HP Media Center M7690N: upgrade network adapter Gigabit - what card to replace the product to install

Hi, this could be a long post for something simple then I apologize in advance.

I recently updated my cable modem, router wireless at HQ and 150mbps broadband internet services. Came and went with the support technique of ISP and modem manufacturer and max results with speedtest I can get up to 92mbps. Seems that everything goes well on their ends. Not sure, but I suspect the 10/100 network adapter is my limit. So I bought a PCI Gigabit card and now I don't know what location to use. There is a dial-up modem connection in a slot and a wireless local area network (that I don't need) card in another. I thought I'd be able to recognize what PCI slot to use if there is a connector cable ethernet to one of the cards, but no. The ethernet connection is on a frame connected to the motherboard... so I was wondering if someone would have an idea to which PCI slot to swap? The Dial-up modem card or wireless Lan slot? Or is the network card built into the motherboard?

I learned that the peak of out to something like 130mbps PCI slots so I'm not expecting to get all the way to speed 150mbps broadband, but I would like to get as close as I can. And hope I'm on the right track with change of the network card.

Last year, I improved the two 1 TB hard drives each in a Raid? stripped configuration, maxed out at 8 GB memory and added new Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The little girl runs really well. I just wanted to give my trusty HP one more push.

Any idea would be appreciated... Thank you very much.

BK-

I'd rather have an insightful dialogue than to have to ask you some questions.

You motherboard has 3 PCI slots.   Update external wireless modem does not help you support system that the internal Wi - Fi card does not match his speed, it's an old map of Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g.  The remote access card is actually a 56K bps modem data / fax, useless, unless your in Fax?  According to the HP website, you also have a PCI TV card (you do not have to mention)?

(1) if the Fax is not used, remove the card. Use this location.

(2) the old wireless card is now useless.

(3) be aware you will lose Media Center if you ever upgrade to win 10 and many more.

Well, you did ask!  Treat the daughter of old nice. You have until 2020 to JanRead this also. Fun.

I diagnose the network connection and he came back with no problems found. I can download & install Microsoft Security Essentials, but I get error 0x80072EFE when I try to update.

I tried to run the scan to Microsoft Live, but the page froze when I tried to download it. It seems that any Microsoft Security site is blocked for some reason any. A Hijack log is available if needed?

    I had some browser redirect issues (I suspect the Virus), but it was very random and seems to have settled down. The main problem now is to get the update in the system and the MSE.

    I could not the skyplayer appears, and now I'm trying to get a video MSN to work but alas... No...

    Go into settings and download of updates does nothing.

    I went in the TV section and downloaded the settings of 5 MB, but it says the guide is not available and the icons are always for shows in the United States.

    I remember when I tried to get the skyplayer to work, I got as far as the discovery that this Media Center wouldn't recognize my location.

  • Power went off looking at the TV Media Center. Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.

    Original title: Media Center 2005 Edition

    I was watching TV using Media Center on my PC HP Media Center m7367c PC (running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) when the power went off.   Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.  The audio works fine, but no picture, the small rotating circle of progress hangs and the screen is frozen.  I can click the X (close Box) and the program closes.   I expect there are only one or two corrupt files that need to be cleaned or replaced.

    HP support is to use recovery discs to clear the system and return it to the original configuration.   Given all the software, data and updates, I have to restore, I don't want to go down this road.

    I tried running SFC/scannow but Windows XP system discs are needed and the PC vendors ceased to provide systems with their PC discs there are many moons.  I bought Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, but he came on one drive and requests SFC disk #3 while parsing.

    I go back to the original driver TV tuner and then updated to the more recent but not joy.  I think that the problem is with a program or file Media Center.  Now when I try to configure the TV signal my cable box is recognized and then as soon as the audio lights, MCE 2005 hangs and the tiny TV screen remains black.

    I expect a file Media Center must be cleaned or reset but before I realize FUBAR I thought that he better come on this Microsoft forum and see if someone who knows what they are doing can provide the solution.

    Hi, Rudy386MS,

    Sorry for the late reply.  Do you have the problem solved?

    If Sfc/scannow solicits the disks, then you have corrupt or missing files whose analysis cannot replace or repair.  The alternative is a complete recovery of Windows.

    Open the control panel and select Media Center

    Click on uninstall

    Select the repair option

    Click next

    Click Finish when you are prompted

    See if that helps.  If not, then the recovery process will be needed

    Startup of HP systems to screen recovery (repair) when you reboot and start typing the F11 key.  According to me, that it gives you the choice to 'Fix' that leaves your files intact or 'Recover' system that will put you back to 'out of the box' condition.

    There is a Recovery Manager in the folder all the HP programs which includes Disc Creator.  You can create your own recovery discs.  I suggest using DVD instead of CD - R.  They allow more memory space.
