• Pavilion Media Center M8400f Bios Update for Windows 7

  HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f. The Vista operating system has been replaced by Windows 7 (64 bit) a number of years.

  I've updated one of my hard drives with a SanDisk SSD (it is now my main drive with the operating system and all my files on board).

  The bios on the PC has never been updated.

  The SanDisk SSD dashboard software will not recognize the SanDisk SSD as the system has designated the SSD as a SCSI device. I need to access the bios for this change to AHCI. The current bios does not support this.

  The PC has a card mother MCP61PM-HM. There is no update for Windows 7 BIOS for that motherboard I know (updates Vista only).

  　

  SanDisk gave me a link to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-82094-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&... that shows a card mother M2P61PM-HM for m8400f desktop PC. This Bios download supports Windows 7 (64 bit).

  Can update the Bios to download safely a card mother M2P61PM-HM for card mother MCP61PM-HM I currently have?

  Hello

  The HP BIOS update link provided SanDisk is an update of the BIOS of your PC. It is listed under Win Vista 64 bit driver downloads here.

  If you look at the site to download the drivers for your PC you'll only see driver support for Win Vista but on 2010-04-08, Version 5.29, 1.47 M BIOS updatedshows support for Win 7.

  But the problem is this: the BIOS updates must be performed using the PC operating system comes with; in your case, Win Vista. Extreme care must be exercised when updating the BIOS under normal circumstances. I would not classify your situation as usual.

  I saw others download an update of the BIOS for their PC and try to install an operating system upgraded with disastrous effects. The PC was bricked.

  Be prepared for the worst case if you try to install the update to the BIOS.

• HP Pavilion Media Center a1640n Prod #RC663AA recovery disks

  I just had a phone completely frustrated with HP support so thought I would try here.

  PC of a friend had a boot and data.  I found the hard drive to be bad with the on-board diagnostic systems of the PC, the hard drive, without SMART tests.  I was able to save a large part or all of the data.  However, the PC was basically unable to operate.  Try to start in all but the BIOS or diagnoses would fail.  The owner recovery disks never did.  But the recovery partition seems to be intact.

  I was able to save with Todo Backup & Recovery partitions and restore them on another hard drive.  She, of course, wouldn't boot either.  I have Win7 installed on the primary partition on the new hard drive successfully.  I have no way to use the recovery partition and there is content, however.

  I called HP to see reference and the price for a set of recovery disc.  I have been informed that, since the original OS is XP (Media Center, btw), that the recovery discs are no longer available.  Irresponsible in my mind, but it is what it is.

  That leaves two questions:

  (1) is there a source for the recovery disc for this product?

  (2) is it possible to use the recovery Partition to create recovery disks or recover the initial installation of the operating system on the new hard drive to a new installation of the OS?  Currently, Windows 7 32-bit is installed.  I have the means to install XP Pro, Win7 32 - or 64 - bit, or Win8 64 bit on this partition.

  At this point, I'm trying to put it back the way it was.  I know I could install just Win7/8/8.1 and be - assuming appropriate drivers exist for all.  But at this point, I'm trying to get the PC running at a lower cost.  Which, seems to me, would be to get XP Media Center, re-installed at minimal or no cost in more the new HD.

  Any constructive contribution would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello:

  I can answer your first question only.

  You can still get a set of recovery disc for this provider model.

  http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-12647-recovery-kit-5092-5956-for-HP-model-number-a1640n.aspx

  I would venture to guess that you can not do anything with the recovery partition.

• Upgrade processor for a HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f desktop computer

  What is the highest AMD processor that I can go to this HP Pavilion Media Center m8400f Desktop System?

  The vehicle currently has a Phenom 9500 (A) 2.2 GHz (95W) 2000 MHz HyperTransport 1.0 Socket AM2 +.

  Thank you

  Processor AMD Phenom Quad 995 @2.6 Ghz

  Phenom II probably won't work because it is not in the list of CPUS supported as it has been reported by other members of the forum as not working even if a HP representative said the Member that he should.

• HP Media Center PC 873n system recovery problems

  Hello! I ask this question for a friend, so bear with me. He is running a HP Media Center PC 873n and is having a few problems with the recovery of the system (for the recovery computer factory settings).  He tells me that he is unable to start his computer.  When he presses F10 to start to begin the recovery process, he immediately asked to insert as a disk, which he has never had to do in the past.  Is there anything my friend can do to get through there and continue on the recovery of the system?  Or the explanations at all?

  Thank you guys.  He really needs some help here.

  The hard drive may be bad, or the recovery partition corrupted. Usually, if HP Recovery Manager cannot access the files on the partition recovery it will ask for the discs. It burns its set of recovery disks? If so he can try to start with them if they fail it will probably need a new hard drive.

