• Replacement of motherboard on PC HP Media Center under Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit)

  On a HP Pavilion Media Center m8226x desktop PC is running OEM Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) version.  Replacing motherboard ASUS M2N68 - motherboard HP Narra2-GL8E 6150SE with a card mother MCP61PM-HM (Nettle2) due to the failure.  The two boards have same chipset and form factor.  Can I just replace the Board of Directors without having to reinstall windows?  Do I need to install new drivers?  I do not have a CD installation or installation key, Microsoft would provide a key if necessary?  Is there a link I can reference for replacement MB / install?

  Thanks for you help!

  OEM license is linked to the original version of the motherboard, it is M2N68 - LA. You lose OEM 'rights' when you have changed the Council.

• Reset the library in Windows Media Center on Vista Ultimate

  Any way to reset Media Center, so it restores the library of images, video and audio?  I need to start all over again because it won't let me control my own destiny.

  Media Center has found all kinds of stuff on my readers that I don't want to appear in its menus.  No, it's not _, but I can't see how this could be a real problem.  Is finding all sorts of photos of various I don't want not shown.  I wouldn't have to revamp my hard drive in an attempt to hide the stuff of Media Center.  That's all just crazy!  Media Player 11 is much better behaved.

  Once Media Center detects something it got him to it!  At least it seems that way to me.

  It would be a great improvement if Media Center show you a list of files that it finds and then gives you the ability to remove or add to this list.  MS apparently he dumbed down so that you can do.  Then after that it's must rescan and update everything.  Media Center development team please talk to the development of Media Player 11 team and see how they do.

  Apparently, it cannot detect that I moved my Public folder to another drive.  He is always looking for C:/users/Public and won't give up his research there.  I empied on all my music, video, photos, etc. under my user so it won't find anything be it next time around.  Now, I just need to find a way to reset the library from scratch.  It would be a nice option to have on task!

  Another option would be to score a registration file in Media Player/Media Center with a power button set with a right click on the folder.  Carbonite for that because he's back in line ups and it couldn't be simpler!

  This is really an excellent product to be almost useless for me.

  BajaPaul,

  Windows Media Center takes advantage of your information to the Windows Media Player library. We will need to edit your library here.

  <><><><><><><><><><><><>

  Add or remove watched your library folders:

  Open Windows Media Player, click on the library tab and choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV) then press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to library window, press Advanced Options, make your selections for your library folder (by selecting Add, Remove, ignore or Enable), click on OK.

  Now, let's remove existing content unwanted from your library:

  Press on the library tab, choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV). Now select library in the left panel, displays, select file. You can now right click on the folder you want, and then select delete, to the notification area select delete from library only, press on OK. Alternatively, you can right-click on any multimedia file and follow the steps above to remove.

  Note: Pictures and video in Windows Media Center libraries automatically monitor your current user photos and video records. Any multimedia content added to these folders will be automatically analyzed in your Media Center, which includes the folder Public under C:/Users, place only the content you want to add them.

• Windows Media Center in Vista

  Media Center worked fine, now when I try to open the screen goes black. I have not seen a problem with other programs. THA would exclude a potential problem with the video card?

  Hi Bruce952,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2. you receive an error message?

  This can occur if the video card needs the drivers updated on the computer or system files are corrupted on the computer.

  Method 1

  I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  For more information please visit the link below.

  How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

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

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, check if you are able to open Windows media center in the clean boot state.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or 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.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

• Is there for all other channels internet / online media center in Vista?

  Hello

  I was wondering if there are all the other channels internet / online that I can get for Vista Media Center?

  I have about 9 at the moment and would be like preferby for free. I do not have satellite or cable tv so want those online, is there any where I can get a sky without a satellite dish as prison breaks soon.

  Enjoy your weekend.

  Ian

  I don t think you will be able to find a free channel Sky One in the internet.
  But I'm not an expert m and this is only my personal opinion.
  If you don t have a satellite or cable TV, you could buy a DVB - T TV tuner, and maybe then you will be able to receive more channels TV using MCE ;)

  I bought a system that has windows vista Enterprise edition. Is it possible to add the Windows Media Center to this version of Windows. I am trying to upgrade, but it will be a few months and I want to enjoy Media Center for my XBox 360 Kinect.

  No, Windows Media Center is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate. It is NOT part of the Business edition and you can not install as a standalone.

  Question:

  Since the download of windows 7 Windows vista, I have no HP Media Center.  It appears in the photos, but I don't have access to or to reconfigure settings.   I could download lightscribe again troubleshooting, but I also had window platform of microsoft on this computer work, (such as word), as it came with it on the computer when I bought it.   Please help, I have not had this since Vista crashed and I bought the version of windows 7.  So I think what he mainly only HP software problems, and I would like to have the word back.

  Thanks, Joyce

  MS Works is no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft Works Plus (Works 9.0) was for Vista and only available for OEMS built (your picture of the HP software that came with Vista). Windows 7 still comes with Wordpad, if you're looking for word processing. If you want more than one suite, you will probably need to roll up your sleeves and install a new - either for free or one you buy.

  One of the best free versions is Open office .

  Microsoft Office is one of the most popular office of course suites.

  There are several others that you need to do a little research and talking to friends, namely one might be the best for what you want to do.

• 1394 Firewire sound card is unable to be detected under Vista SP2

  Hello

  I have an external sound card that connects to my laptop via Firewire 1394.  This device is not detected at all Windows Vista SP2.  When I plug the unit in and the power it upward, with external power supply because it's a 4 pin Cable, Windows does not show the device in the Device Manager.

  The 1394 controller is displayed in Device Manager correctly.

  I should add that I tested this sound card with my work laptop and it was found immediately under Windows XP.  Therefore, the cable and the sound card work.

  I tried the following without result:

  • Uninstalling the 1394 controller and let Windows find.
  • Definition of the registry key for the controller: EnumerateInactiveLink

  None of them worked.

• lost sound for a channel of tv media Center in vista

  Hello world
  Have had my cable is split into a TV and my computer.  My computer using Vista and is updated.  This Setup has worked well over the years.  A few weeks ago a tv in media center channel lost his.  All other channels are fine.  My TV has sound for all channels.  I replaced the splitter and still the same problem.  I think media center units must be reloaded in my computer.  This problem can be corrected by removing and reloaded in my computer?  Or is there another place I have difficulty?
  Thank you

  Hi 01starsky,

  Cause of this problem

  This problem occurs because the Media Center always tries to play an (Arc consistency #3 algorithm) AC3 (Dolby Digital 5.1) audio stream that is present in a show. The AC3 audio stream offers the best quality audio experience. Some stations broadcast the required primary stereo stream and the AC3 audio stream option. If Media Center detects that an AC3 stream is available in the broadcast, Media Center selects that available stream. Some broadcasters may broadcast empty or muted AC3 stream. So, if a broadcast contains an AC3 stream, but no audio is present, Media Center has no sound for that specific channel.

  Currently, Windows Vista doesn't have an option to force Media Center to use the main audio stream when a muted AC3 stream is present. However, you can contact the broadcaster and report the muted AC3 stream.

  Reference:

  When you use Media Center to watch live TV on a Windows Vista-based computer, you can't always hear the sound
