• What are the causes the limit 2 Gig Ram in m1170n Media Center computer?

  What are the causes the limit 2 Gig Ram in m1170n Media Center computer? It can be corrected? Makes for a much slower PC than it could be. I can update only 1 3/4 Gig and yet it can begin.  I tried the bios update that is available on this site, but it doesn't seem to change anything. It would be much nicer I could date within the limits of the operating system. 4 GB. Don't know what I'll use this 4 PC yet, but this could be the deciding factor.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Media Center m1170n desktop computer and its card mother PTGD1-(Puffer). Based on the specifications, this model has a maximum HP approved limit memory 4 GB (4 x 1 GB = 4 GB). The problem you are experiencing is perhaps due to incorrect memory modules, modules of memory defective or damaged, defective or damaged memorty slots or a very defective or damaged motherboard.

  Run the available at startup BIOS Diagnostics or download "memtest86" and create a bootable media. Then, run the test on each module individually, in the same housing. If all modules pass, rerun the test... this time by adding an additional module... Repeat until all slots are filled and all modules of memory are used.

• HP media center pc m7277c CPU units

  Anyone know if I can get a dual core processor in this desktop PC.  The vehicle currently has a Pentium 830 D

  Hello:

  The best you can get is the Pentium D 840 in your model according to the specifications of the motherboard.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00379616

  I look at the BIOS to BIOS release notes and they declare that a firmware update has been added to support new processors.

  I would interpret which means you can probably install a Pentium D 945, but this would probably be the max.

  I saw your post on the HARD drive.

  I can't say for sure, but I don't see why your PC can't run a 1 TB hard drive.

  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).

  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.

• Re-installed Windows XP Media Center Edition and now I can't turn it on with my product key.

  I REINSTALL XP MEDIA CENTER EDITION

  AND I GOT A FEW SCRACHES ON DISK. SO I REPAIRED THE INSTALLATION WITH XP PRO. NOW I CAN'T ACTIVATE WINDOWS TO ALL THE... WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?

  original title: REINSTALLED XP MEDIA CENTER EDITION, HAD A GLITCH AND USED XP PRO FOR INSTALLATION of REPAIR, NOW I can NOT turn ON WINDOWS

  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.

  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:

  It worked for me.  I hope this guy helps too.

• 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!

• Can I upgrade the RAM on my computer Windows XP Media Center?

  I have a computer that is running Windows XP Media Center. He has two cards Kingston 1 G ram and 2 empty slots. I want to add memory and I was wondering if I can add two 4G memory cards in the 2 blanks at a higher rate of megaHZ? Card mother Intel's core 2 duo @2.13 MHz.

  original title: add more memory?

  There is so much wrong with your question.

  1. your version of Windows (XP Media Center edition) can support a maximum of 4 GB of RAM (actually, he won't be able to use all the 4 GB, but that's another story).

  2. your mother unidentified may or may not be able to support 1 G in each of the two slots and 4 G each other 2 locations.

  3. your mother unidentified may or may not tolerate speeds of memory do not match.  If this is the case, the memory will operate at the slower speed of the module.

  If you decide to switch to an operating system to 64-bit (which could use 8 - or 10 - GB of RAM), either look for your motherboard specifications or use the memory Advisor Crucial tool http://www.crucial.com/index.aspx or Kingston or another provider memory to determine what your system can take in charge.
