• Error 80040154 from Windows Media Center Receiver Service

  Had this problem now for awhile on Vista Home Premium SP2 - when you start Media Center, I see low-resolution logos and control icons and when I run the application 'Live TV' I get the error ' files needed to display video are not installed or working properly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I tried SFC/scannow with no apparent violation in system files, but verification of the services I can not manually start Windows Media Center Receiver Service and get the error "Windows could not start the service Windows Media Center Receiver Service on local computer" with "error: 80040154 class not registered" listed.

  This is getting frustrating - all wisdom?

  Please repost your question in the Discussion Windows Media Center Group to: http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windows.mediacenter where the Media Center experts will be happy to help you.

• Receive the error "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed" after the video card replaced

  I have a HP computer with Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) Service Pack 2.  He has a VISX PureTV tuner card and already had an NVidia GeForce 8400 graphics card.  This Setup has worked well for 2.5 years until what the graphics card died last week.  It has been replaced with an ATI Radeon HD3450 and both all Windows updates have made current.  Since that time, the TV tuner did not work.

  When you sign in to an account, it gives the error message "Windows Media Center Receiver Service stopped working and was closed".  I can use Media Center to watch the recorded video before, but if I try to watch live TV he hangs up and close Media Center.  If I try to configure the TV connection in Media Center it tells me that there is no tuner card.

  I looked at the map and see no problem and I tried it back in place.  He has the most up to date drivers (so does the new Radeon graphics btw).  I tried "Uninstall" in the Manager of devices and then put it back, but it was not good.

  "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Stopped Working and was closed" I tried all the fixes I've seen this error.

  I tried all the things I saw here and elsewhere related to this issue.  I did a "clean boot" with all non-Windows services and the disabled startup process.  He always did the same thing and gave the same mistakes.  It seems to be linked to a Windows service, and I hesitate to begin deactivation to track down.

  I ran 'sfc' in mode 'cmd' and he found no problem and none of the files to be fixed or could not fix.

  In the list of services, I changed the login for "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" to "Local System account", Local Service, Network Service and individual accounts, but no permits.

  I'm afraid I'm at the point of having to reload the Vista, but I don't know how to do this and want to avoid at all costs.  I don't have the recovery disks and software.  Is this enough?  Can I reinstall from the recovery disks without wiping everything aft of the configuratiion with which it was delivered?  I guess personal files will be OK (although I don't know this for sure), but I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall other applications, my family has developed over time and perhaps lose the media protected by DRM licenses.

  Someone has encountered anything like this or have any suggestions?

  Well, I finally stumbled into the solution.  It was caused by a conflict with another application.

  A few weeks before the card failure I had installed a program called video capture Replay Video Capture that I had bought a few months ago and never used.  However, at this time where everything including the TV tuner and Media Center worked well that's why I associate the problem with this software.  The problem comes after the system is rebooted the first time after installation.  In my case, it has not been rebooted until a few weeks later as part of the recovery of the fault of the graphics card.  Suddenly, the TV tuner did not work and I get the error messages mentioned in this title of the thread.

  I was at the end of my rope with this and was just to clean your system to do a reformat and reinstallation.  I uninstalled the Replay Videa Capture program to move it to another computer, and when you restart the computer I noticed that the error message disappeared.  Of course I went to the Media Center and could set up my TV tuner card and watch television.

  Looking for some info on this conflict, I found the following. (http://forum.applian.com//showthread.php?847-Conflicts-between-RVC-and-XP-Media-Center-OS&s=c0aec9897b51d550c47b919e73e59bfc)  It is difficult to say who is at fault in the present.  I'm sure that Microsoft accuses Applian for the encoder to mpeg (mcm2ve.ax) used in Replay Video Capture, while Applian says that the problem is a Windows process (ehrec.exe) that works all the time, hogging the tuner on the system device.  According to Applian other products similar to theirs have this conflict as well due to the process of Windows.

  Fortunately, there is a solution in this case.  Applian has released a new version of Replay Video Capture (version 4.2) that uses a different mpeg encoder and eliminates the problem.  Given the surprising lack of info about it on the Microsoft Web site, I wonder how many other people with this unresolved issue dealing with the same thing as me.  If you're like me and you don't usually need to reboot your PC for a few weeks at a time, you may never know to associate the problem with the application.  What a waste countless hours trying to diagnose, and most disconcerting, that's what I was about to go through a reformat and reinstall because of this.

  Thought I'd post here my problem resolution in the hope that it might help someone else.

  To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.

• Qosmio G20: Questions on MCE Recovery CD/DVD

  A few months back, I bought this laptop Qosmio G20. It s cool. I live in Asia where media center edition is not launched with this series. I have a Windows XP home edition with this laptop. Can someone tell me if it is possible for me to format this OS and install MCE on this laptop? And where I could get a recovery cd/dvd edition of Media Center? What is the procedure to install Media Center Edition of restore cd if I get a? And someone wants to share their media center edition cd recovery with me would be great.

  pls contact me on this email address [email protected]

  Thank you very much (:)

  Hello Anand

  AFAIK only devices with tuner TV have installed MCE and you can get the MCE OS recovery CD if you bought it with the Toshiba unit. If your laptop comes with Windows XP Home you can only get this form of recovery CD service partner. However, you can use the original cd of Microsoft Windows MCE. Then you can try to download all of the necessary drivers from the Toshiba site.

