• How to avoid turning off Windows 8 when I install Windows Media Center?

  I purchased, downloaded, installed and activated Windows 8 Pro on my laptop. Then I asked for and received the key to Microsoft's free product for the installation of Windows Media Center.  I used the key and installed Windows Media Center.

  My laptop restarts automatically after the installation of Windows Media Center, but my Windows 8 Pro has been is no longer enabled. When I tried to use the product key of Windows 8 again to reactivate Windows 8, I got a message saying that this product key had already been used by another computer.

  I thought that maybe I had done something wrong, then just to make sure, I repeated the procedure as a whole: I reinstalled and reactivated Windows 8 Pro. I checked under "System" to ensure it has been activated and it was.

  Then I used the free Microsoft product key once again to set up Windows Media Center for the second time. When this facility was completed, and the computer restarted, Windows 8 Pro is no longer enabled. And for the second time, when I tried to activate it using the product key Windows 8 Pro, I got a message saying that this key has already been used by another computer.

  So my question is: how install and activate Windows 8 Pro and then install Windows Media Center without disabling Windows 8?

  I suffer from the same problem you describe and even followed the same steps that you did.  After having my windows disable the first time after installing windows media center, I did the installation 'clear all' and he always gave me the message that my key was in use after installation of Media Center.  One thing I noticed, the last five digits of the key it lists on the page to turn on, show my key of windows instead of my windows media 8 pro key.  It almost seems like my windows media center key is somehow get confused with my windows 8 pro key.

• How to uninstall windows media center?

  How to uninstall windows media center? It keeps opening up, and I can't open all the files, pls help...

  See - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15530/uninstall-disable-or-remove-windows-7-media-center/ - perhaps?

  But if she "continues to open and you cannot open all files" maybe something is seriously wrong somewhere else. If he goes much evil that is, no file opens, then when it started to happen? It has been recently? you got whatever it is installed again just before the problem occurred? If then possibly consider to delete that or try a "restore point" at one point, just before the error started.

  I am trying to install windows media Center on my laptop but carnt find any where to go. all I want to do is use with my xbox any help guys, thanks

  Hi, Matt.
  You can't 'install' Media Center - either you have it, or you don't have.
  Media Center is included in all versions of Windows 7 Home Premium on-site (except for certain markets (Europe and the Korea come to mind), where it is not included by default (but there is a pack for this.))
  If you have the Starter or Home Basic, you must make an Express upgrade to Home Premium (or higher).

  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).

• Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install windows media player decoder using my drive from windows XP Professional?

  Media player from Windows

  Why windows media player is not reading my DVD, and how do I install the windows media player decoder using my disk of windows XP Professional

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder. And... He
  is not a DVD decoder on your Win XP Pro drive.

  If you could play before commercial video DVD...
  do a system restore to a time before this started
  may be your solution.

  Or you could buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  VLC Media Player

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema
  http://MajorGeeks.com/Media_Player_Classic_Home_Cinema_d6213.html
  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• Key export and Re - installing Windows Media Center Edition

  My hp zd7269cl laptop comes with Windows Media Center Edition version 2002. Now these discs are long gone but I bought oem recovery disks but he said media center 2005. Will I have trouble validating my code the product key (on the bottom of my laptop) after a clean install on new hard drive, because they are records of 2005. Also the driver disks don't work with what is installed on my computer.

  The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone. Regarding the drivers I check the web site of the support of the factory (for your make and model) and download in a folder or a flash drive and use them and not what the disk you have. Note: Install the driver chipset first, then the remiaing drivers, save the graphics driver for the end.

• I'm trying to connect my xbox live to my files. How to make Windows Media Center?

  I am trying to connect my files from my account to xbox live.  I was trying to figure out how, and he said that I needed Windows Media Center.  It doesn't even look like my Windows XP offers.  I can't find anyway.  Can I add my system?  Is that going to even to allow me to access my files?  Any help would be appreciated.
  LG

  Hope this helps ;) I know that it is a complicated process and I understand the House will network computers running the Media Center. If you click on the following link, you should be able to determine if you have any problems of compatibility http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/media-center-faq.aspx

  I strongly recommend to contact Xbox customer service because they have a specialized department set up just to manage customers to help with the implementation and use of the Media Center/Media Extender services available.

  However, here is an overview of some of the basics to have this work:

  Some with Media Center PC/Windows versions are:

  • Windows 7 Home Premium or full, professional edition
  • Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium
  • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  Once the media center is installed on the pc, you must configure the xbox as a Media Extender and authorizes.

  Finally, you need to add a network share connection between your console and your pc. This process can be a little intimidating, once again, I recommend that you contact customer service with the help of an expert in the Media Center .
