• Error 80040154 from Windows Media Center Receiver Service

  Had this problem now for awhile on Vista Home Premium SP2 - when you start Media Center, I see low-resolution logos and control icons and when I run the application 'Live TV' I get the error ' files needed to display video are not installed or working properly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I tried SFC/scannow with no apparent violation in system files, but verification of the services I can not manually start Windows Media Center Receiver Service and get the error "Windows could not start the service Windows Media Center Receiver Service on local computer" with "error: 80040154 class not registered" listed.

  This is getting frustrating - all wisdom?

  Please repost your question in the Discussion Windows Media Center Group to: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter where the Media Center experts will be happy to help you.

• Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

  I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

  When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

  I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

  "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

  I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

  I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

  In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

  I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

  Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

  Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

  A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

  I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

  Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

  Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

  Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

  To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.

  The problem is, my xbox 360 has benn works fine it's just the media library.
  Whenever I try to add as an Extender happens to the part where it sets up my xbox and it says error and it can not set up my computer. So far, I have tried the part where you remove certificates and restarted some Services, but none of them worked.

• Windows Media Center Scheduler service is not running, even when the value of autostart

  I had some trouble recently getting Windows Media Center to record programs. I did some research and found that Windows Media Center (ehSched) Scheduler Service does not start when I start my computer.
  It IS configured to start automatically.
  When I found that the service has not been started, I have manually started, but would find it himself quit again a few minutes later.
  It of very frustrating and resulted in missing the scheduled recordings.
  The only way to save that program is open the WMC and actually watching the program for the duration of the scheduled recording. (Not good if I'm not home!)

  I am running Windows 7 32 bit SP1 on a laptop of Toshiba Satellite A500.

  Help, please!

  Hi the Flomsat,

  I would say looking at the following thread because it's a question similar to yours:

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-no-receiver-or-Scheduler/ed3672f4-7a17-419B-833A-df02fdf2af24

  I tried all the solutions on this thread. None was able to solve my problem.

  However, I found a fix that MAY have worked (it's only 1 day but so far it looks promising).

  Open Windows Media Center,

  Click on settings-> General-> optimization-> uncheck to "perform an optimization. I never noticed an increase in performance and reliability with it turns out, in fact, now that I think about it, when I turned it on, my Scheduler service started having these problems. It must be able to close the Scheduler to 'optimize '...

  UPDATE *.
  It did NOT work

  I had to reinstall windows to get it working again :(

• Qosmio G20: Question of Media Center Receiver - recovery question

  As the abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running from one day to the next day and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80 MB hard drive (60 GB HDD) to the left. Error messages had popped up and a record of these was recorded in the folder pchealth, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs with a value of these userdumps, but the same error message kept popping up.

  It was a mistake with the Media Centre receiver, but I don't quite know what it is, but it was founded in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main folder of Windows.

  I have been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe to start but that seems to ruin the tv/video within the media library settings.

  I recently installed the codec and divx player to play divx movies.

  I was wondering is that it would be more prudent to use the CD recovery and re - install windows and the software and create a restore point, and then install the codecs to see if the same problem arises, or if someone has had this problem and it heals.

  Finally, I actually ran the recovery cd to the above, but when the cd starts the first line on back said something like, 'running Setup for windows 98'. XP is certainly on the 98 and no recovery cd?

  Can someone please confirm this for me and all the answers to the above problems.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I can t believe that Windows 98 is placed on the recovery CD.
  AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with the MCE window.
  There is no recovery of Win98 CDs for Qosmio units.

  In my opinion, this message occurs due to RAID or other drivers that load at the beginning.
