  You can go in Panel, programs and features and functionality in Windows

  Media Player. As indicated, you will not be able to remove the bits that are
  part of the operating system.

• Movies in Windows Media Center unsort the YEAR after about 1 minute of navigation

  I hope someone can help with this. I have about 300 movies in my media center. When I open Windows Media Center to 'Movies' and 'Year' they are all sorted. When I start to scroll titles, shortly after, they begin to UNSORTING. It makes me crazy! Any ideas?

  Hello

  I understand that movies in Windows Media Center are not sorting. I understand the inconvenience.

  I suggest you to reset the database of media center and check if it helps.

  Click Start, type cmd.exe in the search box, then right-click on cmd.exe and select run as administrator.

  In the command prompt window, type the following command and press ENTER: MediaCenterRecoveryTask - %SystemRoot%\ehome\mcupdate.exe

  Hope it solves the problem. For any other corresponding Windows help, do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to help you.

   

• Get a fixed image and audio while playing a movie in Windows Media Player, also get the message: "network is too busy to read the file to its original quality.

  Original title: Windows Media Player

  When I go to play a movie using windows MediaPlayer all I get is an imagwe again with audio and this message 'network is too busy to read the file to its original quality. Also, all my other media playing programs read the video but are rather "lag". I think the problem is that I already used a program to download torrents called 'BitTorent' and maybe this has used up all my bandwidth or processing speed? Not really sure but would really like it if I could still use WMP and I'm looking for resolution to my problem?

  Thank you

• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

  The photos that appear in the slide show Windows Media Center are images that are located in the images folder and all folders are selected during the installation of the library of Windows Media Center that contain photo files.

• Playing old consoles by windows media center

  I'm trying to play my NES, SNES and N64, through Windows Media Center. It works, but there is a mismatch between touch me on the controllers and actions. I understand that video playback to watch TV Live has a similar shift, because if, while watching TV, I unplug my coaxial cable, the TV show will continue to run for a few seconds. Media Center does not appear to be all that much of customizable options that I see, so I wonder if there's some way to make sure that this delay is not there, ideas?

  Hello PTrev.

  There is not much that can be made to this topic.  The GAL, as you see, is because the computer must convert the analog signal into MPEG or another digital video codec, it can appear on the screen and do all his fancy stuff recording.  Even the type of equipment they use for television still gives a delay of a second or two.

  Please use the forum for Support of Vista,

  Windows Media Center and DVD Maker is part of the Vista installation.  You can click Start, type in the area of research, programs and features.
  Open it and click on turn Windows features on / off on the left side.  In the list, under multimedia features, check the box for Windows Media Center and DVD Maker.

  You may need the installation of Vista CD/DVD to install the features.

• Windows Media Center learned remote control cable, cannot recognize the Windows Media Center remote control

  Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I rent a cable box so I can get some programs at the 3-digit level.  When I've set up my Windows Media Center (WMC), WMC learn successfully the cable box remote 1 - channel upward.  My problem is the next step and change the channel using the Windows Media Center remote control or keyboard.  My keyboard or the WMC remote will change the channel.

  I got Windows Media Center to re - learn the cable box remote control twice, which is always successful, but again once, when the time comes to use the Windows Media Center remote control or my keyboard to change the channel, the channel does not change.

  Could someone please help me with this?  Thank you in advance.

  Hey kansascitykid,

  If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box and Media Center is unable to change the channel, or it changes channels incorrectly, check the following:

  ·        The infrared diffuser is connected to your remote control receiver. If the infrared diffuser is not connected, Media Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

  ·        The infrared diffuser is well positioned at the front of the set - top box. If you are having trouble placing the IR blaster on the set - top box correctly, try to use a flashlight to locate the signal on the set - top box receiver.

  ·        IR control codes are configured correctly. If constantly changing channels, control IR codes may not have been configured correctly during the installation of TV signal. To reconfigure your TV signal, on the Windows Media Center start screen, highlight toTasks, clickSettings, click on TV, then clickSet up the TV Signal.

  • Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

• How to get rid of the Windows Media Center Nag screen?

  I do not expect to use Windows Media center. Well, I don't really understand what it is, honestly. But I get the screen of horse to 'watching TV' on my computer. It's the last thing I want to do with my computer.

  How can I get rid of the nag screen that keeps popping up?

  Thank you very much

  Jack

  Hello

  I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Rebuild the Media Centre.

  Your index requires virtually no maintenance. However, if the index looking for files that you know problems must be in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index. This can take a long time to complete, so avoid this step unless you have given the index enough time (several hours) to correct the problems first. To rebuild the index:

  1. open indexing and search by clicking the Start button Options, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.

  2. click on Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click on rebuild.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Method 2:

  Enable and disable the Media Center to enable Windows features turn on or off.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-features-on-or-off

  a. open them turn Windows features on or OFF.

  b. Locate and expand multimedia features.

  c. clear the check box for Windows media Center to turn off. (Check the Windows media Center to turn on)
