Whenever I click on an attachment to an e-mail message opens Windows Media Center and the document is not here.   How can I configure my computer DO NOT open Windows Media Center but to open the document in the appropriate program.

Hello Janet,.

This problem may occur because of default program settings.

Refer to the steps in the following Microsoft article and check if that helps.

When you run an .exe on a Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer file, the file can start another program

Change the programs that Windows uses by default



Change default programs using Set Program Access and computer defaults

  • Problems with Windows Media Center cumulative update 2

    Hello

    I tried to set up my xbox360 to work with windows media center.  Whenever I try to install the Update Rollup 2, he created a restore point and as soon as he arrives to install the fix, says installation failed and my computer must be restarted or something to that effect.  I did some research and found the threads on the .NET framework 1.1 Hotfix and checked for her and she does not appear in my programs add/delete, menu, so I don't think that may be worth.    It drives me crazy, any help would be appreciated seriously.

    Yes - you will need to reinstall Windows to fix.  And, Yes, you will need to backup your data first and reinstall all your programs later.

    I'll post instructions later tonight (they are on a machine at home).  In the meantime, now is a good time to start copying all your data to elsewhere.

    Kind regards
    Chris.

  • Windows Media Center crashes when I try to add extender

    About two weeks ago (about 9/30; "I think that was a day after an MSE update), my Xbox 360 suddenly stopped recognizing my Windows Media Center PC. When I would try to set up my Extender, she would get to the first step before you give me an error "cannot set up Extender. I checked to make sure that all services were running, the firewall allowed programs through and so on, but kept getting the same error.

    About a week after that, the error "Cannot set up Extender" has been replaced with an error "Windows Media Center has stopped working". It reads: "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "He was giving me this error whenever I try to add the extension since last week.
    I tried disabling my firewall, WCM via the Control Panel, delete the mcepg2 file in the eHome folder, rename the eHome folder, remove mediacenteredatastore.db, tries to connect via another user and all other solutions I found on the forums of uninstalling/reinstalling. I would greatly appreciate it someone could solve this, like many other people, because it seems that there are several issues across the internet on this error. Please let me know if I can provide more information about this error and how to give it. Thank you.

  • I have a problem with Windows Media Player

    WMP gives me an error message whenever I try to play a video. The AVS Video Player it no problem, I'm obviously missing some codecs. Is there a simple way of loadin in Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, all the necessary codecs and WMP functions?

    I loaded a decoder from the cdec, but all what is said than what has been used and not how to remedy the situation

    Thank you

    Make sure that you use the 32-bit version of WMP, even in 64-bit W7.

    The reason is that it has more built than his cousin of 64-bit codecs. Go figure!

    Otherwise, download and install a 64-bit such as K-Lite codec package.

    See you soon,.

  • Windows Media Center crashes when you try to play certain episodes recorded from various shows.

    Seems random.  At the opening of television recorded on WMC, am able to see a few episodes.  There are now two shows with an episode every which crash WMC as soon as the cursor is near him.  Other shows, episodes of play very well.  Cannot delete shows because it crashes before able to do anything, then it opens again.  Have WIndows 7.  It happened a few times in the last 6 months.  Error message is that WMC has stopped working and will restart.

    Thank you.  I was able to send videos in the trash.  I then restored the videos and they work fine.

  • Problem with Windows Media Player: "Server execution failed" and "files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player on laptop Lenovo G780. My laptop is under warranty (bought a month ago), but technical support Lenovo told me that the Windows Media Player program is not covered by the warranty.

    And this is a problem:

    When I click on Windows Media Player - to about 0.1 sec I see it opens and closes the window and nothing happens.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the option open with Windows Media Player - I get a message: "Server execution failed" - I checked that all services with 'Media' in the name are running.

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    When I select a file mp3 or wmv and right-click with option open with Windows Movie Maker life - see the video

    I tried to turn / WMP and WMC - did not help
    Tried to run as administrator - did not help
    I don't see something suspicious under events

    What can I do else?

    Thank you

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.
  • Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center

    I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
    It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Error: "Tuner not found" with Windows Media Center

    Original title: someone at - there a solution to this problem of Tuner not found with Windows Media Center? I tried for several years to find an answer to this embarrassing problem without success.

    I did just about everything, including a restoration of the complete system without success. It would be nice to be able to use my Windows Media Center to watch live TV and record programs I would like to see later.

    There is a great thread to
     
    with people have reported this problem with this tuner.
     
    Unfortunately, it looks like the only solution people have found is to replace the
    Tuner with another brand.
     
    I don't know if it's the hardware failure or something else, but looking at this
    wire, if it was ME, I cut my losses and replace the tuner.
