Recently I had to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and Windows Media Center displays now is no longer the Netflix app.

Also, it does not display the internet tv options.  He displayed a week before I did reinstall it, so why not now?  When I go the the media center Web site and try opening netflix from there he tells me to upgrade to Windows 7.  The upgrade is not an acceptable answer, because this isn't a free solution to a problem that did not exist last week.  I turned on automatic downloads, I clicked the download now, so everything should be updated.  How can I get the dos applications?

  • Visual effects in Windows Media Center displays white screen

    Earlier, when I want to play music from Windows Media Center, I was able to select the Visual effects and had a view that would go with the music (Alchemy, scratches & waves, battery) then I ran a Windows Update, which included an update for Media Center I can still play the music but when I when I select "Visual effects (, Visualisierungen in German) I get only a blank screen.

    Received a response from Microsoft Answers, thank you for your response. Have tried all your advice without success. I ran the upgrade was "update for Windows 7 for x 64 system (KB2641690) November 13 2011.Even tried to install a new administrator, and it did not work. Uploaded a new video driver from ATI with success. I went back to an earlier version of system restore, our system automatically makes a return every three days and this did not help. I'm an American living in Germany, so our computer is a Toshiba L670D-105 German, Product Code PS3NE - 005001GR. Finally, I did a search through our system for the chemistry files, stripes and waves (strip und Wellen in German) and battery (battery) and the search gave no results. Is it possible that these files were erased during the update process? In the configuration menu of the Media Center, I can select these files and save the settings, but I have still no visual effect when I play music. If this is the problem how can I get back those files?

    Thank you for your efforts

  • Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

    Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

    I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

    "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

    my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

    scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

    rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

    No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

    automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

    that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

    and ASUS.

    I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

    Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.

    On windows media Center, there is no spot on the home screen menu to allow me to add extender? Can anyone offer advice?

    Hi Halam.

    Thanks a lot for your help on this. I don't know if this method would work as I finally found a solution after hours of playing with different settings and downloads. For others who are trying, I found that you need the rollup2 update (which I got) If you have this, go to this link www.xbox.co:80 / fr-U.S./PCSetup/MCE05Lite and follow the instructions. I don't know if it works for the extension, however it worked to use my xbox as an Extender.

    Now, I have these two pairs, unfortunately I have a new problem. As the menu tasks is not yet here, that I can't go on an Internet browser. Basically I try to videos from websites to my tv via my xbox and I have found a method to be very simple to do, if the menu tasks was on my version of windows media Center. If anyone can offer advice on this, I would be very grateful.

    Open your Start menu by pressing the Windows key and type FEATURES in the search box. Select 'Windows turn features on or off ". When the Panel opens, expand the category "Media Features" and place a check in the box "Windows Media Center". You may need to restart after Windows reconfigures itself.

  • Windows Media Center displays/does not play videos in folders of same accurate as they have always been saved

    Videos that previously played by Windows Media Center (which came installed on my laptop) suddenly stopped appearing in Windows Media Center records, although some videos (very few) are always show and play exact same files on my hard drive as videos which stopped working.

    I don't know that I did something to cause this, although maybe I did, inadvertently, or certain updates or new facilities caused program.

    Please help, I use Windows Media Center as my main videos media player. Windows Media Center is not connected to a TV, just use it as a media player on my laptop.

    He also noted - I recently moved several files from my hard drive to an external drive, if it will be of any significance.

    Thank you.

    you go into media center tasks and add new locations to
    storage/libraries? some external drives can be a problem, too.
     
    best bet is a system restore. You can CANCEL a system restore if it does not work.

  • Windows Media Center displays always removable drives

    Hello.  I have been in charge of research and the research but can't find any information on that.  I have Vista and you use Media Center mainly for videos on the TV display.  I set up the folders to monitor and computer-limited to only public folders and another folder elsewhere.

    My problem is that when I plug in an external USB drive, Media Center gives the user full access to all of its content.  Everything!  I never want this, at least not for some readers.  Is there a way that this can be avoided?

    In addition, Media Center displays always the C: drive.  It does not show all of the content, only some system files, but it's still annoying.

    I find it very disappointing that Media Center is to give the user access to the folders that I didn't authorize.  I need complete and total control on it.

    For any help or suggestions would be welcome!

    Hi Jeff

    Media Center will show all files located on the external drive when you go to the configuration section which folders are "monitored", however, when you go to music or images, for example in Media Center, it must 'only' showing the folders in which you marked to be looked at.  You declare that is to show all records in the field of music and pictures of media center?
