  Maybe someone can answer this question of resettlement. I have a computer that has a bad hard drive. It came with Windows xp media center 2005.

• You need to reinstall Windows XP Media Center.

  Original title: my MS answers forum.

  I try a clean reinstall of my Acer ASPIRE running MS WIN XP MEDIA CENTER VERSION 2002 SP3. When the PC was purchased the first task was to burn 2 DVD. Now I can locate the Acer E-recovery on the PC but don't want to save the data, simply create a CD or access to the recovery options. Y at - it an App on the DVD that has them, I can see STCDBOOT. ISO 119.170 FILE WinZip, which is. Was told to start with the DVD on the tray, of no use and start holding the key pressed ALT and pressing F10 does not. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

  Hi BeeCees,

  ·         You have the two blank DVDs you have burned when you got the computer?

  ·         The Acer E-Recovery software does not give an option to clean install without saving the data?

  I recommend you contact Acer support for instructions on how to reformat their PC using the Acer E-Recovery software without migrating their data on.

• Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
  When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
  When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
  With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
  However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
  I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

  Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

  At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

• How to record TV with Media Center (Windows 7) to a network drive?

  Well, you would think that the new MediaCenter Windows 7 would live up to the recording of your TV for a network/player sharing. Nevermind, it seems that it is just not possible.

  I have a windows 2008 R2 server and a Windows 7 machine with a TV card. Since my server has 2 TB of storage, it would be nice to save directly to a network drive. (I rode like Z :).

  I tried the following:

  1. By selecting Media Center itself: does not. Is not available.
  2. Editing the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Recording to RecordPath Z:\TV. Does not.
  3. Editing the registry: set RecordPath to \\server\TV. Does not.
  4. Create a symbolic link (mklink \D) of Z:\TV and \\server\TV with parameter in the registry under RecordPath.

  I am currently out of options. I could of course install Windows7 on my server, but I have no license for this, and my windows 2008 r2 is free from dreamspark.

  So: How is the world possible to make this work? And why not just MediaCenter detects my network sharing?

  Record on the network is not supported.  The smallest hiccup of network could cause problems with registration, or even TV live as the recording buffer would be located at the remote location.

  One thing you can do is to use Windows Home Server Power Pack 3 and its function of archive TV which you can configure to automatically move all your records or only those you want.

• How to enable the DVD library in WIndows 7 Media Center

  How do you enable DVD library in Win 7 Media Center?  I tried editing the registry as in Vista, but it does not work with Win 7.  I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.  Thank you

  Hi zt75,

  Run you manually editing the registry?

  Have you clicked on fix it from the link below? If this is not the case, click on fixit and check if that helps.

  How can I enable the DVD library in Windows Media Center on a Windows Vista-based computer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930526

  (Although this article is for Windows Vista, we can always give it a shot in Windows 7.)

  Or do these steps and check.

  To enable the DVD library in Windows 7, follow these steps:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.
  4. in the list programs, click on regedit.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\Video settings

  6. in the Details pane, right-click VideoGalleryView, and then click on edit.
  7 remove the content that appear in the value data box.
  8. in the value data box, type Gallery, and then click OK. Registry value data: Gallery = Activate My DVD; Play = not to activate my DVD
  9. close the registry editor.

  To verify that the automatic fix worked, restart your computer. You should now see "DVD library" from the menu. To add DVDs, go to the menu information (click on 'i' on the remote control) and select "Add Movies.

  Try this also:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.
  4. in the list programs, click on regedit.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Start Menu
   
  Check if it has a value of HideDVD, and if the value data is set to 1. If the data in the value of HideDVD is set to 1, then you have two options. One option would be to delete the HideDVD value. The other option would be to change the value from 1 to 0 data.
  6. close the registry editor.

  EDITING REGISTRY WARNING:
  Important:   This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.
