my windows 7 will not let me turn off windows media center

When I boot, windows media lights and substitute what I'm trying to do. I don't want to turn it off. I tried to start menu, type misconfig. Windows Media blocks the screen. How can I disable this function and use my other icons. I can not even my games coming so I can play

Hello

To enable disable Windows Media Center (WMC), follow these steps:

1. click on the Start button and select Panel.

2. click on programs and features.

3. click on or turn off Windows features turn on on the left pane.

4. develop the multimedia features and uncheck Windows Media Center.

5. click on Yes and OK to continue.

6. restart the computer.

WMC would disappear now.

Please note that WMC remains stored on your hard drive and you can turn it back on if you want. Turning off WMC does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by the same.

  • Data Execution Prevention will not let me turn off for nothing

    Data Execution Prevention (DEP) blocked one of my games to open. I followed the steps to turn it off, but when I get to the window with the option "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select", it is grayed out and won't let me select it. I am the administrator (my account is the only one on this computer), so I don't know why it doesn't let me do. I have looked everywhere and can not find someone else with the same problem. I have Vista Home Premium, 64-bit, if that helps at all.

    Hello

    First of all, I suggest you to see if a Data Execution Prevention of the game compatible version is available by visiting the website of the software publisher. If the Publisher has not released an updated, compatible version DEP for the program, you can turn off DEP for the program that was closed. You will be able to use the game, but it might be vulnerable to an attack that could spread to your other files and game.

    I would suggest trying the following steps and check if it helps.

    Step 1: Open the elevated command prompt, follow the steps to open the elevated command prompt.

    a. click the Start button.

    (b) in the Start Menu, click programs principally made, followed by accessories.

    (c) in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option.

    d. in the drop-down menu that appears, click on the "Run as Administrator" option.

    e. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked for permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    Step 2: Try the following steps to activate the Data Execution Prevention, using commands.

    a. in the elevated command prompt, type bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx OptIn and press enter.
    NOTE: If for some reason that this command does not DEP after restarting the computer, then use the command bcdedit.exe/set {current} nx AlwaysOn rather.

    b. you should get a success return message.

    c. close the elevated command prompt.

    d. restart the computer to apply.

    Note: Once you are done with step 1 and step 2, try to add the data execution prevention program and check if it helps to open the game or not.

    Hope the information is useful.

    Hello

    Usually the laptop should start over without any big delays
    But if the laptop was arrested then you must wait 10-20 sec has only the HARD disk, and then you could feed back to the top

    I have no explanation why it takes 5-10 min in order to restart the laptop but it is definitely not normal.

    But it s also strange that this problem does not appear still, but only sometimes and I think it will be very difficult to reproduce this problem
    However, if you want you can contact ASP (authorized service provider) in your country one could ask hardware checks

  • Satellite Pro L10 will not start - green turns off after 3 seconds

    Hello

    Having a L10 (PSL15E-01J018EN) and when you press the button, the led ON / STANDBY on the front lights up green for about 3 seconds and then past off the coast. It accomplishes this task for the sector or on battery and there is no other life. Anyone know what may be the problem?

    Thank you

    Melv

    Hello Melv

    Remove the battery, connect your laptop to the power adapter only and try to turn on the L10. If this lets wait a few minutes and put the battery in place and watch if the laptop works as usual.

    Please let us know exactly what is happening.

  • NX6325 will not start or turn off

    Hi, I have an interesting problem...
    Recently bought used laptop froze after 2 hours of idling and wouldn't stop while I pressed the power button (I pushed for more than 30 seconds), so I removed the main battery to stop it. I put back the battery but the laptop wouldn't start over (power lights turns on but the screen remains black and the hard drive remains silent) and I can't close it now the power either button.

    What I tried:
    -remove the CMOS battery
    -removal of all energy sources, hold the power button to drain any residual power to 30 years
    -remove RAM, hard drive, dvd player, wireless

    At some point the laptop decided to work again... everything worked... I tested it with Passmark BurnInTest and worked without problem. Then I accidentally deleted the power cord, and I was back to square one - same simptoms as before.

    What I have to do? Help, please.

    I solved the problem - the laptop works better without drugs cough spilled on it and the ants 'try to remove' the former owner of the laptop has been a real * beep * but I managed to repair the laptop anyway.

    In any case, I bow down to the engineers at HP for the creation of laptop with such endurance like this.

    So, here are a few photos of disassembly and cleaning of the laptop:

    Oxidation caused by the spill.

    And after 4 hours of careful disassembly, cleaning with 85% medical alcohol, epi buffer, cotton rags and then in reconstructing-> ta-daaa! a working laptop tested with passmark burnintest for 4 hours and it works without a hitch.

    That's all folks - thanks again for all the suggestions and help

    You can go in Panel, programs and features and functionality in Windows
    on and outside. I think you have to turn off the Media Center and Windows
    Media Player. As indicated, you will not be able to remove the bits that are
    part of the operating system.

  • Windows 7 sees my second monitor as "generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a new hard drive on my Dell Studio 540. The PC has a graphics card ATI Radeon HD 3450 and has a Samsung 226bw 22 "monitor on the digital output. This works very well, and has the resolution of 1650 x 4050. When I am running Vista (on the previous hard drive), I got a monitor flat 14 "old on the other out, and it worked fine (although at a lower resolution).

    I added a monitor AOC F22s + on the other output, expecting to be able to put this to the recommended 1920 x 1080 resolution. Unfortunately, Windows has developed the driver for this monitor "Generic non - PnP" and will not let me set the correct resolution. To the maximum it will allow is 1600 x 1200, (as well as all other resolutions it allows) do not use the monitor at maximum capacity, which is the ratio of evil anyway, so the display seems tense.

    I run Windows Update, so have the latest drivers. I tried to install the other drivers, but nothing helped.

    I tried to unplug the Samsung monitor and restart the PC, so that the AOC, one was the only monitor it and he always had as 'Generic non - PnP' with the wrong resolution.

    Someone at - it ideas? I'm at my wits end. AOC support did not understand and could only suggest that the monitor was faulty, but the place where I bought it insist that it works very well and so no Exchange or get a refund (no restocking fee, which is a RIP-OFF).

    I really want to use both screens and would appreciate greatly any help that anyone can give. I hope I gave enough information. If I didn't, please let me know.

    Thanks in advance,

    Alan

    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    Thanks again to all who have suggested things.

  • I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive. He is now not letting me turn it back on.

    -I got my product key Windows 7 enabled on my computer, then my hard drive crashed, so I had to reinstall Windows on a new hard drive.  He is now not letting me turn it back on.  What should I do?  I don't want my computer or Microsoft thinks I use a version of Windows

    It is Windows 7 Home Premium, and I my here in front of me activation code.  But it is to say that it is not valid.

    Skip entering your product key Windows 7 and complete the installation.

    When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

    Click on properties

    Scroll down to the Windows Activation

    Click the link x days before activation.

    Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

    Enter the product key

    Click next

    Select the Activation of the phone

    Click Next when you enter your key page

    Select your country

    Click Next, call the number listed

    Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

    Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

    They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

    Click next to complete the activation.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
