    I've looked everywhere I can think and have not been able to find an answer to this far (including the green button forums)

    -uninstalled onecarelive and disabled the firewall (one of the problems solved but are still unable to find the xbox)
    -reset the xbox to factory settings
    -check the firewall router so
    -installed all the updates that are known for pc and xbox including SP2

    Here's the event codes that I get when you try to configure the Extender, it shows correctly configured but yet I get the error not found "extender".

  • Vista Media Center does not display the subtitles TV

    I just started to use Media Center to Vista Home Premium and I need help.
    I googled but have not found my solution.

    Fortunately, my HDTV (Samsung) shows the legends on the captioned.
    When I go the same path of VMC, I don't have captions.
    Where is the 'button' to turn on / off?
    It is a function of the tuner (digital tuner Hauppauge HVR-2200)?

    Thanks for your help, but I finally got the legends of work.

    It seems that the solution is in the Windows Media Center TV Pack 2008 (x 86).
    I was provided by my HTPC seller and applied the 2 patches that came with it.
    The old system was WMC version: 6.0.6001.18000 (longhorn_rtm080118-1840).
    After installation, the version is 6.1.1000.18273 (longhorn_mc_dev (wmbla). 080702-2208).

    Now my menus show the items people asked me access but was not when indicated.

    It works with the same material: HTPC HDMI - HDMI-> receiver--> TV

    In fact, the legend of WMC are much more clean and elegant than those of Samsung TV.

    Is there a way of positioning, as their name suggests, under - titles?
    They appear in the middle and slightly below the center of the screen, rather than the bottom of the screen.

    Kind regards

  • Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?

    Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

    OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

    But I still can't read the DVD.

    After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

    This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

    What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
    If it is it may be a disk problem.

  • Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

    Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

    I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

    I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

    Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

    Thanks in advance.

    Julie

    Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

    First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

    Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

    My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

    This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

    (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

    All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.

  • Vista Media Center DVD Player not to return to previous position

    Hello and thanks.

    I have Vista Ultimate and I dive into the wonder that is Vista Media Center. It has a great feature! However, one of the points I noticed that lack is the DVD player does not playback from the previous position. As far as I know, there is no option in the GUI. In a spirit of clarity, let me give body to what I mean:

    If I play a DVD movie and stop it in half way through and close Vista Media Center, then restarts VMC and DVD playback, the DVD starts from the beginning and not the position that I stopped. It is not only boring, it is a feature of all the other DVD players I have used offers.

    So, my question is this: How can I activate previous position reading recovery in VMC?

    Hi AShimon,

    Thank you for visiting Windows Vista Microsoft answers forum.

    There is no option in Windows Vista Media Center to resume playback where you left off, after the closure of the Media Center.

    However, I will propose you to pause the video you play and then lock the computer if you do not use or else you can also continue to work on the computer after pausing the video. Whenever you want to watch the video from where you paused just click on the 'play' button.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    Thank you and best regards,
