Until recently, after clicking on the internet tv of tiles, I had several tiles it contains with many programs available. After some research, I found a thread here on social responses and followed the instructions. I went in the ehome folder and delete all its content and now internet tv tile is missing.

  Any suggestions on how to bring him back?

  I tried uninstall WMC and reinstall, but cannot find a way to uninstall it.

Then I noticed that there was no information of programming after a date and a time. After some research, I found that my firewall was blocking mcupdate and ehome mcupdate to access internet.

  Hello, Jose

  You are in the United States, the United Kingdom or another region?
  Internet TV is not available outside the US / UK.

  Are you using the built in Windows Firewall or another?
  What security software do you use?

  If you do not use the built in Windows Firewall, make sure that the executable files in c:\windows\ehome\ are allowed through.

  In addition, try reinstalling Internet TV.

  First, go to start, Control Panel, uninstall a program, then check if Internet TV for Windows Media Center is listed. If this is the case, select it and choose uninstall.

  Then go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

  After it is finished running, open Media Center and check if Internet TV is available or not.

• Delete the media center TV

  I record TV with media center and convert them to .dvr-ms, then use ipodifier to convert and load for iphone. Having started by putting a shortcut to the "recorded TV" folder on the desktop, I deleted the files .wtv and dvr - ms to this place once the transefer to ipod format. I guess I would have eliminated via the media library as the record can still be wagered library but cannot remove the screen "recorded TV".

  I can't find any read only files of all traces of files .wtv but they are always on the media library.

  How to delete the files from the media library.

  Instead, you can uninstall and reinstall WMC.

  Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  Now reconfigure WMC again.

• I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and now Windows XP Media Center won't play DVD - component missing.

  Now I have Windows XP Professional after the upgrade to Windows XP Media Center Edition Home 2005. Now my Media Center won't play DVDs and I keep getting the error message "Missing Component". I tried to reinstll cumulative update 2 for Windows XP Media Center 2005 that has worked for me the last time I had this problem, but now I get the Error Message "you must have Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed to get this download and it shows already on my computer as installed components. When I reinstalled it 3 years ago he corrected the problem of DVD. Help, please

  Thank you for your help. Here are the answers your request:

  Complete error message: "Missing Component - required component Media Center is.
  missing. Please contact the manufacturer of your hardware.
  KB article: WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325 - usa .exe
  The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

  This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

  Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

  The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

  Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120

  Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.

  Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

  PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

• How to delete many files duplicate music in Windows Media Center

  How to remove several duplicate files Windows Media Center music

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Media Center and I have a 2 TB external drive, I keep all my multimedia (music/movies) and I just realized that my entire music library has been duplicated several times that I now have 4-5 copies of each music file in my library on my external hard drive. It is not duplicate my movies (thank God!) Why is this happening? How can I get rid of the duplicates? and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

  You can also see duplicates in Windows Media Player library?

  Because Media Center uses the same library as WMP, I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the duplicates have been fixed.
