• Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

  Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

  I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

  Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

  Windows Media Center

  "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

  Failed to download

  "The new TV configuration data could not be downloaded. Existing data, if any, will be used as you continue by configuring the TV signal. »

  Downloadable guide is not available

  "Downloadable TV Program Guide listings are not available due to previous failures of download. For more information, right-click on the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open Windows Media Center update log. Select back to try again. You may be able to get the TV show lists, if they are available. »

  Guide download error

  "The Guide could not be downloaded. For more information, then Windows Media Center system tray icon right-click and open Windows Media Center update log. »

  I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

  Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

  The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

  July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

  From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

  My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

  Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

  On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

  The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

  Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.

• Windows Media Center has stopped finding the info guide

  I have Windows Media Center in Windows 7

  It worked very well for a few years, but about 2 months ago it stopped to show the guide.

  When I set to manually record a string at a certain point it works very well.

  I also think that, when I looked in the section regular programs, it shows programs at the request of record (I can check to confirm cela if nec.), but when I go on the Guide grid, maybe 1 or 2 channels appear and IE not avaiable

  I have confirmed that the time is correct and tried to restart, and refresh the guide - but nothing has worked.

  I contacted Zap2It - but they said that it is the Windows Media Center, causing the problem. -any help is appreciated.

  FYI - I just did a full rescan of the tuner and channels - and now it works.

• Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

  Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

  I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

  Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Julie

  Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

  First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

  Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

  My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

  This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

  (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

  All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.

• How can I remove invalid user names typed by mistake, but this show to the top in the window anyway.

  For example, one of my bank sites, there is a window to type the user name. When I have not given attention, I didn't know that I had not touched the button tab and then type the password. Now the name of username/password combo appears in the list in the window and I can't get rid of it. On my laptop, it's Windows 7 + Firefox browser and the bad combo is easily removed. On the desktop, I use Apple MiniMac with the Firefox browser, but deletion does not work. Use the Safari browser to the deletion? I've never use, prefer Firefox. Thank you

  • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

  Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

  Hi lost,

  Try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once don't forget to reset yout system back to the normal state, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.  If you are using XP, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310353.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Security Suite blocking Windows Media center to connect to the Extender

  I was initially a little happy home network with an xbox 360, a wired router and my pc under Windows 7 ULT(64bit) Norton 360 AV. During my AV license expires, I downloaded the version of my ISP (Norton Security Suite 4) to replace.

  Now I can't Media center to add or discover the Extender. I added to Windows Media Center svchost.exe to the list of permitted programs, but it doesn't have the thing.

  In help on the xbox live forums, suggestions are to work with the Windows Firewall not Norton. The Norton software has a different interface for the administration of the rules and I saw not a place where you can designate which programs can access which ports. And half of the programs listed as Qwave, Remote Desktop etc, I can't even find the interface of Norton.

  If anyone knows or has worked this issue before Norton Security suite please respond when you can. Thank you

  This is an example for you to understand the process. The essential 'Address', what is more important than 'address crash' and ' address 1-3' of the battery. I delete the corrupt of this show. So I wonder is that files that are displayed as blue screen of death appear as new files or has been corrupted (not new, but the changes) so that files is important, it is not good to remove it but just fix it? In this case, it is program file, so that files can be removed, but for above I'll list five blue screen of death (at the top of this page and recently), is files computer, more important than the program files. So I can delete files, but it would affect the entire computer? Or fix it? Another thing that is feature computer sank black and can't restart for some time. Thus, the program can cause corrupted files or delete files that is corrupt to become new and separate, which means that it can be? Are there two types of files? SE do not become like nine files can you repair files, but changes or files that become like new but bad files, it can therefore be removed. Thus, since the site Web who say it is the right program or files, but it is good to scan files that can cause of spyware, malware, virus or a program? So, do you know what could be cause of the last blue screen of death to connect to black on computer screen. It's as if I hard harddirve, but this isn't like that. This is exactly the same process of result with old hard drive causing the computer screen black, but this case is different departure process. If you tell me to use the cd, to solve the problem, tell me what cd and if it is a restore cd that say recovery on the cd for xp or more. It is large and clear a word that mean the recovery? If this is the case, I don't have it. Well, don't have no possible, but in case I did not.

• MS Updates caused problems "Media Center has stopped working"

  After the MS Updates this week, we have a problem with our Media Center. We have a HP Touchsmart IQ526 running Vista Home Prem when are connected to the Internet and our local cable system. Everytyhing worked almost without problems because we have installed in January. After that MS Updates this week required a reboot, Media Center stops whenever we change the channel - errors "Media Center has stopped working".  Sometimes when changing positions both with the remote control and with the mouse. Is there anything other than a reinstallation of Vista?  Can you help us?

  Hello Cwray

  Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that scan you a file system [SFC] checker on the computer that would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

  (A) the SFC scan enforcement procedure:
  1. click on the Start button
  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option
  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
  11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.
  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

  http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/default.aspx

  C. I also suggest you to check the boot and if you are able to access the Windows media center.
  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Boot stops interference with other third-party software on the computer.
  Steps to perform the clean boot:
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is solved, check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

• Media Center has stopped working a problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

  Computer: Vista Home Edition Premium, SP2

  My media center of windows worked fine two days ago, but since yesterday, it crashes when I try and run it with the statement "Media Center has stopped working a problem caused the program blocking works correctly." Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. »

  I tried to go back to an older restore point, I tried to pick up the .db file, I've seen people say to delete, but I don't even have that.

  This is the error in the event log
