• I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

  original title: error with ehshell.exe

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

  This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

  You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

• My Media Center has stopped working on Xbox; now that they find each other

  I've lived almost every link and FAQ and troubleshooting, thing that I can find and nothing has worked.

  I use my Xbox 360 as an extender for Windows Media Center for more than a year or so now.  I changed nothing and suddenly it no longer works.  I tried playing with the firewall, even turn it off at some point and usually still Media Center to connect to the Xbox.  I get as far as enter the 8-digit code in the Media Center and it won't find the Xbox.

  The ONLY thing that has changed on my computer in the last few days has been an update to Kaspersky the other night.  I left out of it just to try and still no luck.

  I did all the General stuff, any reboot, soft and hard resets to the router and the wireless router.  This is my Xbox connects to the internet without any problem, just not the Media Center.

  I have no idea what to do next.

  Thank you for any response.

• Improvements in computer laptop Touchpad or additional features (I want to just right click by tapping lightly on the button of the touchpad).

  I have Windows 7 running on HP Pavilion dv6t-3100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC with Synaptics (version of the driver - 15.3.29.0).

  • For a normal click (left click) I either press the touchpad or press on the lower-left corner of the button - and for a click right, I press the bottom-right corner.
  • The unique tapping (left click) works when I tap anywhere on the touch-pad.
  I was wondering if there was some way if right click I can by simple sheet metal without pressing the button.

  May I know if there is any other soft-goods other than Synaptics which has some nice features.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the request in the Microsoft Community.

  Unfortunately, you will not be able to make a right click with a single touch. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer for assistance:

• Media Center does not work on Equium A100-147

  Hello
  I have a little problem with my media center. It used to work fine, but recently, I decided to wipe the hard drive.

  I used the boot disk to reinstall windows media center edition 2005. However, when you try to load the Media Center, I get the error message:
  "Your video card or drivers are not compatible with Media Center" and it will not play videos when media center then opens upward.

  Now, I downloaded all the updates that are available from microsoft for windows and I ve downloaded the latest drivers from Intel for the graphic accelerator card.
  I am really at my wits end, Ive used this microsoft program to detect the decoder and it is both compatible with windows media player and windows media center and is set as default.

  I saw on another thread, someone having a similar problem, which was solved by going to "run", type "dxdiag" and enable direct features, however mine was already activated.

  If someone could help me I would be very grateful, thank you for your time.

  It is really strange. Your satellite notebook comes with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and it should work. What kind of videos you want to use. Original DVD movies?

  In any case, using google, you can find a lot of interesting comments for this theme.

  A man simply offers the solution:

  + Just open regedit, then tap on +.
  + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Cur rentVersion\Media Center\Display parameters +.

  + Then add 2 KEYS to DWORD called DisableDxCheck and DisableDx9CapsCheck and their two values 1 and Media Center should start without problem.

  You can test it.

• Windows Media Center record the wrong channel.

  I have windows 7 with Windows Media Center.  I get my signal through a TV tuner card.  My signal is a local digital cable.  For some time I get recording wrong channel and can't understand why.  I try to save channel 12.1 by choosing the show on the guide and introduction to the record.  When I go to view the recording, she carries the name of the program that I tried to register, but rather records channel 5.  I check the stats and it said it was channel 12.1.  I rarely watch channel 5, so it would not have been set to that channel instead.  I also close media center and it works in the background.  I'm puzzled.

  By "How's your live TV feature", I meant "on your Media Center." ;)

  Given what you have said here and in your other thread, I would say new TV Setup running (and you might find yourself wanting to "rerun Media Center Setup."  The latter will force a reset of the entire configuration of MC; Sometimes, to run the installation of TV is not entirely clear the previous TV config.)

  As your local cable company has made an overhaul of their system, you may need to redo the TV Setup to have any chance of your Media Center properly reflecting the changes.

  HTH,
