  Unload 1 Media Center - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn turn Windows features on or off, characteristic of the media, Media Center clear box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  Unfortunately, you can not install Windows Media Center in home or Pro.

  You will need to purchase a new DVD of WMC 2005.

  They are cheap now and I saw them on the Web for about $60

  Do a search and you will find them.

• Where are the updates to the windows 7 media center satellite database?

  Optus B3 was replaced by D2 in 2007, but Media Center still has B3 and not D2! Transponders have changed slightly and new transponders must be scanned manually. You are with lots of channels in the channel list that don't actually work. OK, you can disable these etc. but MicroSoft should really be keeping the database up-to-date or allow it to be edited manually etc.

• If the Windows 8 Media Center key expires, or you can install it later on 31 January?

  I got the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for several systems, but I only installed Win 8 on 1 System.  I do not plan on installing Windows 8 Pro on other systems for several months or more.

  I got the keys to win 8 Media Center for all systems for which I bought a Windows 8 Pro upgrade. As I understand it, after the 31/01/13, I will not be able to use these Media Center keys for systems where I have not yet installed Win 8.  I strongly suspect that I can't.

  Please tell me I'm wrong and I can use the keys after 1/31 or can I download Media Center before 1/31 and install it after that I installed Win 8 on a system.

  Windows 8 key does not expire so you can install it at any time, but the free Media Center key expires. After 1/31, you will be able to buy the Media Center in the App store.

• Windows XP Media Center Edition computer will not start.

  When it starts, I get a BootMagic screen that allows me to choose the normal Windows operating system or partition DOS6. The next screen is text offering choices such as: Safe Mode, last known good Windows, normal windows, etc. None of the choices do something else that restart the boot process.
  I have backups of the C: drive in real Image files and ntbackup. I would like to make a bootable cd or dvd with the files needed to be able to copy the data on another dvd or on the local network to another computer. This computer was made by the gateway. No real installation CD were provided, just a "operating system Disk' which is of no use. The disk has been partitioned as C: D: K: etc. I added a 40 GB IDE drive, which is where half the data is I want back. I can 'see' readers when I boot from an old CD disk to Image, but may not see the LAN or write in the CD burner. Basically, should what files I put on a cd to boot?

  Well, almost a month since the gateway computer's dead, and I do not have anything on it. Spent a lot more time for the new computer with Windows 7 to run my most used programs: WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3. According to me, that you gave me a choice when I reinstalled Windows 7 to use either 64 or 32-bit. If I had a choice, it is 64. At this point, I wish I had chosen 32, due to all the incompatibilities resulting in 64. I doubt that there are real benefits for me. One thing they point out is his ability to deal with > 4 GB of RAM. This computer has 2.

  What I installed was XP HP discs received with a laptop period of 2002. Probably violates some policy Windows, but my rationalization was that bridge should have on giving me the opportunity to re - install the Windows XP Media Center edition. I prefer to get this OS works because it has a smooth operation built in encryption system.
  I tried to use the provided gateway recovery cd again, but not long after starting it fails with a 'memory overflow, please insert another disk' message. Gateway support has not been cooperative, so I can try again. I think that they have it for me.

  The XP system is running on a 40 GB IDE drive that I had added to the computer. There are too many error messages trying to install an operating system on theoriginal 250 GB SATA drive. Usually the installation of software did not see the SATA drive. He is currently disconnected. It work pretty well in the new computer from HP in the 2nd SATA slot for to retrieve me my data.

• Microsoft has stopped support for Windows 7 Media Center's Electronic Programming Guide?

  I've been using the Windows 7 Media Center to watch and record local televisions more of one year.  Now, my guide-schedule is not download new data.  I tried several times to update manually the programming data.  The EPG shows the update succeeded, but no new data is displayed.  Microsoft stopped providing data to guide programming?  If Microsoft still provides programming data, what can I do to fix the problem?  PS: I have similar problems on a second computer.

  After re - run the TV Setup at least 100 times, it * finally * downloaded and updated to the source of Rovi.

  Keep trying, it will work eventually.  Try to run the TV setup during off-peak hours, such as early in the morning.

• Windows 7 Media Center can't find my DLNA certified DMP (an LG BD390 Blu - ray player model network).

  I have a Player LG Blu - ray wireless connected to my home network.  Configuration of the network connection to the format Blu - ray says it is successful, and it is capable of downloading movies on the shared internet connection.  My management software from the network router (WRT610N model) Cisco Linksys® Network Magic Pro displays the Blu - ray player on its network card device.  LG Blu - ray player is a certified DLNA DMP (digital media player) device and the software supplied LG Nero MediaHome 4 (Server DLNA media graduate) successfully concludes the LG Blu - ray device when it starts.  So far, I've been unable to get the Windows 7 Media Center (supposed to be a media graduate DLNA server) to find my network Blu - ray player.  But the problem is more than just that the Media Center do not find my network device, even the 7 network and sharing Center window is not this network device when I select «View full map»  When I go to printers and devices on Windows 7 and select 'Add a device', it does not find my device of network Blu - ray player that passes by the Cisco Network Magic software and Nero MediaHome 4 software.  So what prevents the network of Microsoft Windows 7 software and Media Center software to my LG Blu - ray network player?

  Media Center Extender technology owns and uses any DLNA.
  I don't know why Umesh from Microsoft Support thought it was possible. You
  will not be able to set up your Blu Ray drive as an Extender. You CAN use
  Windows Media Player READ ON technology and streaming technology. You will not be
  be able to use your new drive LG Blu - ray network as an extension inside the
  Media Center interface.

• Try to install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 - on SP3.

  Hello

  All this started when my Xbox360 is dead, sent it for repair, came home another, all hung up and tried to connect to the Media Center. Of course, it did not work and the screen says to uninstall? (something), I forgot today, it has been a long road since then. BUT I uninstalled Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and updates that came after. NOW realize it was a mistake, I'm not of the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 on your computer. And I'm confused regarding why, for the first time, that I can't find a single KB article on this problem.

  And even if I did not restore the system off, there is no restore point on my machine.

  So I'm always searching in google and microsoft.com but a little lost right now.

• How to enable the DVD library in WIndows 7 Media Center

  How do you enable DVD library in Win 7 Media Center?  I tried editing the registry as in Vista, but it does not work with Win 7.  I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.  Thank you

  Hi zt75,

  Run you manually editing the registry?

  Have you clicked on fix it from the link below? If this is not the case, click on fixit and check if that helps.

  How can I enable the DVD library in Windows Media Center on a Windows Vista-based computer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930526

  (Although this article is for Windows Vista, we can always give it a shot in Windows 7.)

  Or do these steps and check.

  To enable the DVD library in Windows 7, follow these steps:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.
  4. in the list programs, click on regedit.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\Video settings

  6. in the Details pane, right-click VideoGalleryView, and then click on edit.
  7 remove the content that appear in the value data box.
  8. in the value data box, type Gallery, and then click OK. Registry value data: Gallery = Activate My DVD; Play = not to activate my DVD
  9. close the registry editor.

  To verify that the automatic fix worked, restart your computer. You should now see "DVD library" from the menu. To add DVDs, go to the menu information (click on 'i' on the remote control) and select "Add Movies.

  Try this also:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.
  4. in the list programs, click on regedit.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Start Menu
   
  Check if it has a value of HideDVD, and if the value data is set to 1. If the data in the value of HideDVD is set to 1, then you have two options. One option would be to delete the HideDVD value. The other option would be to change the value from 1 to 0 data.
  6. close the registry editor.

  EDITING REGISTRY WARNING:
  Important:   This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
