• All of a sudden no sound in Windows Media Center, video playback. No problem with the same files in media player

  My windows media center vista has all of a sudden start to turn off randomly and restart by itself, about 3 weeks ago.  Now, he has lost his.  When I'm going through orders, no sound.  Video games, no sound.  I can still get sound for mp3, but not video.  I can play the same video in media player without any problem.  Can anyone help?  I have Vista Ultimate, service Pack2.

  Hi Doramon,

  Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

  What are the file extensions you are trying to play?

  This could happen because some of the types of files supported by Windows Media Player are not supported by Windows Media Center.

  To check the file types supported by Windows Media Center please visit the below given link:

  Types of files supported by Windows Media Center

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/file-types-supported-by-Windows-Media-Center

  You can also try and run the System File Checker tool. This would be in repair of the system files that may be damaged.

  Scan SFC 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 User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before 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. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

  This would take care of the issue that you are facing.

• Media Center 2005 crashed I loaded Windows XP sp2. Installing XP cannot load explorer.exe and another dll file... Need help or information on how to request recovery of microsoft disk MC2005... Gateway has not.

  Help please... I have a gateway gt4024 designed with Media Center 2005. Recently, the system was not "acting accordingly so I tried to reload the OS." I realized that I didn't have the recovery disc, then I decided to load XP Professional I had on it. The law on the computer is as it has been installed correctly and then I get a message saying explorer.exe could not be loaded properly or the drive perhaps is corupted and the same message to another .dll file. Once completed, I can reboot and use the computer, but then the windows installer will not work and the drivers are still present on the hard drive. Now, I loaded the new operating system before and I know that pilots are not supposed to be always present on the system. I then put a new hardrive has had the same problem. So, I then took the hardrive and placed in another computer that was be a dell and load xp fine without error. Can someone point me in the right direction. I contacted gateway to another Media Center recoverydisk, but they said because the computer was no longer under warranty, that they did not have the specified disc and to contact Microsoft. A link would be useful.

  BizzyBidnez,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  Here is a link to the replacement of media information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246
  However, since the entrance to the bridge of your system, the product key may not work with a replacement non - OEM drive.  I'm surprised that the bridge was not able to provide a replacement drive.

  I hope this helps. Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

• Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

  Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

  I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
  "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

  My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

  I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

  I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

  I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

  The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

  On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  Any help would be really appreciated!

• Netflix in Media Center returns a 'there was a problem of data recovery. "Check the works of your internet connection and try again" error instead of loading Netflix data.

  context: a previous thread with an identical title never responded, the problem just disappeared.  Well its been two weeks since then and the problem came back.

  somethings which may or may not apply: internet TV seems to work better in media center.  All updates have been applied to H.P. of Vista SP2. Netflix works fine in ie8 (such as the internet, of course). Tried to delete all the Internet Options, delete browsing history section of Internet Explorer. I get the same error message with my windows 7 professional media center, but netflix seems to play anyway (no game with vista). I recently installed quicktime alternative 2.72 to see what it was and how it worked, then removed and put back in quicktime.

  Tried / symptoms:

  -Remove all the browsing history (econcepts)
  -Same message on Win7pro but works even when (econcepts)
  -Works on Win7 no problem (omegafiler)
  -Works in ie 8 (econcepts)
  -Works in crome (Martin TX)
  -Consensus is that it started around December 30, 2009 (GeoffG1, johnetX, me)
  -Remove and reinstall silverlight (omegafiler)
  -Remove and replace netflix plugin (omegafiler)<- how="" did="" you="" do="" that="">
  -Netflix says: microsoft problem (Nitestalker)
  -Microsoft is silent (this thread - on vacation?)
  -Same problem on 32-bit and 64-bit VMC (JRSMiamiFL)
  -No applied update (johnetx)<- perhaps="" date="" related="" or="" drm="" date="">
  -Disconnect from netflix, you reconnect again - ultimately the same error (chicagokiwi)
  -Tried to reduce the number of items in the queues to well below the limit of 200 (econcepts)
  -Tried the register / unregister the third wire procedure, no joy (does not break anything else however)
  -Disabled the firewall, no change (econcepts)

  Someone else knows Netflix not being is not able to connect?  It started yesterday (30/12/2009) for me.  I looked fine the day before without problem.  The message I get says "there was a problem of data recovery.  Check the works of your internet connection and try again. Ok.  I make it work with both my VMC - one with the service pack and the other without.  My OS updates have been loaded in early December, so I don't see how this could it be.  I searched and found this problem has come up before, but I have not found a solution.  I made NO changes to my HTPC.

