I am trying to use my Media Center on my Xbox - but I am unable to get the videos to play, other than the native codecs from Microsoft.
Now, if I connect to Media Center on the Xbox and go through the video dashboard they play all since I have sharing enabled on WMP11. But it is not useful.
Media Center may be forced to work with the Xbox 360?

Microsoft sells more than Vista.
Microsoft now sells Windows 7.
Before purchasing Windows 7, follow these steps:
Go to your computer / computer laptop manufacturer Web site and see if Windows 7 drivers are available for your make and model computer / laptop.
If this is not available, Windows 7 will not properly work for you.
Run the "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-US/Download/details.aspx?ID=20
Check if your specifications are compatible for Windows 7:

Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from the Vista tray
Volume shortcut icon has disappeared from my status bar at the bottom of the screen... How do I get it back?
Seems silly, but I can't find it!Hello
Have you checked the settings in the taskbar and Start Menu Properties?
There should be a tab named Notification area.In this tab, you find an option; Hide inactive icons.
You can turn off (disable) this device or you can customize it.
In addition, you can choose which icons should be available and shows even the Hide inactive icons option would be activated.In some cases, these options may be grayed out
In this case, you will need to find a registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \TrayNotifyand here you have to delete the keys: + IconStreams + and + PastIconStream +.

If you have an XP disk and license, you can go back to XP
but make sure that the manufacturer of your computer has XP drivers available for this model computer

to boot from the dvd drive to be able to you will see a way to get into the bios Setup at the bottom of the screen or command menu start

I need to use the tab key, arrows and enter to do anything in media center. Is it possible to get to be able to use my mouse?Among other things, this suggests to disable 'Traces of the mouse', if you have it on might work.

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,

Netflix appearing does not in media center on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit edition
I have windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I try to get the netflix option if displayed in Media Center, but do not have a chance. I ran the command prompt commands to try to make it work that I found on the internet (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972496). I tried also deselect the media library and it has been uninstalled and I reinstalled it now. Still no luck. What other options do I have? Shannon Ramirez
Netflix is not released for Windows 7 and yet you should see it appear around the 22nd. If you have installed the netflix for vista you'll want to uninstall.

There is a tuner inside this laptop and I have the antenna and its plugged in. The drivers all seem to be installed but WMC tells me that I don't have the hardware to run FM stations and I can't make it work. Also, I can't record library but although I can't watch TV no problem at all.
Someone out there have the answer?
Hello
Are you sure that your equipped G50 FM tuner to 100%?
As I know a few models of G50 has been equipped with a tuner TV with antenna TV port that allows to connect a coaxial cable to this port to watch a TV program and then save.
But as I said earlier, this feature is not included with all models of G50.Sorry, but I didn't find any info regarding the FM tuner.
