    Method 1: You can delete these folders to be monitored by Windows Media Center. To do this, follow the steps below

    (a) on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, and then click settings.

    (b) select the library configuration.

    (c) select stop watching a folder , and then select Next.

    (d) uncheck the folders you want Windows Media Center to stop watching, and select Next.

    (e) in the next screen, select Finish .

    Method 2: You can manually delete the files imported from the original location on the Windows Vista-based computer.

    You can see the article below, which deals with a similar question

  • Audio stuttering then crash by watching the video with Windows Media center

    I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center which seems to have left me speechless. Whenever I have try and watch live TV or recorded using Media Center program, he starts to play to repeat the first second of audio for about 6 seconds and then stops playing gives me an video error and won't let watch me something else. I have a Setup Xbox 360 as an Extender and having no problem whatsoever. The strange thing is that, if I open the program saved directly from Explorer windows with media center, it will play well. If I stop and try and then click RESUME He stutters and gives me this video error.
    It used to work fine until I started to play with the audio settings from 5.1 to 7.1 audio in the windows configuration settings. I changed the settings in-game your 7.1 speakers. Actually I tried to switch back, but when I try to 'Test' the speakers it gives a sound like it is stuttering and I still get the video error when I try to play. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Audio problems in Windows Media Center

    update the following drivers: -.

    Audio driver

    Graphics card driver

    Driver card TV Tuner

    You may need to reset if necessary WMC.

    Run the Setup again.

    Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

    Does that help?

    If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

    Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

    Now reconfigure WMC again.

    You can also go for a System Restore-select any restore point when it did not have this problem.

  • Qosmio G30-175: why the properties system tell Media Center 2002 and not 2005?

    Hello

    I have a qosmio g30-175, it says on the sticker of the authentication windows on my laptop computer Media center 2005, the problem is that when I check the system properties in Control Panel, it says units media center 2002 SP2. I find it confusing, Toshiba gave me the wrong version, or is it quite normal.

    I installed windows by using the recovery disk of the product came with my computer.

    Thank you.

    Don't worry man. Everything is ok! You have a MCE 2005 version

    You have simply checked versions MCE in the wrong way!
    If you want to check the MCE versions open media center, click on "settings", then click "about media center". The version of MCE will appear.

    What you're watching now is the version of XP/OS. The XP is the Foundation for MCE. ;)

  • When I open an email, the screen is shifted off center to the left about 3 inches.

    Original title: Live Mail opens to a quirky screen

    When I opened a mail on Windows Live Mail 2012, the screen is shifted off center to the left about 3 inches. My arrow on the right does not have to re-center the page so I can't use all the controls on the left or read the email because the left is not visible. How can I fix it?

    Not sure what you mean by the arrow on the right.
     
    Make sure that the Central box in the top right is a unique place. Take the banner at the top and drag the window where you want it. Close all other windows first and this one last and Windows will remember the size and placement.

  • Current do not install the update to Vista Media Center (KB960544)

    I would appreciate much information on how to deal with a recurring problem of the automatic Windows Update: "Cumulative Update for Media Center for Windows Vista (KB960544)."

    Since the beginning of February 2009, whenever I start my computer, I get a notice that the update above tried and impossible to install.  The notice made reference to "Error Code 80073701"

    My operating system is Vista Home Premium (OEM), and whenever I turned off the computer, an application of the computer power off not because an update is the installation appears on the screen of the monitor.  However, when the computer is started, this update was not installed.  Until this problem appeared, I had no problem with the other, automatic updates, and even now, other updates have been installed, without difficulty.

    I crossed the procedures recommended for troubleshooting and the Knowledge Base of Vista and tried to install the update file that is available online.  But no luck.

    Someone else has experience this problem?  If so, and you have any suggestions, thank you very much for your kind cooperation.

  • Only get a white screen with Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player

    My Center & Windows Media Player do not work. Only, I get a blank screen. I would like to reinstall, but I don't want to reinstall all Windows Vista Home Premium. How can I reinstall the only Media Center?

    Hello, Rob Davis,.

    Please check Application, system logs and Event Viewer Security for possible errors for the time that you tried to connect to Windows Media Center. Go to the computer and right click. Select manage. Then select Event Viewer, and then click Windows logs. In addition to this, you can check the newspapers of Media Center under the Application and Services logs. See if you have errors on Media Center.

    Then, update your most current video driver. If you have an OEM computer, go to the site such as Dell or Acer, etc. Download the latest for your computer, such as the graphics drivers or video drivers.

    Please answer back with an update and let us know if it helps.
