• Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

  Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

  You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

  Thanks for your help and your time

  Hello

  Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
  A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
  If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

  You should also check that you firewall settings.

• The decoder error: the video decoder has either malfuntioned or is not installed...

  I had to reinstall my Win XP Media Center 2005 due to a trojan virus. I formatted and reinstalled. Everything works fine, but I can play is no longer ANY DVD. I get the message "titled" above! I installed and ran the Video Decoder Checkup Utility and it says I have NO MPEG-2 decoder installed! What the heck is with that? I have a bought and paid for a BONE with Media Center 2005, the only way I've seen to get the codecs I need, I have to pay for them?  It's crazy! I thought that I had already paid for them through the puchace of my PC! (Dell)  I have / do not watch TV using Media Center. I only watched DVD (when it worked) really just, I wish the new DVD game! ANY help on this would be appreciated.

  Very probably came with your Dell system Power DVD, the decoder is in this program.

  Reinstall Power DVD and Media Center works again.

  If you purchased a TV Tuner with your system, for example (Angel USB) reinstall the driver on the CD Drivers and Utilities provided with your system.

  If you do not have the drivers CD, you can get it from Dell downloads driver.

  You can also reinstall burning software provided with your system.

  If you miss any CD program or does not have the with your system will...

• Media Center 2005 crashed I loaded Windows XP sp2. Installing XP cannot load explorer.exe and another dll file... Need help or information on how to request recovery of microsoft disk MC2005... Gateway has not.

  Help please... I have a gateway gt4024 designed with Media Center 2005. Recently, the system was not "acting accordingly so I tried to reload the OS." I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft. A link would be useful.

  I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

  I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

  I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  Hi David

  Can you please be more specific as to our image Enhancement Utility Toshiba is on? In my opinion, you can run this utility, make any desired setting and confirm with OK. Close image Enhancement Utility and then start Media Center.

  Have you checked is this brand present on some other cases such as DVD playback or something like that?
