  • No sound in Windows XP Media Center Edition

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Service Pack 3. I lost the sound when you try to install Windows Media Player 11. Under the configuration/sounds and devices Panel there is now no device not listed for the Volume, the speaker settings. On the tab for playback Audio, high fidelity, all the options are greyed out - cannot select or change anything. I did the troubleshooting steps and nothing helped. All the devices on the Hardware tab have been checked and they are supposedly correctly, even if I do not hear a thing. I've also updated the Realtek audio drivers and nothing has changed. Help, please!

  • Windows XP Media Center Edition computer will not start.

    When it starts, I get a BootMagic screen that allows me to choose the normal Windows operating system or partition DOS6. The next screen is text offering choices such as: Safe Mode, last known good Windows, normal windows, etc. None of the choices do something else that restart the boot process.
    I have backups of the C: drive in real Image files and ntbackup. I would like to make a bootable cd or dvd with the files needed to be able to copy the data on another dvd or on the local network to another computer. This computer was made by the gateway. No real installation CD were provided, just a "operating system Disk' which is of no use. The disk has been partitioned as C: D: K: etc. I added a 40 GB IDE drive, which is where half the data is I want back. I can 'see' readers when I boot from an old CD disk to Image, but may not see the LAN or write in the CD burner. Basically, should what files I put on a cd to boot?

    Well, almost a month since the gateway computer's dead, and I do not have anything on it. Spent a lot more time for the new computer with Windows 7 to run my most used programs: WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. According to me, that you gave me a choice when I reinstalled Windows 7 to use either 64 or 32-bit. If I had a choice, it is 64. At this point, I wish I had chosen 32, due to all the incompatibilities resulting in 64. I doubt that there are real benefits for me. One thing they point out is his ability to deal with > 4 GB of RAM. This computer has 2.

    What I installed was XP HP discs received with a laptop period of 2002. Probably violates some policy Windows, but my rationalization was that bridge should have on giving me the opportunity to re - install the Windows XP Media Center edition. I prefer to get this OS works because it has a smooth operation built in encryption system.
    I tried to use the provided gateway recovery cd again, but not long after starting it fails with a 'memory overflow, please insert another disk' message. Gateway support has not been cooperative, so I can try again. I think that they have it for me.

    The XP system is running on a 40 GB IDE drive that I had added to the computer. There are too many error messages trying to install an operating system on theoriginal 250 GB SATA drive. Usually the installation of software did not see the SATA drive. He is currently disconnected. It work pretty well in the new computer from HP in the 2nd SATA slot for to retrieve me my data.

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

It is not a problem with the keyboard because it works in start mode. Tried other mouse USB and keyboards all to nothing does not. There are no PS2 port on the machine.
