my media center of windows is causing certain command in games to stop working.

And after researching on gaming sites, most of them said to disable the WMC in my Vista 64.  is this possible, and how I can do?

I don't think that you can uninstall Windows Media Center in Vista. But you can certainly turn off starting Services so it is not executed.

Click on start and type > services

There are 4 Media Center services. They probably already unlikely running and it's not that they originally are no problem. They could be running if you have set up the Media Center and used. If this is not the case, they will be in the list below.
 
Media Center Extender Service - probably already disabled
Windows Media Center Receiver Service - default is manual
Windows Media Center Scheduler Service - default is manual
Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service - default is manual

You can open them and set them off, but I really doubt that it will be useful, because they are not likely work anyway. BUT if the game somehow made a call to start the service, then perhaps you could see a problem. Deactivation could help, but more probably to check the game settings.
Make sure that all drivers are up-to-date.

I hope this helps. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

    Media Center

    While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

  • Cannot play movies/recorded shows in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

    Three years ago I bought a Sony laptop with Vista and an external tuner ATI so that with a CableCARD, I could use Windows Media Center to record shows/movies. I recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 and found that the Windows 7 PC cannot read the 500 films/shows that have been saved and the new Windows 7 recorded shows can be played by the Vista laptop. Is any way to convert or run natively these shows that have been saved under the WMC?

    Windows Media Center on Windows XP, like Windows 7, can use external USB TV Tuner to watch/record TV. Make sure that external USB TV Tuner is compatible with the version of Windows Media Center that you have on your computer (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.).

    There is no such thing as a download of MCE to XP Pro or home.

    You may be able to find an upgrade, if you search the Web.

    Operating system upgrades are not a good way to go, always better to have the full version.

    Since MCE is an older version, you can find now a lot cheaper than it used to be.

    You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

    2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

    3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

    4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »
