Repair Windows Media Center for Windows 7

I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center. Whenever I try to open it, it says it has stopped working and he's looking for the problem. Then it does nothing... I can't do a system restore, simply because there is no restore point on the computer. It won't let me download an older version. It's not even in my list of programs. I am running Windows 7 on a computer that came with Vista Home Basic, so it has some difficulties sometimes still. Is there a way I can fix the program? Can someone help me please?

Go to the Control Panel and select programs and features

In the upper-left corner of the window, select turn Windows features on or OFF.

Expand the entry for the multimedia features (select the plus sign (+).)

Only uncheck Windows Media Center

Select OK.

Restart your computer.

Go back and put a check in the box, and then restart your computer.

  • Add the network location in Windows Media Center for recorded TV

    Locations of tv settings, tv, recorder, more Windows Media Center does not outside of the local computer.  I used Media Center to record some TV shows and I want to spend my laptop on USB large network of an old desk for viewing later.   Because I can't point to this place I'm stuck.
    The files are on USB key and visible in windows media player and video location in Windows Media Center.  In other words, none of the news of the series is visible in Windows Media Center (but is in windows media player), so I can't continue to record series because Windows Media Center is not aware of the episodes already on USB network.

    Hello Johngi2,
    Thank you for your message.  To change the location of your recorded TV shows and always keep the info so that you won't get duplicates please browse to the following location in Media Center.
    Settings > TV > TV recordings > TV storage > storage location
    You just change the location of storage on your USB.  Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
    See you soon

  • Windows xp Media Center from windows xp media center for windows 7

    I have windows xp media center 11.  I need to have windows 7 to be able to configure the USB tv tuner to record/watch tv programs

    Hi Bevtravel,

    Windows Media Center on Windows XP, like Windows 7, can use external USB TV Tuner to watch/record TV. Make sure that external USB TV Tuner is compatible with the version of Windows Media Center that you have on your computer (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.).

    Access the link to learn more about recording TV in Media Center.

  • Where can I download Media Center for Windows XP?

    Original title: Media center download?

    I know it's possible to use the extension function to be able to watch media on your computer through your xbox to a TV, but where do you find the media center download so that you can start the whole process?

    In addition, I'm not interested by the upgrade to Windows 7, including the download site insists on the fact that I have to do, first of all.

    You need XP Media Center Edition, or you need to update. There is no download
    Add Media Center to XP.

  • Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

    I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

    Hi nwills,

    Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

    a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

    b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

    c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    To activate it please open Control Panel and select programs and features.
    On the left pane, click turn Windows features on or off.
    Scroll to the multimedia functions and expand the folder. Then check Windows Media Center, and then click ok.

  • How to download media center for windows 8 version 6.2

    I'm very new to windows 8. I learned that I can not play my DVD unless I get a media center download.  I have windows 8 version 6.2, can someone help me? I am an old person and need simple instructions please.

    You can only add a Media Center in Windows 8 Pro. If you have Windows 8, you will need to download and install VLC or another player in order to play DVDs. Hope this helps and if you need any other help post and I'll be happy to help you.
