UPGRADING MEMORY ON A MEDIA CENTER M10507 PC
I like my old HP Media Center, model M1050Y. I have (2) GB of memory currently and you want to update. Has anyone successfully upgraded their memory?
Hello
Thank you 1 million for your answer. I think I'll continue to work with what I have. But I get messages that I have "strong internet usage." And I didn't have my computer down, this is the reason for the quest to upgrade memory. I think I will drive it until I'm able to afford another computer. Thanks anyway.

Upgrading RAM in HP Media Center PC m7277c
I have an old HP Media Center PC m7277c with 2 sticks of 512 MB/DDR2 SD RAM. BIOS shows that there are 4 banks of memory - 1 and 3 are busy. I would like the 512 the scrap and upgrade to 4 sticks of 1 GB. My question - my system will support DDR3? If so, standard DDR3 sticks will fit in the slots of the HP box?
Hello:
You can install 4 x 1 GB memory PC2-5300 or PC2-6400 (6400 memory will only run at 667 MHz).
DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 memory modules are not interchangeable.
They run on different voltages and have a different amount of pins.
The slots of each type are cut in different places to prevent us from short-circuiting the chip memory or motherboard by installing the wrong type DDR memory.

When I reinstalled it 3 years ago he corrected the problem of DVD. Help, please
Thank you for your help. Here are the answers your request:

The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.
Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.
The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.
Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120
Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.
Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.
PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

Thanks in advance. ;)
Hello Muhammad,
Thank you for your valuable response.
As a result of your message, we noticed that Dell OptiPlex GX520 is not compatible with Windows 8.1 and there is no available driver, this is maybe the reason why you can not upgrade to Windows Pro 8.1 with Media Center. We invite you to contact the manufacturer of the computer and check if it is possible to upgrade to Windows Pro 8.1 with Media Center on this computer. For more information on Dell OptiPlex GX520 you can refer to link below and kindly click Change OS see the compatible operating system on Dell OptiPlex GX520

Upgrade installing XP Pro Media Center of in the Windows environment. Just start the installation of XP Pro computer and then insert your Media Center CD in the CD-ROM drive and upgrade the installation, provide the Media Center product key when you are prompted. If this fails, you will need to install from a flat folder, post again if the upgrade fails and we can give you the flat installation instructions.

Someone help me please

Hello
Some USB TV tuners that were included with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 systems do not have a unique serial ID. You may experience this problem if you use one of these TV tuners and its driver with Windows XP Media Center 2005. If your computer has been upgraded to Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 from Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, you can solve the problem by installing the latest driver for your TV tuner. Contact your hardware manufacturer to determine the existence of a Media Center 2005 compatible device driver for your TV tuner.

Media Center is Reporting insufficient disk space for each record programmed
Since the upgrade to Windows 8 Media Center reports that there is not enough disk space for each scheduled TV recording despite there are currently more than 1 TB of free space. The programs record very well, but it is impossible to tell when it is a genuine issue (for example, a program conflict) as an indicator of each scheduled recording is also problematic.
There is a simple solution to this in Media Center as an administrator (which implies that there may be a problem of permissions with Windows 8). However, I also use an XBox 360 as an Extender and there is no known method to apply this workaround to an Extender then it continues to be a lack of disk space for each unique record.
I tried completely removing the recorded TV folder, followed by a reboot to allow Media Center services recreate the folder, but it does not solve the problem. I checked all the settings and Media Center reports that it has enough free space to save more than 400 hours of television, but he's still complaining lack of disk space for each individual scheduled recording.
Any ideas?
I found a solution that worked for me on another thread.
See the post from Steve Scoltock on executing a recovery job in the computer management application, here:http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_8-Winapps/Windows-8-TV-recording-problem-with-Windows-Media/f9695954-246F-4C59-8d1b-3729a81feee9?page=1&TM=1352456456164It worked for me. I hope this guy helps too. -

Hi, this could be a long post for something simple then I apologize in advance.
I recently updated my cable modem, router wireless at HQ and 150mbps broadband internet services. Came and went with the support technique of ISP and modem manufacturer and max results with speedtest I can get up to 92mbps. Seems that everything goes well on their ends. Not sure, but I suspect the 10/100 network adapter is my limit. So I bought a PCI Gigabit card and now I don't know what location to use. There is a dial-up modem connection in a slot and a wireless local area network (that I don't need) card in another. I thought I'd be able to recognize what PCI slot to use if there is a connector cable ethernet to one of the cards, but no. The ethernet connection is on a frame connected to the motherboard... so I was wondering if someone would have an idea to which PCI slot to swap? The Dial-up modem card or wireless Lan slot? Or is the network card built into the motherboard?
I learned that the peak of out to something like 130mbps PCI slots so I'm not expecting to get all the way to speed 150mbps broadband, but I would like to get as close as I can. And hope I'm on the right track with change of the network card.
Last year, I improved the two 1 TB hard drives each in a Raid? stripped configuration, maxed out at 8 GB memory and added new Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The little girl runs really well. I just wanted to give my trusty HP one more push.
Any idea would be appreciated... Thank you very much.

