• Fusion Pro 8.1.1 VM hangs for minutes at a time

  Hi all

  I ran a virtual from Windows 7 machine that I've migrated to version 12.

  Recently, I run the virtual machine and it completely stops responding on a regular basis for periods of 1 minute. I stop hearing the hard drive is accessible, and it's like fusion itself does not receive cycles the Mac CPU.

  Finally the VM responds, for periods of 10 seconds to 30 seconds, and the computer freezes again.

  I tried to change what I can settings bit, but nothing seems to help... I don't know even where to start looking for the cause of this.

  TIA,

  Nelson

  PD: joined the journal of diagnostic information

  Thank you all for your suggestions.

  The problem has been resolved. Apparently, the gel caused by Fusion, trying to get control of the DVD-ROM. I disconnected the virtual machine, and it now works normally.

  Thank you

  What devices can be used for an Extender?

  Basically, the only device that you can use as an Extender is a Xbox 360 console. You cannot use another computer. All third-party Extenders are abandoned. Media Center started as Windows 10. http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/set-up-a-Windows-Media-Center-Extender has information about the Setup program.

• When I take the Media Center it takes 4 minutes to load

  Recently, I cloned and replaced the HARD drive with a much larger (thanks to the Olympic Games in HD).  Everything works fine, except for the fact that when I wake up in the MCE to watch a program that the screen is black (I can see the mouse and move it) and it takes several minutes before I see the recorded shows section.  The Web browsing is slow for a nother minutes.

  I tried to optimize the media center with nothing doesn't.

  Last option is to reinstall windows, but then I lose all my programs.  Is there a way to save the old programs so she would see a new installation of windows?

  Let me add that I tried to stop MCE and then go back, not help.

  I will suggest you to download and install the latest graphics driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site to download and install the graphics driver.
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  If you are looking for a re installation: -.

  Back up your files before you begin reinstalling Windows 7 if possible, even if you have reinstalled Windows 7 on a hard disk partition, and you have personal files on another partition. For example, if you have encrypted files, you will not be able to access them after reinstalling Windows. A custom installation replaces the current version of Windows 7 and all personal files.

• Records of Vista Media Center starts and stops at the wrong time

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1 and that you may have noticed that when I schedule recordings for some a particular channel, Media Center starts 2 minutes beforehand and ends 2 minutes in advance.  This affects only shows record from my local affiliate Fox - all other shows for other strings start and stop at the appropriate time.

  I checked the system clock with the start times of the shows and both are correct.  In fact, I saw one day Media Center started to record for a show that did not begin until 08:00 at 19:58 (according to the system time).  I had my TV on at the same time and was able to verify that the program in question had not yet begun, so the flow of the internet was sychned with the dissemination of local transmission.

  It's very frustrating because I miss the end of some shows and cannot always extend registration ends because I'm ordering another channel, the next hour.

  I have the same problem with the FOX network...

  -1 make sure your clock automaticly sets in the internet and update once by pressing the link (which makes that he can see the time server)...

  There are two ways you can go with this:

  -If your departure time is correct, then just go to the Planner and choose the program (or series) you are trying to install, select the recording settings (or adjustment of series) or advanced setting... There is an option to "stop recording" 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, until 2 hours after the recording is finished... I have mine set to 5 minutes after, and she fixed it...

  -If the starting time is disabled (as mine is), to enter ERM and manuver to tasks > settings > TV > recorder > recorder defaults

  This is where you define all the flaws of the recorder, find "Start when possible" and "Stop when possible", 4 min value (max allows MCE)... Save and exit, restart the machine too...

  You should be good to go...

  PS, I just read the last sentence in your post, you must only have a tv tuner card in your machine (I have two, and that's the reason why I bought two), so you can always have a problem when recording two different channels (back to back on the same channel should work okay).

• Units (Windows 7) media center impossible compleate the next option every time that I "click" or choose it from the menu option within the center of Meduia

  Whenever I "click" or choose it from the options menu in the center of Meduia units (Windows 7) media center impossible compleate the next option.

  Whenever I select the option, "more", all I get is a splashbox that says simply, "" INVALID APPLICATION, cannot start. "" This option is located in the general Menu of the Media Center in the submenu 'tasks' .

  Thank you...

  Run the Setup again.

  Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

  Does that help?

  If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

  Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  Now reconfigure WMC again.

• vCenter 5.5 Web Client Login - authentication hangs for minutes...

  I just finished an upgrade on the VCSA since the latest 5.1 to, I guess, the last 5.5.0b. Upgrade was surprisingly fast and clean and, so far, the only large thing of sorts (apart from the environment variable missing for remote console causing Java to fail - I fixed) is the process of connection.

  It is a very simple VCSA executes all integrated services (SSO database) with no external authentication or other difficulties. The some user accounts and passwords seem to have met very well as well.

  Each connection is working, but the progress bar hangs 'Authenticating' animated on the screen for several minutes before allowing the user access. Once, things seem to work well (at their level usual slow, but not worse than 5.1 was never for us).

  Any thoughts on the source of this endless hang?

  Ah! Too bad. I did some more research and found this POS removal procedure:

  It worked like a charm. Login is back to normal now.

  I usually use other media players, but I would like to first of all using Windows Media Center. However for the moment video playback is not good because of the weird colors (everything is displayed in black and Red instead of normal colors). When you use other media players, I use the Haali rendering engine which gives good results for video playback.

  Can you tell me how to change the rendering used by Windows Media Center?

  Also, I noticed the same weird color effect in Windows Media Player 11.

  If the previous step fails in Windows media player, so be sure that the hue and Saturation are defined by default.

  1. click on the arrow on the tabplaying , point to enhancements, and then clickcolor picker.
