashes when viewing other media issue try the following procedure.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

  3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

  4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

  5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

  6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

  7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps in this knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

  Media Center

  While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).