I'd rather have an insightful dialogue than to have to ask you some questions.
You motherboard has 3 PCI slots. Update external wireless modem does not help you support system that the internal Wi - Fi card does not match his speed, it's an old map of Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g. The remote access card is actually a 56K bps modem data / fax, useless, unless your in Fax? According to the HP website, you also have a PCI TV card (you do not have to mention)?
(1) if the Fax is not used, remove the card. Use this location.
(2) the old wireless card is now useless.
(3) be aware you will lose Media Center if you ever upgrade to win 10 and many more.
Well, you did ask! Treat the daughter of old nice. You have until 2020 to Jan. Read this also. Fun.

HP Pavilion Media Center m8200n Desktop PC upgrades tips and advice help.
Hello everyone I have a HP Pavilion Media Center m8200n desktop PC that I'm looking to upgrade. Can someone please advice me on the following topics:
Memory: What is the best possible that my system can contain that currently, I am running windows 7 ultimate 32 bit
Video card: I'm looking to install a decent video with hdmi support card that my system can contain I am aware that I can not use certain cause of my ability video cards, the upgrade of the power may be an option. Can someone advice me please on these subjects, it will be very appreciated thanks everyone I'll be sure to rep and appreciate all help thanks.
Without replacing the power supply, the EVGA NVIDIA GT 240 1 GB GDDR5 should work. This card is spec'd for a PSU with 18 amps of bus + 12 volts. This card can stretch your PSU, but give it a try. I have this card in my system of m9200t. This card will give the treatment a real helping hand from your video.
Review the specifications of performance ATI and NVIDIA . Look at the specifications of strip memory bandwidth and level of DirectX support.
Your PC will not work with memory dual channel and the processor will dictate the speed of transfer. Wait for the upgrade of the processor until you see how the system works.

HP Pavilion Media Center m8160 Win7 upgrade?
Will be my HP Pavilion Media Center m8160, running 32-bit win7, run a 64-bit version of Win8? My flag has an E4400 clocked at 2 Mhz.? I've already upgraded the card wirelessly with a compatible W8.
Hello:
The E4400 is a compatible processor 64-bit, your PC can run a 64-bit operating system.
Whether or not you will find W8 drivers for other devices in your model, I couldn't say for sure 100% that of course it will run W8 very well.
A note... a 64-bit operating system uses more memory and disk space to run that operating system 32-bit, if you have less than 4 GB of memory in your PC, I would install more memory or install a 32-bit operating system.

Question: Upgrade of RAM for my HP Pavilion Media Center m7480n
First of all, I want to say hello to everyone on the HP Forum community and thank everyone for their help and support since his arrival at the Forum.
I have a HP Pavilion Desktop Media Center m7480n:
Card upgrade memory:
Hello
That your PC has two free memory slots, and you bought ram DDR2 533 MHz 2 GB (1 GB x 2) memory. Compatibility should not be a problem. You have the right type and the amount of RAM in your PC. Once installed, it will take the total of your system's RAM to 4 GB. However, the caveat is that 32-bit operating systems can use only 3.25 GB of the 4 GB installed. This is a limitation of the memory address. Most of the personal computer world continues to use the 32-bit Windows XP/Vista or 7 versions.
Upgrade from 2 GB to 4 GB would be beneficial for people who are heavy multitasking and running many background applications. In the field of heavy multitasking, the processor (CPU) begins plays a more important role, as an increase in the number of cores (e.g. upgrade of duals to four hearts) will prove beneficial, that simply increase RAM. I think that 2 GB of RAM should be sufficient for basic multitasking averages. Even most PC games benefit much from 2 GB to 4 GB.
However with the RAM being if pricey as it is these days, it never hurts the Pocket to upgrade. As you have already purchased the RAM, go and plug it by all means, you should see a marginal improvement in performance. You can check this document before you install the memory modules: upgrading memory (RAM)
Hope this has been helpful.
See you soon!
