• remote control will not access the letters in media center in Windows 7

  I use Media Center with Windows 7.   When you use the command remotely (RC6) multiple key does not rely on the number buttons should afford letters on access keys, but all I get is multiple insertions of the number.  My old Media Center XP computer worked correctly.  I can access letters OK using my keyboard but that is rather cumbersome to use in the living room and I prefer to get the remote control works properly.

• Download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition?

  I want to download Windows Media Center in Windows XP Home Edition. I can do or do I have to install Windows XP Media Center Edition? If I install XP Media Center Edition can just move from Windows XP Home Edition?
  Thank you!

  There is no such thing as a download of MCE to XP Pro or home.

  You may be able to find an upgrade, if you search the Web.

  Operating system upgrades are not a good way to go, always better to have the full version.

  Since MCE is an older version, you can find now a lot cheaper than it used to be.

• my media center to windows took over my computer

  I ACCIDENTALLY DOWNLOADED THE WRONG THING AND NOW I CAN NOT GET WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER TO STOP IT TOOK ON MY DESKTOP ALL

  I accidentally downloaded the wrong thing and now I can not get windows media center to stop it took on my desktop all

  From what you have stated above, I think that the file association for LNK files has been given misdirection to the Media Center. I've seen this happen when opening a program via a shortcut (for example. LNK file), you are asked what type of program to open it with. After selecting the Windows Media Center (or another program) via the Select a program from a list of programs installedand check always use the selected program to open this type of file (circled in red below), the document or program referenced by the shortcut of origin opens in Windows Media Center as it should.

  

  The problem is that now all shortcuts (for example. LNK files) on the desktop or in the browser will want to be opened by Windows Media Center and Windows Media Center icon to view the shortcut no matter what shortcut was originally intentioned to open. This is known as a file association and the default icon. The same condition can occur if you have performed these actions 'Open with' on one. JPG or even a. EXE, but the. LNK explanation is much more likely for the items on the desktop.

  The good news is that a small free utility was written to cancel the. LNK file association was created. There is also a registry hack to achieve, but I recommend the utility unAssoc for its ease of use. I used to send people on another site to download this utility, but this site has become confused with all the ads and fake download links. I put a copy on by SkyDrive own here.

  

  Just download, then use the utility to unassociate the. LNK files for the user or globally delete the file type and let windows rebuild a new default.

• Cannot change the sections of recorded TV, TV was recorded by Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  I have problems with sections of editing a stored program recorded TV in Windows Media Center on Windows 7.

  I can't find all the options to change the records as it is on my PVR on Media Center. I can't even open the record with another program like Nero to edit & find Windows Live Movie Maker is very limited, it allows to cut the ends of the records not the sections in the middle.

  Can someone tell me what program or how do I do it (& where to find)?

  Media Center has not all means of editing recorded TV. I don't know if you
  will have more luck if you convert DVR - MS and then try Nero. To convert,
  view the TV folder in Windows Explorer and click with the right button on the show.
  then convert DVR - MS to view on the shortcut menu.  Video reDo might work
  as well. Try posting on thegreenbutton.com forums if this does not resolve your
  issue. See the son as http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/85953/432209.aspx

• Cannot play movies/recorded shows in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  Three years ago I bought a Sony laptop with Vista and an external tuner ATI so that with a CableCARD, I could use Windows Media Center to record shows/movies. I recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 and found that the Windows 7 PC cannot read the 500 films/shows that have been saved and the new Windows 7 recorded shows can be played by the Vista laptop. Is any way to convert or run natively these shows that have been saved under the WMC?

  Hi RalphGreenlee,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  If I understand correctly, you are unable to play back movies recorded in windows media center.

  Looks like the file cannot not supported by Media Center or you need a codec to right.
  What type of video file format?
  Also check the videos if there are other formats to the choice other than the one you have now.

  Method 1:
  Step 1:
  Indicate the file types supported by Windows Media Center:
  Types of files supported by Windows Media Center:

  Try using a good set of codecs and then try to burn video files.

• Windows Media Center - I'd do lilke SciFi tv shows (programming) downloaded in the "Internet TV & guide" area of Windows Media Center for Windows 7

  How a person is new issues added to the Media Center for Windows 7. I wish that programs of Science Fiction (Scifi) added to the section 'Internet Tv and English' Media Center. Thank you.

  Unfortunately, this is between the owners of content/broadcasters and
  Microsoft. There are changes from time to time about what is available, but we
  as end users, have no say in what is available at any time. You may want to
  at the start of Netflix (there is a free trial version). While doing not part of Media Center.
  You can use a web browser to http://www.syfy.com/rewind/ where some shows are
  available (according to).

  How to get windows media Center in windows developer preview?

  Media Center has been temporarily removed from the Windows 8 Developer Preview. It will be added in the scheduled beta end February 2012.

  Media Center

  While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

  Hi Bevtravel,

  Windows Media Center on Windows XP, like Windows 7, can use external USB TV Tuner to watch/record TV. Make sure that external USB TV Tuner is compatible with the version of Windows Media Center that you have on your computer (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.).
