• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  I would have you refer to the article below:

• Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files.

  Windows Media Player does not open or play. WMV files. I am running Vista and everything is automatically updated the newer versions. Windows Media Player worked fine a month ago, when he would be dismissed intermittently just opening. Restarting the computer should solve the problem. Now, however, I can not open the drive or open any. WMV files that used to play properly in the past. Reboot and clear the cache and cookies does not work. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well. Please notify. On the other hand, the Media Player for Internet Explorer plugin works very well.

  Windows Media Center does not work on both my XP and Vista computer. The two events lastnight

  Hello

  For someone to really help him, it is important to give as much information as possible.

  You say "my computer XP and Vista" are this one computer dual boot with XP and Vista, or is - the two computers 'single '?

  If it happened "yesterday" did you updated anything or whatever installed?

  Having only happened yesterday have you tried a "System Restore" to see if this corrects the problem?

  What TV card are you using and have you verified that this works correctly?

  If you get not a photo is the antenna in place properly?

  Do you get any error messages? More information, you can provide more someone will be able to help John Barnett MVP: Associate Expert Windows XP: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk ; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org ; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org ;

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Review the information from the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=software&s=Grand%20theft%20auto

  He says that version 2 is not compatible.

  If Aero is the problem, disable it before installing the game and then turn back on.
  I would say as you right-click on Setup and select "Run as Administrator".

  I hope this helps.
