• Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

  Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

  It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

• Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

  In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

  Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

  Thank you

  Loki

  Hello

  Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

  1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

  2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

  The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

  Kind regards.

• I hear the Media Center to boot, but it does not appear on the screen

  Original title: windows media center

  How to connect the buttons if windows media center does not charge and when clicking on the button of the mouse disappears and not windows media center charges, just to play the song. a difficulty of time I hope.

  Who would say that he (Media Center) is starting, just off the screen.  Media Center will appear in your taskbar?  If you move your mouse around enough, you can get that back to the screen?
  If so, right-click MC on the taskbar > move.  Use the arrow keys (on your keyboard) to try to move the MC window on screen.

• Media Center does not work on Equium A100-147

  Hello
  I have a little problem with my media center. It used to work fine, but recently, I decided to wipe the hard drive.

  I used the boot disk to reinstall windows media center edition 2005. However, when you try to load the Media Center, I get the error message:
  "Your video card or drivers are not compatible with Media Center" and it will not play videos when media center then opens upward.

  Now, I downloaded all the updates that are available from microsoft for windows and I ve downloaded the latest drivers from Intel for the graphic accelerator card.
  I am really at my wits end, Ive used this microsoft program to detect the decoder and it is both compatible with windows media player and windows media center and is set as default.

  I saw on another thread, someone having a similar problem, which was solved by going to "run", type "dxdiag" and enable direct features, however mine was already activated.

  If someone could help me I would be very grateful, thank you for your time.

  It is really strange. Your satellite notebook comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and it should work. What kind of videos you want to use. Original DVD movies?

  In any case, using google, you can find a lot of interesting comments for this theme.

  A man simply offers the solution:

  + Just open regedit, then tap on +.
  + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Media Center\Display parameters +.

  + Then add 2 KEYS to DWORD called DisableDxCheck and DisableDx9CapsCheck and their two values 1 and Media Center should start without problem.

  You can test it.

• Lost sound with PC Media Center HP

  My office is a HP Media Center m1050y (PJ697AV-ABA) CTO of desktop PC. It runs Windows XP. I have a card Creative SB Audigy 2 ZS Audio sound [E480]. The sound is set by default to this card.

  One day, I listen and watch a video stream on the Internet and the next day I had no sound. I booted up and I don't think I had sound at first, and then I removed my advertising program. I went to point restaurant the day before but that does not restore the sound.

  I reinstalled the drivers and looked at the BIOS splash screen and have tried automatic, enabled and disabled.

  I worked through the support HP on the list page:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/bph07154

  Still no sound. The connections are good.

  I tried to run the diagnostics of creative media for the hardware and the software again. Previously, it would be error. It was a mistake but I pushed the and everything happened. I ran it again and everything.

  The speaker system is supplied with the PC. It's a Klipsch loudspeakers and a subwoofer. I had checked the fuse on the box and it was ok. The computer goes into the right speaker which has a small green light. The resisdes pre - amp with the subwoofer. I know power going to the subwoofer because it was hot, and the fuse is ok. Also the green light was carried out.

  I could hear also some clicks and pops in time outside so it appeared to work.

  Pretext to check hypotheses twice, I pulled an old speaker system and hung. I had sound.

  My guess is that the missed preamplifier that has been powered speakers. Also the green light did not shine. What I saw, that was my office of light reflecting on the little green bulb.

  Thanks for your help.

• HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n problem

  So I had this problem which started today.

  When I booted my PC: HP Pavilion Media Center a1610n - it goes to the startup screen with the HP logo but it remains just there frozen.

  Another thing I have noticed is my mouse and keyboard are not powered at all even though they are correctly connected to their respective ports.

  I don't know why he acts up like this now. I tried to connect the mouse to another PC and it worked, so there must be something wrong with the HP Pavilion itself.

  Wouldn't be the motherboard or some circuit?

  Other things to note that I got this PC reformatted all for more than a year with an installation of XP (as he came originally with XP).

  Restarted the PC and still has the same issues. CD Player opens, the PC itself is powered and the screen is frozen on the blue screen HP startup. (Shows the menu and controls everything, but can not yet exploited cause there is not going to the keyboard.)

  It is possible that a RAM module is either lost contact with the slot, or is defective. Can help with reintegration.

  (1) note what slots are occupied. Remove all the RAM of motherboard. Here's the tech manual. Put 1 module in the slot located near the CPU. According to the chassis, it could have a radiator/fan together.

  (2) unit to retest. Repeat with additional modules.

  (3) any module that tests OK can be reinstalled in appropriate accommodation.

• The upgrade of Vista (32) for Vista 64 on m8120n (Media Center PC)

  I want to improve my PC Media Center of Vista Vista 64.  I noticed that HP has the drivers for Vista 64 on the site, very cool.  Is there anything else I should be aware of when you do?

  Is it possible to dual boot between Vista and Vista 64?

  I do it mainly to take advantage of the 8 GB of RAM, I use in Vista.  I have run a large number of VM and you can always use more memory.

  Thank you.

  The first thing to do is to make sure that you have all the drivers for your motherboard and all your external devices, in particular wireless adapter if you use one, The 64 - bit drivers for additional cards are not always easy to find.

  Make an HP restore disc.

  If you know how to make a picture of two partitions on your hard drive. This will allow you to restore your system to the exact state, {(avec tous les programmes et données intactes) it was before you changed it.}

  Dual-Boot and even quad-boot is easy to do. Note that start between a 64 bit OS and a 32 bit OS is delicate due to the boot manager that uses Vista. There are a lot of upgradings on how to do it online. Here's a search with your query as the topic. Simply use the search engine of your choice to find.

• Netflix in Media Center does not work anymore

  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,

  1. What is the error message you receive library breaks down?

  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.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

  Known issues and limitations of Netflix on Windows Media Center for Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972496

   

  For the Windows media center crashes when viewing other media issue try the following procedure.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Win XP Media Center SP3 won't install

  I try to install SP3 on my laptop HP Pavilion Windows XP Media Center 2002 SP-2 running. I tried to use the automatic update and it failed several times. I removed my anti virus and tried again. No luck. I downloaded the SP3 and tried to install it in safe mode. He failed. Whenever he is in the final stage and then crashes. It does not provide an error message. I let it run all night but no progress, and then I have to close it with the Task Manager.

  Any ideas?

  Anpato,
  Start by looking at this article: steps to take before installing XP SP3

  If you can boot into Safe Mode with command prompt, or if you have a XP CD and you can boot into the Recovery Console, and then run the following command: Chkdsk/r

  Then clean restart your PC and try to install it again.