• "Windows Media Center Receiver service stopped working and was closed" - Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

  Several times, I get the error message "Receiver Service Windows Media Center has stopped working and was closed".  Windows then search a problem and suggests that I run the update.  I run the automatic update and am completely up to date.

  Any ideas of what could be the cause?

  Thank you

  Then, I found my problem.  I have installed the Tivo Desktop Plus.  The codecs it uses to convert to different formats somehow in conflict.  So, I had to rename some of the files and he immediately recognized my Tuner card and Media Center is back to life.

• HP Pavilion Media Center m7580: HP Pavilion Media Center m7580n recovery disks

  I have an old HP Pavilion m7580n Media Center, provided with Windows XP - I put it to update to Vista Ultimate (64-bit). I wish she were bacek to a very basic Windows OS XP, any suggestions? Do you think I can buy a new XP license, or can I use my product key for XP? I can't find any Revoery disc. ANY help would be appreicated - thank you.

  You are the very welcome.

  You should have no problem with that, and your PC will run probably better, because a 64-bit operating system requires more memory and disk space to run a 32 bit OS only.

  Given that your PC can take up to 4 GB of memory, there is no advantage to run an operating system to 64-bit on it.

• Qosmio G20: Question about networking & monitor in and Xbox

  Just bought a G20 last week and I'm in love. First laptop I've ever owned and its worth every penny.

  A few scarecrows.

  I never received an antenna adapter to connect my in arial, but I'm sure I sohuld of fact. In the quick start manual of what it listed everything that I should received in the pack, and who was listed. Was not enough one - if anyone knows a number to contact Toshiba and get one of these sent to me? Can't seem to find one anywhere.

  Second... I'm going to my brother's computer network. Novice course of network, it does not work that well. I'm not sure whether if we need a router? I just want to connect to his computer and use the internet through that. As you would with a network cable. So he bought himself a wireless network card... but we'll be buggered if we can get it too work. Any advice or a definitive guide... or do we this router after all?

  And thirdly, sorry for the long post, but I'm playing my Xbox by the G20, but I'm having no luck what so ever. I plugged the monitor using the three composite cards (white, yellow and red) but nothing that passes through. The only way I've seen a photo is when you set up a decoder and it happens in a small box when its analyses for channels... but I can't select to see and it seems s delay 1 second.

  Sorry for the post long-term... just try to make it all sorted.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  You are right that the Qosmio is a very nice unit.
  But I'm not sure about the antenna adapter. I found the information in the user manual that the antenna adapter is optional. In this case the adapter will not always come with the laptop, but you can ask that the Toshiba service partner.

  Well well, on the network connection: If you want to connect two computer, you need a crossover network cable if you don t use the router. In addition, two laptop computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must manually set the IP address, the default gateway and the subnet mask in the internet protocol TCP/IP properties.

  On the Xbox:

• Qosmio G20: Question on the status of RAID

  Small question. I want to determine if the RAID is completely disabled on my G20 (2 x 100 GB hard drives).

  When I reinstalled the operating system from the recovery disks in the RAID set up, I chose the option of two independent hard drives so they now drive C & D with Mac on C and D data on.

  If I go to the RAID console, it says "Can not get status", so I guess that the RAID is completely disabled but I wanted to just make sure.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you are right. You need at least 2 disks for a raid configuration to choose two independent disks made (off since raid), and your raid is not enabled. Good day.

• HP pavilion dv6103nr, windows xp media center edition, recovery

  I get this error message "Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...". Please reinstall a copy of the above file' the file name changed after I tried a system restore and is currently \system32.hal.dll I tried several different things, but I'm still stuck on this black error screen, and windows does not start.  At the end of the day, I just want to get to all the photos on my old laptop that I'm kicking myself for not backup

  My 10 year daughter, was the last who has used the laptop and said that she was just using ms word.

  Here's what I've tried so far.

  Hard reset

  You press f10 to access the PhoenixBIOS Setup utility.  A go from there ran a "first hard drive Self Test" this reported success, but still does not start correctly

  You press f11 go to the "restoration of the PC" (I think that I created years recovery disks when I bought the laptop, but have no idea where they are) went in the advanced-> Windows System Restore Options.  That said it needs to restart and brings back me to the black screen

  You press f11 to go to the recovery of the PC again.  This time only used the default value and click Next.  Apparently this default option does not remove the data files on the pc.  This lasted about an hour, rebooted and took back me to the black screen but with another missing file. Don't you remember what was the last file.

  Any ideas on what to try next?  Maybe I should find a way to connect to the hard drive without the laptop?  Thank you very much.

  I promised myself now not to delete images from my camera memory card/photo until I supported the up... twice

  Hello:

  I think you have to remove the HARD drive and put it in an external USB box to get the data out of it.

  If you try a system recovery, it would erase all files and restore the system as the day it left the factory.

  Something like that would be what you need for the portable player SATA that your PC comes with.

  Then just plug it into another PC and copy your files off the power.

  I doubt you'll get up to start the laptop.

  Once you get the data out, and if you do not find the recovery discs, you did, you can get factory HP recovery of this 3rd third-party disks.
