• Can not turn on Media Streaming with Windows 7 Professional

  When I followed the instructions to turn on media streaming in Windows 7, I immediately have a problem.  I have media player, click on the arrow down to data flow and choose 'enable media streaming... '. »

  On the next screen, click on the button "Turn on media streaming" and it does nothing.  I don't know where to look on this logging information.  Nothing appears in the event viewer.

  Help, please.

  -Winston

  I did a little more digging and found the issue.  With Windows 7, this path is:

  C:\Users\%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

  Remove all sand file *.wmdb it will work.

  Need a solution added to the help for that.

• Cannot "turn on media streaming" - another user of Windows 7 with the same problem and the "suggested correction '' does not.

  This windows bug has been reported and 'responded' before by several people, but the "answers" do not work for me - and they do seem to work for a lot of people in this area and other forums.  I hope you can provide me with a real estate diagnosis, a reason for why this happens and a real solution that works for everyone.

  I'm trying to 'Turn on media streaming' in Windows Media Player so I can listen to my xbox and other home theater equipment.  The problem I have is the same problem as [of] other people have reported: in Windows Media Player, I press the turn on the 'link', the button greys streamin media shortly, but then nothing, and streaming is not enabled.

  I don't have a network problem.  I was able to extend Microsoft Media Center on my xbox.  (simply not enable streaming in WMP).  With media center extended is a large (better) workaround for the xbox, but this isn't a solution for my other home theater devices. I need to be able to listen to my receiver and blu - ray player, as I have done on my old PC running Windows XP.

  I have a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro, x-64 on a new machine of self-building.  Everything else works, it is not the machine.  I installed all the latest drivers for my machine.  I have all the updates for Windows 7.  I run the Windows Firewall and Kaspersky Anti Virus 2010.  I installed Microsoft Office 2007, Outlook 2007, Visio 2010 and many other applications 'standard '.  I'm not under any program of low-level "weird."

  As other people "suggested", already tried the action of the outgoing WMP, stop the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service using service.msc, then by removing the .wmdb (and other files but not directories) by my dirctory users/xxx/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Media Player, restart the Service of network share WMP using services.msc and then restarting WMP.  This had no effect.  (I tried several times with and without having to restart WMP network sharing service manually.)  I tried to change the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, tab log (the default on my system) Network Service to Local System with "allow service to interact with desktop" chosen as someone another "suggested".  This does not seem to do anything.  I also tried to uninstall WMP and WMC player (using "turn Windows has or disable"), restart, then adding them and reboot.  This time this icon "turn media sharing on" returned in WMP (the icon is usually party WMP Stream/turn on media sharing window).  This time Windows 7 Pro thought a little longer before doing nothing.  (However, now I get a message error "an error has occurred. Not all features have been changed successfully. "in an attempt to"Reinstall"Windows Media Center after you have reinstalled WMP.)  The resettlement of WMC has returned an error.  I can no longer start Windows Media Center on my PC.

  So, by all posts on this topic, its obvious this is a real bug in Windows 7 (maybe?), (perhaps only on x - 64?).

  Just two more things on my setup... I did not initially set up homegroup (because I have no other Windows 7 machines), but I tried that implemented to see if it had an effect (it didn't).  The part only 'weird' of my installation, I mounted my D: drive (2nd hard drive) in C:\Users (because I use a Solid State Drive for the operating system on C: and don't want the user data on this subject).  This has not caused other problems, but I wanted to throw it out there in case Windows Media Player sharing is something weird here.  (And no, I'm not going to 'try to change' that, unless it is a known fact that that's the problem - and then I would need a different solution to move my user data off the coast of the SSD.)

  So please, let me know what is the real problem why it happened to me (I'm sure some people can turn on streaming in WMP), and what is the real solution.  (There seems to be a multitude of suggestions on the web for all kinds of different 'fixed', but which, if any, is the right one?)  Please do not just suggest things to try.  What is the right benchmark?

  Go to network and sharing center open view full map, right click on your PC and click on manage.

  then open services and applications, and then serivces and find Upnp device host, right click and click on reboot and make sure that it is set to automatic.

  Now scroll down to Windows Media Player Network Sharing service, do a right click and click on reboot and make sure that it is set to automatic also.

