Problems adding our HP Media Extender for Windows Media Center

Hello, we have about 15 HP Media Extenders (MEX) laying around the place, connected to 2 x Win 7 computers laptops and 1 x Vista desktop, all running Windows Media Center.

Previously, the MEXs all the connected without problems on the computers in the library, but for some reason, they do not want to connect now.  What happened was I uninstalled all MEXs on the Vista computer as they were all saying disabled and did not know how to enable them again, so I thought that all delete and just add.

But the thing was, I did not add that Vista Media Centre, outside of the Xbox 360.  But I managed to add a bit of MEXs in other media Centres.  I also noticed there is a Media Center W7 which seems to be able to add when the other two cannot.  The error messages I received were: "an error occurred during the configuration of your computer with the Extender" or "Unable to Find Media Extender.

I'm not under a firewall on all computers, or the other.

Sorry if I missed any information.  Thank you for your help.

Hello Robert,.

Windows Media Center should look at the file's existing database of the same Media Center once you have disabled the feature and he re-enabled.

I have a lot of disk space and tried to repeat the time where there are no installation. I use wireless which is a power connection (seems to be the specific network), but connect to the internet using the cable has not solved the problem either. Help, please. Thanks for your time.

  • Transfer the Software Photoshop CS6 extended for Windows Edition student from a Windows PC to a Mac

    I bought Photoshop CS6 extended for Windows Edition for my PC online student year last of Curry of PC World. I was told, at the time of purchase, that I would be able to transfer this software from my PC to a Macbook. I've now bought the Macbook and would like to transfer the software on my old Windows PC on my new Macbook. Please could I have assistance for that purpose. thank you!

    You don't mention who told you you can transfer the software, but I suspect it wasn't someone from Adobe.  Versions are platform-specific, so there is little chance of the installation of the version of Windows on a Mac without the use of a Windows emulator any.  Since it is CS6, you have the possibility to request an exchange of platform.  See the following...

    Product change or the language platform

    You can exchange languages/platforms for a newer version product if you follow the instructions on the following link:

  • Is there a possibility that MusicBrainz can be added as a data provider for Windows Media Player

    When you use Windows Media Player, I was hurt a lot to identify my music. A lot of music I have is not available in the Microsoft music meta service database. What gives? Would be nice if Microsoft could be added to their database. MusicBrainz is a big data provider for Windows Media Player and would make it easier for information about the available media. Data MusicBrainz are permitted in the public domain and some under Creative Commons (CC) license. I don't think that Rovi has a contract saying to Microsoft data to use. I can cite other data in addition to the AMG providers: Journal of CD Japan, CD newspaper China, ZACR DBS and feedback from users. I can almost guarantee you if Microsoft used the MusicBrainz data, Windows Media Player would be much easier for the Organization of the music. Data MusicBrainz are much better quality than WMP user feedback data.

  • Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
    When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
    When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
    With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
    However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
    I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

    Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

  • UPnP search fails when adding Xbox 360 Media Center Extender

    First of all, I spent a week looking for a solution to this so if I missed something obvious, I apologize.

    My xbox has been connected as a media center extender to this combination of the computer and the router for several months now. The router is a WII-HP-G300NH Buffalo. Earlier this week the media center extender was having video playback problems. After restarting the computer, the Extender was is no longer connected.

    When I try to add a new extension unit I get the message "unable to add extender. Microsoft says to activate upnp and multicast. Check. Reflashed firmware dd - wrt. No luck. Back to buffalo firmware. No luck. Try an old Linksys WRT54GL I hang out. No luck.

    The event recorder has this error: "Media Center Extender Setup has failed as the Extender has been detected on the network unsuccessfully searching for UPnP for the Extender (timed out after 20000ms)." Event ID: 538

    Now, I did everything I could find on the activation of network discovery, anything allowing to access media and these. Network and sharing Center is located about large open. I also tried switching between home and work networks.

    That said, I decided to check and see what updates have been installed. It turns out that an update has been applied on the day, that I started to have problems. It is said that it can not be uninstalled. Description Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation software item updated

    Note: I have no system restore points. Small SSD and has not taken the time to understand how to save elsewhere.

    That's all the information I have. I convinced myself that it is not the router via the steps described above and that it is something to do with the computer. Help?

    FIXED.

    Reinstalled NIC drivers.

  • Problems to install the latest updates for windows vista.

    I ran several times automated convenience store. It corrects all but one of the problems found. It is said: problems installing updates, not been resolved in the report.

    I tried to restart the computer, but that did not help either.

    When I run windows update acts as he checks the updates, but does no progress. It is used to take a long time (2 1/2 hours or more) to find the updates. Now just, it works and does not stop.

    I did a manual reset of the update program earlier and it worked, but after the restart to install the updates, the computer would not start up.  I reformatted the computer by reinstalling the software and updates of everything. After obtaining service pack 2, Vista it starts having problems again.

    I'm just trying to get the secure computer til our new we get in about 2 weeks.

    I looked at other messages, but they are not quite the same thing. Most are for Windows 7, so I wonder about their usefulness.

    4. do you have a free trial Norton, or a test of free McAfee [a] come preinstalled on the computer When you bought it? (No matter if you have never used or activated).

    5a. is Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), IE8 or IE9 installed?

    5 b. assuming that IE9 => what Version & KB number update are displayed in the second line of text using IE9. [Alt + H + A] tab. for example, Updated Version: 9.0.54 (KB9876543) ?

    • Starting January 12, 2016, IE9 is the only version of support in the future. If IE8 or IE7 is still installed, the computer will not be available in new updates.

  • I have a problem with installing the driver bluetooth for Windows 8.

    Original title: cannot install the bluetooth driver

    I have Windows 8 Pro 64-bit (upgrade of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit).  I have problems with the bluetooth (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6230) driver that will not be installed.  The

    error I get when using the driver (downloaded directly from Intel) Intel says "did not write the SupportDLL value in the \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BTHPORT\Parameters key.

    \Radio support.  Check that you have sufficient access to that key or contact your support team. »

    Windows Update also displays several times this driver, but it fails to install as well.  If I remember correctly, the error is "access denied."  I contacted Microsoft earlier

    technology has taken control away from my computer and found the same problem.  It disabled all startup and restarted, but we do not have to reconnect after reboot, that's why I'm

    contact you again.  I'm guessing that something has gone wrong in the remake because precisely, I noticed it has disabled my facial recognition software, yet when he

    restarted, it took even my face.

    I am logged as administrator and I have also tried to right click on the .exe file and run as administrator, but it does not help.  I tried

    uninstall/reboot/reinstall with no luck.  I also tried several programs microsoft fix - it, but even once, no, I also tried to contact Intel by CAT and they

    were no help either.

    I tried also to navigate to this key in the registry editor, but I get an error message that says "error opening key.  Parameters cannot be opened.  An error is

    This key prevents open.  Details: access denied. »

    Finally, I'm frustrated and ran a repair of Windows 8 (could not restore because when I upgraded to Windows 8 Windows 7, somehow restorations have been disabled and I did not notice for about a month).  Then, I used the bluetooth driver directly from intel and everything works again.  I will say that when I ran the repair, he removed Windows Media Center (since it is therefore more part of the OS, but an add-on), but it's a very small price to pay for everything works correctly.

    Thanks for the help everyone!
