• Windows Media Center - auto-start.

  When I go out a few games, Windows Media Center automatically starts.  It drives me crazy.  Guild Wars is the biggest offender. Whenever I go out of Guild Wars, place appears in the Media Centre.

  Media Center can be deleted? -I never use it.

  If this is not the case, can it be completely disabled, so I NEVER see it again, at least that I re - install Windows.

  Hi Doramon,

  Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

  What are the file extensions you are trying to play?

  This could happen because some of the types of files supported by Windows Media Player are not supported by Windows Media Center.

  To check the file types supported by Windows Media Center please visit the below given link:

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Center

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/file-types-supported-by-Windows-Media-Center

  You can also try and run the System File Checker tool. This would be in repair of the system files that may be damaged.

  Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

  5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

  11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  This would take care of the issue that you are facing.

• No sound with Windows Media Center TV

  There is no sound when watching live TV or when I look at TV shows recorded on Windows XP Media Center TV. I tried the volume via the remote control, monitor & HD Realtek audio Manager control, but no luck. The speakers (which are incorporated in the monitor) are both works well and work in other areas, IE: DVD, Internet and iTunes ect. It's only when I watch live or recorded TV programs. my PC is connected with RF cable (DOM) any advice would be appreciated gratefully. Thanks in advance.

  Hello hillsiderWH,

  Seems that your windows installation is missing most important files, I suggest you boot to the top with your windows media center installation CD and run repair on the windows installation. This will replace any missing files and I hope that your media center up and running. If this isn't the case, it could be a problem in the registry.

• I get a black screen when I play videos in Windows Media Player and Windows Media Center.

  Until recently, all worked well for a long time. Now when you try to watch live TV or a DVD, I get a black screen with sound in Windows Media Center and trying to watch a DVD in Windows Media Player I also get a black screen with sound. The controls are there and functioning normally. DVDs are normally visible in the K-Lite Media Player Classic.

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, a tuner TV of SiliconDust HD Homerun networked and a videocard ATI Radeon 4550. I have all the latest updates.

  I found and tried many recommendations of the Internet for problems like this, and none helped.

  The video card driver is the latest provided by ATI to Microsoft for Windows Update and is dated from 19/04/2011. I tried to install the latest Catalyst software and driver from the ATI site, which does nothing to help, and then uninstalled. These drivers provide no option to adjust the hardware acceleration.

  I had an older version of K-Lite codec package installed. The problem does not change if I have the old version, the last 32 + 64 bit version or no version installed.

  In Control Panel, I tried to disable Windows 7 media, reset their reactivation components and reboot again. There is nothing.

  I had an older version of installed package from Cyberlink. The problem remains the same if I have the old version, the version the most recent or any installed.

  I tried to uninstall all Apple software: QuickTime, iTunes, etc. There is nothing to help.

  I tried to create a new user account; same problem there.

  I have VMware and a virtual machine that is running 64-bit Windows 7 Professional. In this machine, I can view DVD normally with Windows Media Player, using the same physical DVD drive. I don't have Media Center set up in this machine.

  Title photo: original No. in Media Center and Media Player

  The problem is now resolved. I removed the software installed probably because the problem started, and Cisco Webex, which I did not need, was probably the culprit, although I'm not 100% sure.

  Thanks to those who have tried to help.

• Windows Media Center starts on its own...

  I am running Vista 64 bit. and from these time, for some reason my media center to windows just starts up on its own with attention now. I checked the settings in the media center and its not programmed to automatically start from what I've seen. It starts when I open other programs, and when I close them. not all the time and not in any decernable model. What should I do?

  Hello James_CC,

  You can try and allows for stop in the MSConfig Startup tab:

  First, go to control panel, then AutoPlay. Then check the selections of videos, films, etc. and select not "Act".
  Try again and see if Windows Media Center always plays at startup.

  Then, you can stop Windows Media Center to start services.
  Type msconfig (System Configuration) and go to the Startup tab uncheck the Scriptures which has the ehome as path to the command, such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE related services to start upward.

  I would also check the default associations:
  Open the control panel (all items view) and click the default programs.

  Click on the game to link your default programs.
  In the left column, select the program (highlighted) a list that you want to change the associations is default for file.
  To set all Assciations by default in the Program-
  NOTE: This will allow to associate the selected program by default used by Windows 7 to open all types of files and protocols it can open.
  Click set this program as default.
  Click Save to apply.
  Click OK.

  Please answer and give us an update to see whether or not these measures have helped.

  Sincerely,

• Loss of signal HDMI in Windows Media Center

  I have a Dell Studio Hybrid PCs only running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium attached to a Samsung LN52A750 LCD HDTV via HDMI. If I turn on the TV away from the PC input and back, I lose the video signal... but only when Windows Media Center is running in full screen.

  It works fine:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn off the PC.
  6. Turns off the TV (or switch to a different input).

  This also works very well:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Minimize Windows Media Center.
  6. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC.
  7. Turn on your TV to the PC - you see always the computer.

  It does NOT work:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC with Windows Media Center in full screen running .
  6. Try to turn on the TV to the PC - no picture or sound is on the screen and the PC must be restarted to return sound/video fully.

  I came across this problem recently (after the passage of a VGA/DVI to HDMI connection). First of all, I came across it when the PC would go to sleep - the video signal stops and the TV stop see the PC signal, even once the PC is awake. I have read a bit online and thought it was something people call a problem of 'EDID handshake. " I thought simply not let the computer sleep (and do not turn off the PC video) would fix it, but I ran into another issue. Kind of a twist.

