MEDIA CENTER STOPS WORKING WHEN I TRYING TO PLAY MOVIES THAT I HAVE DOWNLOADED
Media Center will not play any movie I have in my library, it plays fine in the music video, the same movie will play well when I use Windows Media Player by itself without open Media center.
Is there any solution for this?
Hello KINGPIN62,
Thank you for your response.
To check, are video files in a monitored folder of Windows Media Center?
To add or remove folders to be monitored by Windows Media Center, see the following steps:
· Since the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.
· Click configuration library > add folder to watch and then click Next.
· Click one of the options under which folders you want to add, and then click Next.
· Naviguer, navigate to the folders you want to add, and then select the check box next to each folder. Click next and then click Finish.
Alternatively, you can try to perform the clean boot to verify if a background program may interfere.
To perform a clean boot, see the link below:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
You can also check if the necessary codec to play the video files is installed.
For more information about the location of the codec, please visit the link below:
Playing videos in Windows Media Center: frequently asked questions
In addition, you can also check with the seller or store movies downloaded for additional codec information for video files.
Please let us know if the above steps help you to solve the problem for you or if you need assistance.

Microsoft stops working when I want to play a game installed
I recently bought a game on big fish site, and when I go to turn it on, a window of microsoft windows is telling me that the game has stopped working. Ive checked with the site and everything seems to be working there. It happened also when I bought games at walmart and when I want to play games that comes with the windows program. I bought my computer new last summer and it is a laptop, don't know why it doesn't let me play games.
You mean updating the graphics card driver, uninstall, it should not be necessary, and since it is a laptop there very probably a chipset, not a card.
natashawraight, if you go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop, it should have the drivers you need.

Creation of DVD Windows Media Player, Media Center, stop working
I use Windows Vista and that you cannot use Windows Media Center, Media Player, Media Player Classic or Windows DVD Maker.
When I try and play a video file for example, I immediately have an error message saying that "Windows Media Player has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. Same message for attempting to use one of the other programs listed.
I tried to reboot, I checked for updates and Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installed and I used the Microsoft fix it solution to 'Windows Media Player stops responding after you install a third-party product that registers its own version of the Wmp.dll file' (using both the "fix it for me" and "Let me fix it myself" options).
Unfortunately that I do not have a restore to restore point, my only option was to restore to the point before you install Windows Vista Service Pack 2, but my problem before this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I think that the problem may have started when I updated a program, I used without any problems in the past ("Format Factory"), because I can't think of anything that may have done so.
Thank you!

When you try to install labview 2011 or 2012 on a windows machine 7, I get a message "setup.exe has stopped working". I tried to run setup.exe as an administrator with the same results. I have Microsoft .NET Framework installed on the affected machine 4.5.1. Could be the cause of this problem? Or does anyone know the root cause of this error?
Hi - are you getting it at the beginning of installation, during or after 100% progression ended?
Is it fair to LabVIEW you install, or is it drivers too, in this case, what was the last big package that has been installed at the time?
This can be caused by the NVIDIA chipset driver:

How to fix windows media player... Read message videos... "Windows media player has stopped working", so I can't play the video. I can play music, however.
Michael
Hi Michaelgdr,
1. the problem occurs with all videos?
2. What is the file format of you play it?I suggest you to reduce hardware acceleration for windows media and (if supported) graphics card player
I suggest you to make Windows Media Player as a default player.
You can also change the hardware acceleration and check.
Try to reduce (or turn off) video hardware acceleration by doing the following
a. open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, and then, under appearance and personalization, clicking
Setting screen resolution.b. click Advanced settings, click the Troubleshooting tab and then click change settings.
Note that some video card drivers do not allow allows you to change the settings.
c. move the hardware acceleration slider toward none to reduce or turn off video hardware acceleration.

Help with DMA2100-CA. Media Center stop itself.
Hello. This problem started 2-3 weeks ago. When I go to the "videos" section in Media Center on my TV, try to select a file to play, a message will appear 'Media Center stops'. Then he goes to the logoff screen and stops. The Media Center to reboot, it goes to the screen to reconnect. Once reconnected, Media Center again, but still the same problem.
Funny is that she will play some files and not others. All files are technically the same Xvid avi. Some files will play with no synchronized sound and some will break Media Center as soon as I select them.
Online TV works fine. Photos and music work very well.
Help, please
Hello
Now that you mentioned that the MediaCenter Application on the PC has a problem too, then this is the source of the problem. If the MediaCenter Application on the PC hangs even without the DMA2100 lit, then something has gone wrong with the application on the PC and that the error is to be cascaded when you use the DMA2100. As mentioned earlier, you might really need to do a system restore to the time where you don't have yet of all the errors on the MediaCenter Application or you can find the exact Windows update that causes the issue related to the MediaCenter Application on the PC and remove/uninstall it.
On the link of the forum below, he mentions that the MediaCenter Application breaks down can also be caused by a CODEC that has been installed or even drivers for the video card.
I hope this helps.