  Those who have and solved this problem.

  UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE *.

  2009-01-05 has attempted to start Netflix this morning and you know, it works on both my VMCs.  That's the good news.  So now the real questions are:

  Only 20 people reported it as a problem and only 6 on the green button.  I believe that it affected all the world with Media Center.  So why not discussed much?

  It already happened, causes a stir and silently slips without known cause or cure.  How can we find out what caused this and how to prevent it from happening again in the future?

• Help me install Recovery vista disc Xp Media Center manufactured PC

  Hello

  My pc came with windows xp media center edition. According to hp, I had to have the free vista upgrade if I had bought my pc until March 15, 2007.

  But I bought on 19 April 2007, so that they do not give me Windows Vista. I've been running on XP thereafter. Now I can borrow the friend Vista recovery disc and and install, but I don't know how to do this. If I need to change some settings in BIOS or not?

  I want my PC should work as if it came with vista only (d: recovery, Casked etc.)

  If in the case where I feel happy with vista, I also want to go back to XP MCE.

  Please help me to do the process.

  My model No. is the m7581in flag.

  You need not update BIOS to install Vista. If you do not experience problems addressed by the update, you don't need it.

  Before installing Vista, take your recovery disk set, so you can go back to XP if necessary. An another suggestion_Windows 7 must be released in a few months. I've been running the BETA-test version of this since Jan and now the recently published CR. It has some improvements on Vista. I would wait a few months for Windows 7.

  Create a set of recovery disks:

• Pavilion Media Center 8050Cla needs Vista reinstalled from D (recovery)

  I need to go back to factory State because someone has installed Windows 7 while I was absent and it is an illegitimate copy. I can only access D using an emergency boot disk that I created while Vista was still there. However, that seems to work. He invites me to look for BONES and I say Yes and she finds Vista C Windows 7 and D. I select D and it starts the recovery, but wants 'fix' but I want to install. More he says I will be repairing Windows 7 (maybe that's the name of Volume of C?) and asks him to choose me a user or administrator. Those running under Windows 7. Does it matter? I do not know the Admin password if there a.

  Well, that's when I stepped back. I stopped before selecting a user. Any advice? D is not seen in the boot parameters or the recovery of Windows in the Control Panel, just through this DVD of Paragon, I did. Oh, also, if I have it works, no idea if Media Center will be part of the reinstall? Appreciate the advice.

  When you request support, please provide the number full name or product model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

  The information requested above are at the back, the side or the bottom of your computer, or on the BIOS boot screen. Please DO NOT include your serial number. Please enter the product/model information consumer HP Online Support page and post it here for our review.

  You can try typing the key 'F' used to 'Recovery' immediately after turning on the computer. This may invoke the "HP Recovery" partition which can return the computer to a factory State. Alternatively, you can try to use the Windows Disk Management Console to mark or set the HP Recovery partition as active and restart your computer. Please see HP - partitioning and names of hard drives (Windows 7) for more information on using the Windows Disk Management Console. After reboot, the computer should start HP recovery process. After retrieving a factory like the computer state, you should be able to create your personal HP recovery discs if you have not already done so.

  

  Both of these methods require that the computer still has the "D:\". "Intact and unaltered HP recovery partition. If none of these methods work, you will need to contact support HP customer or third party provider ComputerSurgeons.com to the order of HP recovery disks.

  Original title: WMC no longer works after update of August 10

  Windows Media Center has stopped working after installation of my Windows 7 Professional pc all 11 updates gave me on August 11, 2010. I used system restore to the day before the updates, and install them individually. The first 9 no trouble with WMC. But the IE8 KB982664 for Windows 7 compatibility view list caused my action center to report that I needed to check the undeclared solutions to problems. WMC would still start. But after installing KB983590 .NET framework 3.5.1 for Windows 7 x 86, WMC has stopped working.

  After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

  After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

• My hard drive has failed. I have Microsoft XP media center edition 2005. How can I get a recovery disk?

  I had a hard disk crash.  I don't care about data loss, but I bought a new hard drive and you want to install Windows XP media center edition 2005.  I have a sticker on the side of my pc with the product code.  How can I get a recovery disk?  Download the program from another PC?

  As your original failed hard drive, you would of course not be able to access any partition contained on this hard drive recovery.  Therefore, your best option is to contact the manufacturer of the computer and see if you can get the installation of their own media.
