  Nothing worked and I'm pulling my hair out.  I use WMC with an HDHomeRun and a map of Time Warner cable.  This facility worked well for more than a year before installing this update.  The machine is a Dell XPS 8300 running windows 7 SP1.   I'm unable to watch all channels protected by DRM and I lost all my legally registered content.  It is a disaster and cost me 30 hours and counting.  Anyone have any ideas?

• Anyone having problems with the BT Home Hub 5 since the firmware has been updated two weeks ago?

  Since the firmware has been updated a couple of weeks, my air 2 canned disconnection from the wifi ipad. And if she's not be disconnected it asks the router to renew the lease every few minutes. Sometimes I can't the internet connection, other times I have connection, but used to play embedded videos.  I have to turn the ipad works to recover.

  In addition, my ipad think that the ip address is 127, but my router it's 115!

  I tried BT, but British users will know it is terrible, they are.

  Anyone with problems and suggestions? I tried everything until and including resetting the network settings. I'm sure it's the router.

  Hello

  If you can afford to buy your own router this will work much better

  I use a Netgear without problems 6300rv & double speed

  Works even at the top of the long garden.

  If you are not bound to bt try Plusnet based in Sheffield

  Very good at solving problems.

• Stopped Media Center Guide to update

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition and some time around Christmas, the Media Center Guide stopped updating.  In turn, the recorded tv has stopped working.  It's been over 3 months later and it still does not work!  It all started when my computer updated.  It's updated several times since then and has still not solved the problem.  Help, please!

  Hello Jen_1918,

  I suggest that scan you SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  a. click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

  b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  Note: Could you prompt to insert the Windows XP CD.

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

• Windows Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel

  Original title: Windows Vista Media Center

  Since the beginning of June whenever I try to change the channel on the TV tuner in Media Center it crashes. I tried to do a system restore but restore never worked on my count. Problem event name: APPCRASH. Application name: EHShell.exe I'm looking for suggestions that might solve this problem.

  1] updated TV Tuner card driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver.

  [2] delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:
  %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB
  
  Delete: -.

  Start > run > type in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db > OK.

  Locate mediaCenterDataStore.db and right-click on it, select Delete.

• Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

  Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

  It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

  To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

  So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

  You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

  ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

  ... Thank you!

  Hello hank1111,

  You can see this thread, including the recent responses, the bottom of page 3 I think:

  I'm NOT an expert on these things, but so are ' twisted my arm, I'd suggest the possibility of you as I did to RW:

  «If you still have your Windows OS CD maybe you could try to remove & then reinstalling Windows Media Center entirely?...» I don't know there's a way to do it, but you do not want explicit instructions of any part/whatever ' one who knows what they have everything.  Also, if it is possible to do a total removal/uninstall & reinstall, - vs - a sort of "repair", I'd do the full thing, that simple "repair" can let WMC Guide EPG old and outdated files that could bring you a right of return to the same sorry state of affairs! »

  ... hank good luck!

• Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

  I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

  There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

  I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi farrelldoc,

  1. What is the error message you receive library breaks down?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

• My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files

  I'll provide too much information because those of us who are computer knuckleheads think that everything is important since it is a mystery to us.

  My main computer crashed and the data has been retrieved from the hard drive, including all of my Outlook Express dbx files. There are four years of e-mails in these files and critical that I be able to open them.

  My only working computer running XP. It has Outlook Express is installed on it and was once used for e-mail, but not more and not implemented with my ISP to send or receive if it matters at all. Other that the sending and receiving of all the other functions of the OE program appear to be operational.

  I have read many explanations on how to open the files dbx on different sites - all is completely different and most seem well beyond my skill level.

  There is a fairly painless way to open these files? I don't want to try anything that could damage them. Please... any solution please guide me through in its simplest form - I am 64 but pretend you are explaining the process to a 7 year old. Yes, I'm that lame!

  Sorry for writing a novel and thank you to all who take their time to help the ignorant!

  I advise you to immediately copies of your DBX files restored. Save the duplicates in a place safe, and don't mess with them.
  Then try using one of the various tutorials that you have found on the Internet by using a copy of your DBX files restored.
  I did it a few times, but years ago and I DBX http://www.techrepublic.com/forums/questions/how-i-open-corrupted-dbx-files-in-oe/ visualization tool
  You just continue to make attempts, using a tutorial after another.
  As long as you have these unchanged copies of backup of your DBX files, you should survive it - other than frustration. Email PC remains a mess.

• Media Center crashes when starting a movie from netflix

  I have seen this problem with many X 64 now users of systems. Netflix in windows media center crashes when you click on the beginning of the game film. Seems to be a X 64 system problem. All the patches yet? I saw a large number of entries of "try this" but I haven't seen any which have resulted in a solution,
  Thanks for any help on what I would use netflix inside the WMC if possible.

  Hi all

  It is a known problem with Netflix in Windows Media Center. It is caused by the presence of a very long user agent string in Internet Explorer. For more information about the agent user channels, see the following MSDN article. There is currently no supported workaround by modifying manually the user agent string can cause problems of compatibility with some Web sites.