  I was showing friends how Media Center worked, I spent in the PC, showed them Windows Media Center, spent in a different entry, then switched back to the PC (because I forgot to show you something). The blue background of Media Center appeared for a split second and the signal was instantly lost. I had to reload completely in order to recover the signal.

  I retried the experience - shot to the top of Media Center, active the TV away from the computer, then it passed right away - same result. Restart lost, hard signal.

  I don't know how I fell on it, but at some point, I had the experience with a twist. I pulled to the top of the computer, started Media Center and reduced. Then I moved the TV away from the PC and back... and the signal was always there. I did it again, and again, the signal was there. The TV turns off and on again - signal always there. Then I enlarged Media Center, changed television away from the PC, and when I came back... NO SIGNAL.

  So: with full-screen Media Center loses the signal, but when Media Center is reduced to a minimum the signal remains.

  I started thinking about how my recent use of the Media Center differed from the previous time. Normally, I use the Media Center, watch a movie or something and then go and do something else. I'm back from PC to something else and back. And every time that I had spent in the PC and he had kept the signal, the screen saver has been on - the screen saver 'bubbles '.

  Something that I noticed with the screensaver "Bubbles" is that it sometimes brings the Windows taskbar in the foreground so it 'up' to the Windows Media Center full screen appears. I usually turn the television on the PC input before "wake the computer" and to get the screensaver to go.

  Now I wonder if the lost signal has something to do with Windows Media Center. I have [I think] know a bit the functioning of Windows and the concept of execution of different 'offices '. I wrote a screensaver in C++ unmanaged long ago and I remember there was some crazy stuff that you have to do when you write an application "windowless" (as Media Center - there is no border around it when it goes full screen) and make the "caches", as the screen saver 'bubbles '. I wonder if he has something to do with the standard Windows Desktop works correctly but the Windows Media Center app full screen "desktop" does not properly.

  I tried another experience where I kept full screen WMC, leave the TV losing signal and press Win + D to minimize and show the desktop. Then I went to the TV in the back. No luck - once the signal has been lost, it was lost for good.

  I did since then research various responses. I read that defining the ACPI suspend mode S3 would fix it, but it doesn't. I tried implementing a keyboard shortcut attached to a script that could change the display resolution of 640 x 480 and then change back because I read changing the resolution to update the signal - which did not work.

  Basically, I got no alternative except to keep WMC reduced when it is not in use.

  I'll try to set the screen saver "Bubbles" to 1 minute or something and see if that will at least let me inputs turn on the TV after one minute of inactivity. Yet, it would be good to know if there is some setting I'm missing.

  Hello Travis and Jmelton98,

  Thank you for posting.  Your tests of Travis and additional post of Jmelton, it seems it will be probably something that only can be set by the video card drivers.  If you were to look at the known issues for some drivers, you would see similar questions types.  It is one of the reasons for the drivers for video cards are updated so often.  Sometimes there will be a problem so important that they will release a special patch to fix (like what happened during the crisis game is released).  There should be a new series of pilots soon become availible.

  Please try and see if the problem persists.  Thank you both for the replies that it will help others too. Zack

• Windows Media Center on a bi-ecrans system

  Hello

  I just started using a second monitor with my computer.

  I tried to watch TV with Windows Media Center on the secondary monitor while I work on other things on the first monitor but when Windows Media Center is in full screen my mouse will not go back to the first monitor. Why? Is there a setting that can change this?

  Please let me know a solution.

  Hello

  It of a pain and has not been a problem up to what MS upgraded to Direcxt X 10.1 under Vista SP1.
  To escape the other screen is possible.  The first solution is that in the answer of MS, but for some reason windows Center media are all 4:3, regardless of the setting of the screen, so you can't put a 'window' almost full screen.
  To escape the "Windows key" success and move the mouse to the other screen and keep clicking somewhere who will not have side effects, etc. Empty office.  When all the windows are installed the cursor will remain on the other monitor and you can work.  Closing windows or any click on Media Center monitor can resume the slider.  Not a perfect solution, but it works.  I got a X 9 compatible graphics card and windows flashed for up to 45seconds (occult, is come, it exploded...) so I've upgraded to a compatible card X10.1 and now it's only a few seconds.  Note your remotes, the active window so most but not all buttons have a local effect, bizzarely some still work the Media Center program.

• Windows Media Center crashes under Remote Desktop connection after the installation of KB2592687

  When you view another computer (Win7 Pro for Win7 Pro) via the remote desktop connection, this (KB2592687) update causes Windows Media Center not start or leave immediately, in both cases briefly showing a popup that reads:

  Windows Media Center has stopped working

  Both computers have installed KB259687.  WMC works by connecting directly to each machine.  If KB259687 is uninstalled on the machine connected remotely via the remote desktop connection, you can run once again, WMC in the distance window.  Note the video is not available, but you are able to verify existing records, change the calendar, see the rack TV, etc. (everything as before).  Records on demand on the PC are working correctly, I had a crash the system (blue screen) apparently because of this.

  Note that there is no problem watching a WMC when using desktop remote connection to a Pro Win8 machine when connected to a machine, Win7 Pro.  WMC is installed on the machine Win8 Pro and is adjustable from inside the Desktop Login window on the Win7 Pro machine remotely.

  I had the same problem, but uninstalling the update didn't fix it for me.   I have studied and found that permissions for key reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp included not all permissions for the users group, just like the other subkeys.  Maybe the update of above RDP modified these permissions?  In any case, when I added for this key for users read permissions, shell new WMC would begin in an RDP session.  I also found this race the ehshell 'as administrator' would work under RDP, but this was not necessary in the past.

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  I would have you refer to the article below:
