  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.

• Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

  Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

  I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
  "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

  My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

  I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

  I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

  I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

  The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

  On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  Any help would be really appreciated!

• get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center

  Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

  Try this for me:

  Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

  If this does not work, try this:

  1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

  2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

  4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

  5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

  6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

  7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

• Is not visible jpg pictures in Windows Media Center

  I watched all the answers to my question and others with the same question. My camera is a Canon S3 IS powershot that AFAIK takes normal .jpg digital photos. A video (.) MVI file) taken with the same camera is viewable in Media Center. There must be an answer somewhere. I tried to save in jpg format images using picasa, windows media and nero.  jpg is still not displayed. However, tif and bmp gif will be.

  Hi Walsgrave,

  You need these folders to navigate and choose the image you want to display. If a photo you want to see is not listed, it is likely stored in an unusual place.

   

  The default locations for the photos and video are below:

  ·          C:\Users\Public\Music ·          C:\Users\Public\Pictures ·          C:\Users\Public\Video

  ·          C:\Users\\Music ·          C:\Users\\Pictures ·          C:\Users\\video

  How to add pictures, music and videos from Media Center.

  1. on the Start screen, roll down for tasksand click settings.

  2. click on the Library Configuration, and then select Add folder to watch.

  3. Select the location you want to add to:

  (a) Add folders on this computer

  (b) Add folders shared from another computer

  (c) Add folders from two locations

  4 navigate to the folder (s) you want to include, select them and click Next.

  5. click Finishand then click OK when you are prompted.

  6. you can continue to use Media Center while your library is updated.

  7. Once finished the newly added media should be available through the image library.

  In addition, the JPG file type is supported so this isn't a problem, but for troubleshooting purposes, you want to try to view different file types in Windows Media Center.

• An essential part of Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  This is the message I get when trying to add files in Windows Media Center, Windows 7 Home Premium 64.

  I rebooted Media Center (by turning then windows services), conducted an analysis of the command and deleted from the database, but none of these solves the problem.

  These are the only solutions I can find online, so if someone could please help solve me this problem I would be very gratefull.

  Thank you.

  What do you mean exactly with "scan command? Please make a SFC scan, by following the instructions at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833 . If it finds no problems, and if so, is he able to correct? That you still get the error then?

  If this does not help, then I suggest that repost you this on The Green Button forums , there are some experts WMC.

• Updated my CPU (Windows 7 64-bit) and DRM rights do not seem to work for Windows Media Center

  After the upgrade, only the specific movie channels in Media center play is more (Record) after approximately 6 seconds.

  (Do not forget that there is a function of pause/forward who s equivalent to check-in for DRM)

  Get a message from copying prohibited.

  Looks like the upgrade of the processor messed up somehow DRM rights for this machine, to the point where no films previously saved are playable AND NO NEW FILMS can be registered and enrolled in some way a Canadian Film Channel. (Bell Expressvu - channels 300 + Movie Network)

  As wired http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&id=C00D2798

  Delete the contents of the file DRM (archive first)

  c:/program data/microsoft/windows/drm.

  Restarted...

  Partial contents of the folder have been recreated...

  Problem remains.

  Can Watch all the channels, but those who are 'Movie channels' stop after about 6 to 10 seconds and display a Message of copying prohibited.
  The broadcaster has banned this content to be copied. You can only read this content on the same computer on which it was recorded.
  Note: I don't like on my OLD recorded movies... In fact already deleted... I just want to be able to watch the movie channels and save NEW ones...

  Well after 4 days of effort + a fix was finally discovered...

  (1) exit Windows Media Center is running.

  (2) open a cmd prompt - run as administrator.

  (3) run the following commands one at a time:

  Code:

  net stop ehrecvr CD %programdata%\Microsoft\PlayReady del *.hds rmdir /s Cache CD %programdata%\Microsoft\ehome del *.hds rmdir /s Cache net start ehrecvr

  (4) run Windows Media Center. Update of PlayReady through tasks, settings, TV, TV Signal, PlayReady update.

  It was the only solution to Playready update succeed to in Windows Media Center.
  Playback worked immediately without any loss overall upward or configuration information...

  I have Vista Version 6.0.6002.18030 (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) SP2 installed during an automatic update.  This box is only used as a Media Center

  Now, I get this error when you try to watch HD programming - I get a few seconds of viewing before the image starts to freeze, the acoustic breaks then the error message.
  Recorded at stations SD I will often get towards the end of the program, and it starts too break up.
  The Analysis ToolPak that I found for the Hauppauge 500 t tuner I have reports that all networks have 70 + strength and 100% quality.
  The performance of the Task Manager tab indicates the processor cores ares works at about 25% of capacity
  I had a lot of trouble getting the Pioneer BD drive to work - it turned out to be a very minor mistake, a slider maxed out on the Graphics tab "overlay" card - but until I found this he encouraged to re - install the OS from the original DVD and the problem persists.
  The system used to work properly and there has been no hardware apart from the Pioneer BD drive changes.
  I got ffdshow installed from the beginning, so I don't think that's the problem.

  DVD read OK

  BluRay disks play back ok using the Cyberlink plug in BOF VMC

  Different types of downloaded files play OK using VLC.  So, I conclude that the (integrated) graphics (latest drivers installed) and in the rest of the material are very good.

  Looking through the forums, this seems to be an old problem, but its very curent FRO me and SUPER frustrating.

  The indices of anyone?

  Hello Clement,

  Thanks much for the reply.
  I had already downloaded the Tuner card driver on the site yesterday and installed (this is the same version I already had, but he did not seem wrong to re - install).  No change.
  I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
  Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)
  I have a chart integrated 'card' on the ASUS P5E - VM HDMI, an Intel GMA x 3500 and here too I have the latest driver from the Intel web site.
  I think I've found the "MS decoder checkup" utility you mention (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=DE1491AC-0AB6-4990-943D-627E6ADE9FCB&displaylang=en).  I have a Red Cross and green ticks for different decoders but 'Microsoft MPEG-2 Video' (msmpeg2vdec.dll.) decoder is compatible with MCE, but not with MP10.  When selected "update now" button is dimmed.
  Thanks again

• Problems with Netflix Plugin for Windows Media Center

  I'd rather watch Netflix through my windows media center, since I can use a remote control, and I watch on a screen more great all in the comfort of my couch.

  It is a huge pain in the rear to have to use the browser Netflix program and must be implemented on the second monitor. So just by using the browser is not a solution.

  That being said, I can not play videos. On Windows Media Center, I open the Netflix plugin, log on to the account, access my instant queue, click on a movie, and then click play. It changes the blue background of the screen, and a small circle of spinning that tells it to load upwards. But then he just argued right out to the previous screen... which is description/options of the selected film (read, delete, find others like it).

  I tried various films of selections. I tried to disconnect and return signature. Restarted the computer. Even uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin from Netflix, BOTH the Silverlight program. No chance whatsoever.

  I contacted Microsoft and they are stumped on this. I was wondering if there is anyone here who had this problem and fixed.

  Hmmm well the problem fixed itself somehow.

  I tried to play a movie again today, and when I click on play, a windows media center style dialog box appears and asks something in the sense of knowing if I wanted WMC to access my netflix account. I clicked 'Yes', and it has loaded the film. I had not seen this before dialog box...

  So I pressed the back button and tried again to see if it was indeed fixed. Yes. I tried again and again with different movies... and it WORKED!

  I guess that the problem is not from my system, but rather netflix or something.