• How to install Windows Media Center & decoder: Please help!

  I have a HP desktop computer. There not yet 2 years old, I have Windows Media Center (WMC) and I could watch TV very good about it until I'm the cable box. I simply plugged the cable into the Tower, no problem. Now that I have the decoder, I'm confused as to what's missing to make it work! It is said that the IR hardware & IR control cables are missing. What does that mean? Also, how far I will use? Do I have to use a universal? Oh, and it shows the channels that are supposed to be here (for example: it comes through that channel 53 is supposed to be MTV, but there is no video or sound).

  Thank you!!!

  -Lisa

  Set your tuner, PC TV channel 3 or 4 according to the cable box output channel.  The decoder is initially connect to the wall and the video output is connected to the PC.  Use the remote control for the set-top box to change channels.  If the PC is to drive the sound then you will also need to connect audio cables (red and white) from the cable box to the audio inputs of the TV tuner card.

• I have a HP Media Center M8400F

  The computer works fine.  I just want to add memory.  I'm totally confused by the variety of available memory.  The computer is exactly as it came from the factory.  Product # is K1377AA-ABA.  The serial number is {removed privacy}

  Use / what type of memory the computer require?

  Thank you

  Hello:

  Here is the link to the motherboard for your PC card:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01357175

  Your PC can handle 4 x 2 GB of PC2-6400 memory for a total of 8 GB when you run a 64-bit operating system.

  Your system comes with a 32-bit operating system, which means that the maximum useful memory is 4 GB.

  If you ever plan change to a 64-bit operating system, you only need to add a 1 GB chip because your PC came with 3 GB of memory.

• MS Updates caused problems "Media Center has stopped working"

  After the MS Updates this week, we have a problem with our Media Center. We have a HP Touchsmart IQ526 running Vista Home Prem when are connected to the Internet and our local cable system. Everytyhing worked almost without problems because we have installed in January. After that MS Updates this week required a reboot, Media Center stops whenever we change the channel - errors "Media Center has stopped working".  Sometimes when changing positions both with the remote control and with the mouse. Is there anything other than a reinstallation of Vista?  Can you help us?

  Hello Cwray

  Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that scan you a file system [SFC] checker on the computer that would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

  (A) the SFC scan enforcement procedure:
  1. click on the Start button
  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option
  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
  11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.

  Check whether the problem is resolved.

  B. I also suggest you to rebuild the Media Center data store.
  To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, type run in the start search box, then click on run in the list programs.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

  6. launch windows media center.

  Click on the link below to get more information on media center.
  http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/default.aspx

  C. I also suggest you to check the boot and if you are able to access the Windows media center.
  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Boot stops interference with other third-party software on the computer.
  Steps to perform the clean boot:
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is solved, check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

  When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

• Cannot play MPEG-4 video in Windows Media Player or Media Center from my Flip Video Camcorder

  I use Win 7 with Windows Media Player 12 and when I try to play a Flip Video camcorder, which is an MPEG-4 format, I get the error "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem while playing the file."

  I then help the option to select Web and it takes me a Microsoft page that describes the C00D11B1 error code.  Who has no sense to me because it speaks to my sound card and I can't read thie videos no problem via the Flip Video software supplied with the camcorder.

  I was under the impression that WMP 12 taken supported MPEG-4.  Also get the Error tyring to play videos through Media Center.   Any help is greatly appreciated.

  I use Win 7 7600 version 6.1

  I guess that the Flip Video software used a codec that is not Media Player. I was looking at the setting for the camera to see if it will save in another format.

• Issue of Windows Media Center

  Hi, before 20 October 2014, I had not used my laptop since 20 December 2013 as I moved house. When starting my computer, a message came up saying that I had to install updates. So I clicked the button to start the process.

  PROBLEM 1) after getting all the updates, appeared a new desktop called 'Windows Media Center' case. No matter what I do, I can't remove it from my office, and it automatically opens all the time. When I click on Microsoft Office Word, and then open Windows Media Center and I can't access Microsoft Office Word. Windows Media Center has also changed a lot of my program icons on my desktop to Windows Media Center.

  Help is sought urgently because I now live in the country in an area of remote access and my computer is connected to my laptop - so I have limited data

  My computer is Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office 2010

  Thank you

  I'll leave your other Thread to the crew in the Virus and malware Forum.

  Just a couple of things about it.

  1. you have never given us any indication that Windows Media Center has been Malware in this thread.

  2. you say that you have downloaded AVG, even further into it you say you have always installed case, even if the subscription has expired.

  You can not have 2 antivirus installed without having any problems with your system.

  3 AVG and McAfee both disable Windows Defender by default.

  See you soon.
