  Whenever I use my computer, the Windows Media Center screen opens constantly throughout any program, how can I stop this? I have istsalled game AllShare on my mobile device and the computer. It seems that I started having these problems at the same time, I installed it, but I could be wrong, because I was working on several things. Help, please!

  you say that when you open any program, Media Center opens instead OR are
  you say you can open programs, but Media Center appears in these
  programs. These are two different issues.  Have you tried a system restore to a
  point before your installed this program "Allshare" to see if the problem stops?

• WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER - WINDOWS 7 - COMPUTER CRASHES

  Whenever I turn on windows media center to watch live TV, after about 10 minutes of watching TV, my computer crashes / turns off.  I have to hold in the power button for a while turns back on after that is the case of the computer. I get no error message, it's just completely off / hangs the computer.

  Dell Inspiron Intel Core duo

  Windows 7 Home premium

   

  I got so sick of this, I spent the last few hours trying all sorts of things.

  This seems to have solved that problem.

  First of all, I went to my monitor of resources because of the above message on the video memory. I have never in line or running anything while I watched the live TV on windows media center. As I thought, everything was fine. I had a lot of resources free etc, but while watching I noticed my McAfee security software and decided to disable real-time scanning and firewall. (I never try to watch live TV on windows media center all in line.) I always turn off my network card when I'm not online anyway so felt ok with turning the firewall and scanning off.)

  And guess what! for the first time since I use Windows Media Center, it has not crashed my computer. So, it looks like Microsoft and McAfee need to understand this. I tested it several times and each time McAfee is on and working when turned off, it blocks. It will be a headache to have to remember to turn it on when I go online and off when I want to watch the tv media Center in windows.

  I suggest to have the people to do this step first before making do them all the steps you gave me above.  We hope to see some sort of update of Microsoft and McAfee for this question.

• Could not find photos in the computer anywhere except Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center hides my videos of me?

  I have windows media center, and I imported my blackberry videos. I can't find the videos anywhere on the computer, but when I go to the images on Windows Media Center. It is not sensible, and I can't download videos anywhere because my computer can not find them. Is there anyway to add to the computer and to get them off Media Center? I never got so bad to do something on a computer. I can't believe that the Media Center doesn't let me see the media outside himself. So, if anyone has the answer please help me.

• Xbox 360 and Windows Media Center interfere with the operation of the Vista computer.

  Since the implementation of an Xbox 360 for the family to use, turning power switch and return to the dashboard caused Windows Media Center on the laptop family to turn on automatically, which, in some cases, interrupts programs and blocks computer. Sometimes the computer will be same turns on automatically when the XBox is turned on.

  I've done everything I can think of to stop the problem, including 'disconnect' XBox WMC in the "Uninstall" the XBox and the XBox settings in the settings of WMC. I do not anticipate using WMC in the near future, I just want to stop this crazy to happen.

  Thanks in advance for any help and please ask if you need more information on my problem.

  Hello ebduhamel,

  1. what type of connection you have between the computer and the Xbox, it's a cable or a wireless connection?

  2. is it to wake up the computer from standby or everything just stops?

  I suggest you try the steps below and check if you have the same problem.

  This could be possible only if media sharing is enabled on your computer.

  I suggest that you turn off media sharing and make sure you always have the same question:

  a. click the arrow below the Library tab, and then click media sharing.

  b. turn off media to find that others share and share my media to check boxes, and then click OK.

  By clicking OK, you confirm that you want to turn off sharing for yourself. You will also be asked if you want to turn off sharing for everyone who uses this computer. Note that if you let one of the selected check boxes, some sharing services may continue to run in the background.

  c. When you are prompted to turn off sharing for everyone who uses the computer, follow these steps:

  To make your changes apply to all users of your computer (including yourself), click Yes.
