  • Why Media Center interfere with the master of local network discovery?

    At home, I have a mixed network of 5 win7, XP 3, xbox, pills and devices multimedia TV.

    The network relies on a specific working group name (that all windows computers use) not homegroup.

    This works well until my Win7 computer that is configured as a DVR with media center becomes the 'master' for LANs to discover.  Then only the Win7 computers on my local network.  All the XP computers disappear.

    Why is this and how do I solve this problem?

    It feels like the 'master' for local networks is chosen randomly.

    Why Media Center interfere?

    Can I stop this interference or inhibit the computer to be ever "master local network media center?"

    I use a free app called lanscan to give me a list of computers available in each perspective of computers.  When the broken state this app fails to list anything except on the Media Center computer.  Lanscan also shows the computer hosting the network discovery.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have over 30 years of experience with computers but my network is just enough to get me in trouble (and keep changing the rules)

  • Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center interfere with the operation of the Vista computer.

    Since the implementation of an Xbox 360 for the family to use, turning power switch and return to the dashboard caused Windows Media Center on the laptop family to turn on automatically, which, in some cases, interrupts programs and blocks computer. Sometimes the computer will be same turns on automatically when the XBox is turned on.

    I've done everything I can think of to stop the problem, including 'disconnect' XBox WMC in the "Uninstall" the XBox and the XBox settings in the settings of WMC. I do not anticipate using WMC in the near future, I just want to stop this crazy to happen.

    Thanks in advance for any help and please ask if you need more information on my problem.

    Hello ebduhamel,

    1. what type of connection you have between the computer and the Xbox, it's a cable or a wireless connection?

    2. is it to wake up the computer from standby or everything just stops?

    I suggest you try the steps below and check if you have the same problem.

    This could be possible only if media sharing is enabled on your computer.

    I suggest that you turn off media sharing and make sure you always have the same question:

    a. click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click media sharing.

    b. turn off media to find that others share and share my media to check boxes, and then click OK.

    By clicking OK, you confirm that you want to turn off sharing for yourself. You will also be asked if you want to turn off sharing for everyone who uses this computer. Note that if you let one of the selected check boxes, some sharing services may continue to run in the background.

    After having been informed by tech adobe support that: "I'm sorry, but this is a file from the base of the core of the system, we cannot do much."

    I decided that I was going to test each component in user accounts and find the culprit manually.

    I have studied everything that I could all kernelbase.dll NTUSER.dat and parameters of the first.

    From what I could gather kernelbase.dll if crushed more often when the 32-bit and 64-bit settings are not configured right.

    I downloaded Registry Explorer 0.7 and analyzed a new vs account a "corrupted".

    I discovered that windows keeps a record of the last access programs via OPEN/SAVE location.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU\prproj

    To solve the problem:

    It comes to registry changes, do at your own risk!

    1. Create a new user account with admin rights. I'll call it "AdminRescue".
    2. Connection in "AdminRescue" and open first cc, check that the problem has disappeared.
    3. Now you could start using the new account and forget the old, but I find myself that making 3 times in 4 months, the issue will come back again.
    4. The solution is to runREGEDIT under the new account that you created.
    5. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSavePidl MRU\prproj
    6. Select prproj and export it to a disk usb or c:\adobefix

    I am running Windows 7 Professional, and until yesterday had zero problems watch netflix via media center on my pc that I use as a HTPC.  I don't know what happened, but now I can watch Netflix in Media Center, or with a film from my browser to start.  It gives me the same error every time, a code error and said he had problems with signature and try closing and restarting the program.  However, he has no problem logging into my account and see my queue of the movies that he simply doesn't play anymore.  I tried to come back to Silverlight version 3 based on somehing I read elsewhere, but also reinstalled all the dependencies for Netflix and Internet TV in Media Center with no luck.  In addition, I did a system restore on the eve of problems, left with no luck.  Netflix said that this is a known Microsoft issue and they can't help with it?   I have confirmed that I can not connect and watch netflix on any other computer in my house is not my account network or netflix, only this HTPC.  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

    I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

    There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

    I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi farrelldoc,

    2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

    There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.

    It is a known problem with Netflix in Windows Media Center. It is caused by the presence of a very long user agent string in Internet Explorer. For more information about the agent user channels, see the following MSDN article. There is currently no supported workaround by modifying manually the user agent string can cause problems of compatibility with some Web sites.
