• Why has Windows Media Center Program Guide, an expiration date and is it possible to extend the updates of the information on the TV program?

  When I watched the recorded TV programs, I realized that no programs have been registered since May 1, 2012.

  When you open the program guide settings (settings:, TV: ProgramGuide) and watched part of the' Guide' he said start from 01/01/01, end date: 2012-05-01. So that explains why I get no updates.

  But someone how to get the subscription suite program listings or another way to obtain lists of programs TV in Media Center?

• Windows vista media center does not I can uninstall and reinstall?

  Windows vista Media Center has been installed, but will not respond. How can I fix this problem?

  Hello

  You cannot uninstall or reinstall

  Try this:

  Run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
  2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
     sfc/scannow

     The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions

• In Media Center, want to play together photos and videos.

  In Media Center, I like the way you create slideshows by simply adding images in the folder.  Why can't I add a small video file to play as well?  With cameras of today in a position to take pictures and videos, it would be nice to be able to combine the two types of files in a folder and make them play together in the show. For example, on vacation I take 200 photos and 50 short videos with my camera.  I then download all these files (photos and videos) in a folder called 'Vacation2013 '.  Then, I want to be able to select this folder in Media Center, they are the piece of photos and videos.

  You can do it in Google's Picasa.

  I know that I can use Movie Maker or some other video editing/creating software to combine photos and videos in a video and then have Media Center play video.  But I don't want to do that.

  Download Malwarebytes from the link below. During installation, the final dialogue box there will be two boxes that should have check marks in them. We need to launch Malwarebytes, and the other is to check the updates. It is imperative that the two boxes contain check marks. Once updated Malwarebytes opens.

• Windows XP media center keeps going in a loop and will not complete the boot.

  Rebooted PC, probably because of an update, but I also dropped the mouse wireless in the word, and I don't know if that's the problem.  To start Windows and I have three choices, but if I choose safe, last known config, or normal mode, it ends the countdown and starts, but loops to the same black screen that has the countdown.  Help!   Thank you very much.

  Ideas:

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

  the problem is known as "boot loop" and it is generally caused by a lack of disk and file system tune up

  There are commands that can be executed in the disk prompt that will help stabilize the boot process.

  However, you need to start with any xp cd and launch the recovery console to log on to the disk system.

  then the disc prompt, run the following commands >:

  Chkdsk

  Fixboot

  FIXMBR

  (the fixmbr will provide a serious warning, but you can ignore the scarecrow)

  then the output, remove cd and the system should be able to boot normally again.

• m7480n 5 years old HP media center computer

  My five years, HP Media Center pm m7480n looks reving it's all the time.  I cleaned well and a tech put in a new power supply a few days ago.  I thought that the reving stop.  The CPU usage meter spikes up to 80% or down then goes back.  I don't think I'm running anything out of the ordinary.  I have a Bell Canada Internet security system.  Any thoughts of what might happen?  I am 58 years old, not very literate in computers.  Bonnie in St. Catharines, Ontario.  Thank you!

  Hanspuppa, WOW, it worked, it really worked!   Thank you very much for me browsing to turn off the Indexing Microsoft (who asked for it anyway!).  Another that not having is not the "Run" command available (who took away?), but then research on where to find it and get back into my Start menu, worked all your instructions.

  Thanks again, I am so grateful to have found this page.  My computer is not constantly the motor itself 110 miles in an hour and I don't feel I'm the kill by working it too hard.  The fan slowed down, the less high spikes and all is well.

• Media Center is planning a record but didn't and defer to a later date.

  Windows XP Media Center 2005 has been in place. 1st symptom was that it would block when calling my TV (usually just sitting on my TV).  Sometimes, he reached the following menu, but will not charge recorded TV or records on demand (just sitting with 'circle' symbol circling).  Discovered that sometimes if I end task through the Task Manager and restart and then not choose my TV but using the shortcut for Live TV I can sometimes get Live TV, sometimes it crashes with 'circle' symbol encircling.  Pointed out that memory almost full (indication AnVir Task Manager).

  After reboot, all usually (not always) is clear and that is running. with Media Center.  After reboot, I sometimes have a monitor that is not turn off as it is supposed to (hard drives are supposed to be off, but I haven't checked that)-requires a reset forever and at 10 min., working for the monitor, but still does not go on standby after 15 minutes.

  All the foregoing is symptomatic with Media Center (usually) works after the restart.  Media Center records sometimes and sometimes does not.  When it does not usually record it defers to a later date, if available, otherwise no recording until then is a guide and it as if by magic reappears, postponed.

  The second tuner (usually used for recording) records while TV Live is on but if scheduled recording is not as long as Media Center is running she sometimes record and this is sometimes not.
