Only get a white screen with Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player

My Center & Windows Media Player do not work. Only, I get a blank screen. I would like to reinstall, but I don't want to reinstall all Windows Vista Home Premium. How can I reinstall the only Media Center?

Hello, Rob Davis,.

Please check Application, system logs and Event Viewer Security for possible errors for the time that you tried to connect to Windows Media Center. Go to the computer and right click. Select manage. Then select Event Viewer, and then click Windows logs. In addition to this, you can check the newspapers of Media Center under the Application and Services logs. See if you have errors on Media Center.

Then, update your most current video driver. If you have an OEM computer, go to the site such as Dell or Acer, etc. Download the latest for your computer, such as the graphics drivers or video drivers.

Please answer back with an update and let us know if it helps.

Sincerely,

    2. do you get an error message when you try to start in safe mode?


    You can turn off all external devices (except the mouse and keyboard), and then try to start.


    If you are able to start in safe mode, you need to get a windows vista dvd to solve the problem
    If you are able to organize a windows vista dvd, you can perform a startup repair
    You may also contact the computer manufacturer to obtain a windows vista dvd

  • When I start the computer, I just get a white screen. Then I reboot and it says that windows has shut down incorrectly. This happens to every time, how difficulty?

    The screen that comes up when I put it back in operation is one that says windows stopped at unsucessfully you gives the choice to run in safe mode or let it reboot in 30 seconds, and he usually goes right

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    `

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    Hello @Khushal17,

    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I understand that your laptop fan is running faster than normal and that all lights are flashing. I'd love to help you in this case!

    As a fan of hyperactivity is symptomatic of internal overheating, I recommend that you follow the steps described in this document on the reduction of heat inside the PC to avoid overheating. I also suggest to take a look at this resource: computer does not start and the lights blink or computer beeps, to determine the reason behind the blinking light caps lock.

    If the CAPS LOCK flashing indicates a hardware problem, or the fan continues to run at high speed, please call our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

    No,

    What you have done, is to change this:

    MENU

    TO:

    MENU

    You have NOT closed the

    If the browser is to calculate where the closure
    and think it's the end of the code - id "cont2" is hidden on the loading of the page (this is your menu) all your code becomes hidden.

  • I have just a white screen with complete audio on Windows Media Player.

    Original title: sound, no video

    I ordered a series of dog training DVD.  When I went to download the premiera and play via Windows Media Player, I have audio, but the captain was missing, just a screen dance of psychedelic images.  I've screwed around a bit and go get rid of it, but now I just have a white screen with complete audio.

    Thinking I need a plug in I released on bail and downloaded the same clip on my laptop. Same thing, only it started with a white screen.  I doubt that this is a problem with the link, but he has seen it happen on 2 different puters a wonder.  I am running Vista on my desk, I think it is XP on the laptop.

    Help?

    Hi Dave,.

    I suggest you to follow the steps from the link and check if it helps.

    Hello

    Try a new installation of the Flash plug-in as follows.

    First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    Flash Player Uninstaller.

    Once the download is complete, close all the browser windows, open your downloads folder and run the program uninstaller.  Once done, restart the laptop.

    Then (unless you already have it), download and install Firefox , then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You can deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.

    Close all browser windows before you run the installer of Flash.

    Start Firefox and see if the videos etc. play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same link Adobe Flash above to get a command prompt to install the Flash component.  Once completed, restart Internet Explorer.

    Kind regards
