How can I get a license key if I can?

Hello

Welcome to the community of Windows Vista answers.

I'm afraid that you can't add your laptop as an Extender. Extender technology is integrated with some of your favorite such as televisions, DVD players, home entertainment devices and cool and quiet devices that fit comfortably with your other components home cinema. We call these "Extender for Windows Media Center" devices.

Here are some of the links through which you can get a clear picture on the Extenders can be used with media center.

  • Can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I know that I can stream TV recorded to another pc using the options of streaming media player. But I want to know is can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I want to be able to launch Windows Media Center on the laptop, I it would launch on XBOX for example in the same way. And then use the same way I would use it on XBOX.

    IF not, why? This looks like a pretty good idea to me. Can someone enlighten me?

    Unfortunately no, you can share your TV recorded around the House to the other PC but a PC can't act as a Media Center Extender, like the XBox.

  • I can add graphics card on my computer hp laptop 2000-2120tu

    Hello..
    I use a hp 2000-2120tu of 2012. I just want to know if I can add an additional graphics card about it. My friend just bought a laptop and he added a new (2 GB nvidea geforce) graphics card on this subject with the integrated intel hd 4000. It installed the drivers for the two, and it can use both now. Can I do this?

    I don't know what you're trying to tell us that your friend did. Laptops are now frequently with a double or switchable graphics, but that's the way they are built at the factory. Except for a very few cell phones very expensive, they don't have any locations module where you can select a video card to place in the system. Your laptop has no option for any graph other than what you have which is graphic Intel HD 3000.

  • PC HP 650: Can what dedicated laptop gpu I add hp 1858 hm70 mother

    I was wondering if I can add mobile gpu dedicated to my motherboard. If I can please tell me what graphics card I can add.

    My laptop:

    Intel pentium 2.20 ghz (dual-core) b960

    4 GB of ram

    Inteagraded Intel HD 2000 (his performance is really low)

    Dual boot: windows 7 64-bit and windows 8.1 64-bit

    motherboard: hp 1858 hm70

    Sorry there is no way to do it. The video system is a chip soldered directly on the motherboard. There is no crack or any other place to add something to the video system. The 650 HP had no dedicated graphics card option, then there is not even a motherboard, that you could swap in for decent graphics card. There is another motherboard for Intel Core CPU which would have video Intel HD 3000, but that wouldn't be enough of an improvement of worth.

    Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for posting the question on the Microsoft Community Forums.

    According to the description provided, looks like you are facing a problem when adding music to Windows Media Player.

    It would be great if you could answer these questions to help you further.

    1. is the question confined with any particular music?

    2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    This problem occurs because of the corruption of Windows Media Player library or settings.

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I suggest to run the Windows Media Player library and Settings tool and check.

    See the following Microsoft article:

    a. Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    b. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    c. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.
    If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. If you run Windows 7, click Start, click Run, type % LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft and then click OK.
    c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.


    Method 3:

  • Problems adding our HP Media Extender for Windows Media Center

    Hello, we have about 15 HP Media Extenders (MEX) laying around the place, connected to 2 x Win 7 computers laptops and 1 x Vista desktop, all running Windows Media Center.

    Previously, the MEXs all the connected without problems on the computers in the library, but for some reason, they do not want to connect now.  What happened was I uninstalled all MEXs on the Vista computer as they were all saying disabled and did not know how to enable them again, so I thought that all delete and just add.

    But the thing was, I did not add that Vista Media Centre, outside of the Xbox 360.  But I managed to add a bit of MEXs in other media Centres.  I also noticed there is a Media Center W7 which seems to be able to add when the other two cannot.  The error messages I received were: "an error occurred during the configuration of your computer with the Extender" or "Unable to Find Media Extender.

    I'm not under a firewall on all computers, or the other.

    Sorry if I missed any information.  Thank you for your help.

    Hello Robert,.

    Windows Media Center should look at the file's existing database of the same Media Center once you have disabled the feature and he re-enabled.

  • Computer Xbox 360 Media Extender and Windows 7 do not 'see' each other

    I had been successfully streaming from my PC content (32-bit) of Windows 7 to my XBox 360 (60 GB HD) since late 2009.  They are connected by Ethernet 100 Mbit/s via a 100 Mbps 3Com switch unmanaged and a Siemens ADSL gateway/router with a switch to 4 ports.  I use not media Extender functionality every day.  Its more like I use it for a week (after I have come back from vacation and want to see my photos and videos), so I use it for about 2-3 months.  Everything I do is press the green button on my remote to turn on the XBox and connect to Windows 7 Media Center.  I don't even bother to turn on my PC like the XBox, it wakes up for me (love it!)

    I modified it used successfully in mid-December 2010, but when I tried to use it again on 28 Dec XBox stated that he could not find the Windows Media Center computer.  I ran the diagnostics of XBox with no luck.  The XBox can detect and connect to my laptop (also under Windows 7 and is connected via WiFi), but it does not detect my PC.

    On my PC, the Extender both in the window "Devices and printers", in Media Center, presented with an exclamation icon and a message saying that the Extender is set up but can not be found.

    The only thing I changed on my PC since the last time the Extender has worked:

    (1) I removed the password on my user account

    (2) I turned off password protected sharing

    I noticed that some security updates have been implemented as well.

    Even if my laptop (that the XBox can still detect) was already configured with no user password and no password protected sharing, I reversed manually these settings on my PC.  This did not help.

    I tried an article that describes the removal of the certificate and add the Extender - no change.

    I tried to disable the firewall of Windows (the only firewall installed on my computer) and Microsoft Security Essentials, as long as my agent for LogMeIn - no change.

    Fortunately, I still had a restoration which dates back to the changed Extender worked, and restored at this point.  The Extender has worked once more... for a few weeks.  I thought that the problem would be back because I didn't really know what caused it in the first place.

    When the problem is back, I read a lot of articles, including those on this forum.  Some suggest specific problems with Asus computers equipped with software installed at the factory, creating a problem, or fingerprint scanners or memberships of domain.  None of them apply to me.  My PC worked loyally with the XBox as I first put in place in late 2009.

    So I went more drastic.  Two weeks ago, I rebuilt the PC from scratch.  I have not yet installed as much software as it was originally - just the basics like Office, Acrobat Reader, Picasa, iTunes, Java, Flash, Google Earth and LogMeIn...  Of course the Extender reworked... twice.  The next time I tried to use it, it wouldn't.

    I tried several restore points - this time, none of them brought the feature.

    Of course, thanks to all this the XBox can still detect my laptop which has also received updates from the Windows Update service (if only my laptop could host all of my pictures and videos...).  My laptop also has the same software, including the firewall of Windows, Microsoft Security Essentials, LogMeIn, etc...)

    This makes me think of something on the Windows 7 PC is blocking incoming or outgoing (or both) types of communication to the XBox.  What kind of diagnostic tools could use to figure out what is the cause.  If I have to sniff the network, what I'm looking for?

    I have reviewed the issue of abandonment and just buying a NAS that supports the XBox Media Extender, but:

    (a) none of the products in my price range offer the features AND performance, I want to

    (b) why should I have to?  He worked for nearly a year, and this feature must be a utility "solid."

    Thank you...

    Hi Umesh,

    Thank you for you answer.  I had already read the article you recommended, but I saw her again (especially step 3) to ensure that I had done everything I could.  There is no recommendation in this article that applied to me, or had already been tried.

    I took another look on my laptop that the 360 can detect and noticed that he was not part of a homegroup, but offered to join the homegroup organized by my Media Center PC.  I was surprised because before the reconstruction and after reconstruction, I don't remember setting up a homegroup.  Of course a homegroup has been partially install (he said my I had no libraries selected for sharing).

    I left the homegroup, and this restored PC allows my Media Center to 'see' the XBox 360 media extender.  My problem is solved (for now).

    Hi Snufferum,

    Thanks for posting on answers.com.

    First, disable the program anti-virus or firewall that runs on your computer and check if the problem persists.

    Note: because some anti-virus software will cause conflicts between unexpected applications, please temporarily disable any antivirus, firewall or anti-spam on your computer programs.

    This problem occurs if the floating language bar is enabled on the Windows Vista-based Media Center computer. This configuration closes the connection between the Media Center Extender and the Media Center PC.

    To resolve this problem, change the settings of the Media Center Extender language bar. To do this, follow these steps.

  • What size an SSD and the amount of memory can add to my Pavilion x 2?

    I have a Pavilion x 2 with 4 GB of SDRAM DDR3L memory and a 64 GB SSD (mSATA).  Because the HP partition takes a bit of the SSD, I end up with only about 40 GB and 4 GB memory is barely enough (for example, to download updates to Windows, the laptop must have 3 GB free).  Thus, we can load much much about x 2 flag.  I am constantly copying data to an external drive and must carefully monitor its use to ensure that I get Windows security updates.

    My warranty is faster and although I like this laptop very well (it is well built and solid and a good size and weight), I want it to be usable in the context of Windows 10 and as a more practical machine (i.e.: not just to watch videos and play games of the app).  Then I'll add some memory and want to increase the SSD.

    I know that I can only increase the memory up to 8 GB (single location).  Which is absolute?  I can't go 16Gb?  I also know that it is possible to get a 128 GB SSD (LITEONIT) HP, but that, once - again has the HP partition on it which swallows about 20 GB or more.  Is the motherboard or BIOS limit how large an mSATA SSD drie I might add?  That would mean no partition HP and a clan 10 Windows Installer (using the license of the Pavilion x 2).  I realize that's NOT what HP wants.  But given that the guarantee will be more, I don't see what difference it makes.  It's cheaper for me to upgrade this ntebook me that in order to pay for a new laptop, which frankly, doesn't have the features that are so new as to make itworth my time to change machine.

    If anyone with technical knowledge can answer these questions for me, I would be grateful.  I want to kow how I can add a disk mSATA SSD memory and what size I will add to my Pavilion x 2?

    Thank you.

    I can see how one might think I would say that. However, change of RAM and SSD do not negate your warranty. I must however advise you (which seems you already know, but it must be said) that damage as a direct result of this is not covered by HP.

    Also, for future reference you can find all the information upgrade, especially if it uses the memory of the UMA in the service guide to laptops that can easily lie on your devices support page. The best way to find it is with a simple Google search of "Pavilion 11-h110ca x 2 Service Guide". I went ahead and find it for you: PC HP Pavilion 11 x 2 - Maintenance and Service of Guide.

    You will see also on your support page of products that it says clearly it uses the built-in memory and therefor cannot be upgraded.

    However, the DSS is a SATA m2. The service guide will be one listing of player list for readers used in this series of portable include a 64 GB and 128 GB SSD SATA m2. (Yes, it seems to be a typo in the service guide indicating 64 MB and 128 MB, I have already taken the lead and reported.) There is no 'maximum size' like any other computer. Special circumstances are that a drive over 2 TB must be initialized using the GUID partition table (GPT) partitioning schΘma. He must also use UEFI and BIOS not.

    In addition, if you intend to use the HP drive recovery media must be the same size or larger. A smaller drive won't be partitioned correctly and may fail. Considering that you are trying to upgrade it's irrelevant information, but it can be very handy in the future if replace a SSD HARD drive. If you have your own version of Windows and that you plan to do a clean install this caveat does not apply.

    I hope that answers your questions and cancels all preconceived assumptions about how HP to manage the upgrade of PC.

    Thank you!
