Power went off looking at the TV Media Center. Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.

Original title: Media Center 2005 Edition

I was watching TV using Media Center on my PC HP Media Center m7367c PC (running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3) when the power went off.   Now whenever I try to watch live TV, the program starts normally but freezes as soon as the audio starts.  The audio works fine, but no picture, the small rotating circle of progress hangs and the screen is frozen.  I can click the X (close Box) and the program closes.   I expect there are only one or two corrupt files that need to be cleaned or replaced.

HP support is to use recovery discs to clear the system and return it to the original configuration.   Given all the software, data and updates, I have to restore, I don't want to go down this road.

I tried running SFC/scannow but Windows XP system discs are needed and the PC vendors ceased to provide systems with their PC discs there are many moons.  I bought Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, but he came on one drive and requests SFC disk #3 while parsing.

I go back to the original driver TV tuner and then updated to the more recent but not joy.  I think that the problem is with a program or file Media Center.  Now when I try to configure the TV signal my cable box is recognized and then as soon as the audio lights, MCE 2005 hangs and the tiny TV screen remains black.

I expect a file Media Center must be cleaned or reset but before I realize FUBAR I thought that he better come on this Microsoft forum and see if someone who knows what they are doing can provide the solution.

Hi, Rudy386MS,

Sorry for the late reply.  Do you have the problem solved?

If Sfc/scannow solicits the disks, then you have corrupt or missing files whose analysis cannot replace or repair.  The alternative is a complete recovery of Windows.

Open the control panel and select Media Center

Click on uninstall

Select the repair option

Click next

Click Finish when you are prompted

See if that helps.  If not, then the recovery process will be needed

Startup of HP systems to screen recovery (repair) when you reboot and start typing the F11 key.  According to me, that it gives you the choice to 'Fix' that leaves your files intact or 'Recover' system that will put you back to 'out of the box' condition.

There is a Recovery Manager in the folder all the HP programs which includes Disc Creator.  You can create your own recovery discs.  I suggest using DVD instead of CD - R.  They allow more memory space.

    Hello nancy milano,.

    Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important is able to complete your update to El Capitan at a later date! The good news is that you can simply delete the "install Mac OS X" install app in the Applications folder on your Mac. Then you can open the Mac App Store when you're ready to update and restart the download from the tab updates or searching through the Mac App Store for El Capitan. This is a resource that explains the process of update more:

  • I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Transfer of license with a twist

    So I've recently upgraded to a new system... Virtually everything has been replaced - the motherboard, RAM, graphics card, processor... Everything but my HARD drive. I want to continue to use my current Vista operating system, but I forgot to turn it off before changing the parts of my PC. Now, whenever I try to turn it on, it says that the license is already in use.

    Is there anyway for me to be able to turn it on for my new rig? Thank you.

    If you have a retail copy of Vista, you must activate by phone.  Click Start, type "slui 4" and press ENTER.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/940315

    If your copy of Vista is preinstalled on your computer, you can't use it with the new motherboard and you will need to purchase a copy of the license full of Windows.  Most of the editions of Vista out of support in two months so consider Windows 7.
