• Windows Media Center problem of input S-video

  I have a HP m9350f running Vista 64-bit Home Premium.  It has a Hauppauge HVR-1800 TV tuner inside.  This card features a remote control with IR receiver is highlighted at the front of the minitower chassis.  The tuner and remote work fine through WMC with a 'digital antenna "as the source of signal to the card.

  However, I'm trying to set up WMC also accept a S-video (or composite video) and audio of a combo Samsung DVD/VCR, VR-357.  WMC hesitate to second source because it can't find/see "IR control cable" on the remote control, so I can never finish the implementation.

  I've seen some old posts that address this problem, but nothing that seems to apply to the HVR-1800.  What is someone is aware of all hotfixes to WMC or some other workaround for this stumbling block "IR control cable"?

  The VR-357 has no RF output, so I can not simply designate as an "analog" with just the Ch antenna 3/4.  My next step is to go buy an old VCR to get Ch 3/4 output and this source from the TV card as an analog antenna, but that seems to be crazy having something to do with all this modern equipment!

  Thanks in advance to anyone who has nothing to offer.

• Vista / windows media center / missing mouse pointer

  Hi I recently bought vista Home premium v6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 and have all the updates.

  I have 2 similar problems.
  When I start windows media center I lose the mouse pointer and if I use alt - tab returns in other running programs such as office. so it seems only to be windows media center problem.
  to exit the program I have to ctrl-alt-del and use taskmanger to complete the process, but even if it works sometimes.

  I get a similar problem with other programs, especially when loading software.
  It was not to display the error on the top window or place an item in the taskbar.

  and I don't get to see if I minimize all other windows.

  It's on a laptop Acer 1810 entered t oem installed with vista home premium.

  radar888,
  The first thing you posted in the category Windows Update, but I moved this forum hardware and drivers.

  However, in safe mode, your computer starts with generic basic hardware drivers.  That's why it will give an error that your video card is not good enough for Media Center.  The fact that the mouse works properly in safe mode indicates that you have a driver problem.  I would update ALL your hardware drivers (video, sound, NETWORK, touchpad, etc...).  Then test the position of the mouse.  You can check with the Acer site for drivers.  You can check with the hardware manufacturer for the latest drivers for your video card.

• Windows Media Center will not record shows?

  I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

  I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

  Get the free download for Windows Media Center

  Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

  However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

  But I have over 900 GB of free space!

  I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

  Still no luck!  Help!

  See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

  The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

  I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

  In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

  1. close Windows Media Center

  2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

  3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

  4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

  5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

  After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

  Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

  Hope that works for you

  Hello hillsiderWH,

  Seems that your windows installation is missing most important files, I suggest you boot to the top with your windows media center installation CD and run repair on the windows installation. This will replace any missing files and I hope that your media center up and running. If this isn't the case, it could be a problem in the registry.

• Problems with Windows Media Center cumulative update 2

  Hello

  I tried to set up my xbox360 to work with windows media center.  Whenever I try to install the Update Rollup 2, he created a restore point and as soon as he arrives to install the fix, says installation failed and my computer must be restarted or something to that effect.  I did some research and found the threads on the .NET framework 1.1 Hotfix and checked for her and she does not appear in my programs add/delete, menu, so I don't think that may be worth.    It drives me crazy, any help would be appreciated seriously.

  Yes - you will need to reinstall Windows to fix.  And, Yes, you will need to backup your data first and reinstall all your programs later.

  I'll post instructions later tonight (they are on a machine at home).  In the meantime, now is a good time to start copying all your data to elsewhere.

  Kind regards
  Chris.

  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.