  It should work, it worked for me and everyone I know but... The only problem I have is when I restart my PC, the drive share Windows Media network service changes from automatic to automatic (delayed start) and I have to restart again the Upnp device host and Windows Media Player network sharing service.

  Other than having to do every time I restart my PC, it works perfectly.

  Also, if anyone has an idea of why it changes (delayed start) let me know thanks...

• Cannot depend on media streaming in Windows Media Player 7

  I can't turn on Media Streaming on Windows Media Player on my Windows 7 Intel Pantium inside 4 GB, touch screen computer. I have two laptops and a computer. My first laptop works and it is on the good (I'm trying to connect my TV to the wireless computer) and it connects to the TV, but it does not work on my computer.

I want to watch my videos on TV without connecting to the computer. How to turn on media streaming? I'm a girl so please explain and make it simple.

• EliteBook 8560p: unable to turn on Mobile Broadband - 10 Windows

  Hello

  So I made the big jump yesterday of 8.1 Windows of Windows 10. Do this jump however gave me a headached major when it comes to using my built-in mobile broadband.  Properly installed device drivers however I am unable to turn on the device to Windows 10.  I had a similar problem on the Windows 8.1 but I then installed HP Connection Manager, and then I could turn on and off the unit.

  With HP Connection Manager not supported on Windows 10, is there another way I can get get this device to turn on so that I can use.

  I solved my problem.

  Before moving to Windows 10 I had installed HP Connection Manager on Windows 8.1.  During the upgrade, I thought that HP Connection Manager has been removed from the machine, as it is incompatible and not appearing is not in programs and features. The attempt to run the HPCM.msi file I had the option to modify, repair, or uninstall if I choose one of these options, I get a message indicating that the application was blocked.  It then struck me that HPCM was still installed and it had locked my device to the OFF state.

  I downloaded Revo uninstall the application and was able to successfully remove HPCM. Once removed, I could use my device natively through Windows 10.

  I hope this post helps the other.

• Where is Windows Media center in Windows 7 Professional?

  Simple as that.

  I have a Lenovo thinkpad E420 with no Windows Media center 64 bit laptop. No, not at all.
  Not in the program folder files or in the search bar or anywhere at all.
  Where can I download / get somewhere so I can use it?

  If you have Windows 7 N Edition (available in some parts of Europe) then it does not come with some features, including Windows Media Center. Please see:

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/What-is-Windows-7-N-edition .

  If you do not have a Windows 7 N edition you can download the pack of media features of:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 .

  If you have a normal life (not a N) edition of Windows 7, you should see it here:

  Start-> all programs-> Windows Media Center.

  If it is not there then try to turn it on:

  1. click on Start (lower-left) and then on Control Panel.

  2. click on programs and features.

  3. on the left side of the screen, click on 'Windows turn features on or off".

  4. find the entry called multimedia & tick the box next to it.

  (also, expand it and make sure that Windows Media Center is checked)

  5. click on OK.

  6 reset.

  If the multimedia box is already checked, uncheck the box , click OK, restart, then do steps 1-6 above.

  If the above fails, try to find the executable file:

  1. open Windows Explorer. (not Internet Explorer)

  2. in the left pane, navigate to:

  C:\Windows\ehome

  Search for the file (if its there) ehshell.exe

  3. right click on ehshell.exe and create a shortcut/pine on the tasks/pine bar in the Start Menu.

• Takes 5 minutes - start Message: Configuring Windows Update 0% complete do not turn off your computer. Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system, works fine, but I get this stupid message whenever I start.

  How can I get rid of this stupid message and have a normal boot.  This took place yesterday, and it's a real pain.  How can I get rid of this.

  I had this problem 2 days in a row. Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. "Automatic updates" not ended and I got the same message on restart and had to wait for it to timeout.

  I tried "manually" update, and that fixed the problem.

  Go to the control panel. Click on system and security. Click on Windows Update and follow the instructions. I selected the updates recommended, installed and rebooted. Problem solved.

  (I have no idea why this problem occurred. In the "Windows Update", I opened the "update history" and saw the 'Impossible' updates, but I don't dig deeper than that.)
