Vista and creative zen portable media center

My Creative Zen PMC is a great personal media player.  Problem is that when I upgraded from Win 2000 Pro for Win Vista, I can no longer be synchronized to the PCM.  It requires Windows Media Player 10, but which will not install on Vista.  Why doesn't MS enable to use wmp 10 on vista, or will never afford it wmp 11 to synchronize with PMC?  If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know.

Hello

Windows media player 11(WMP 11) is an enhanced version of Windows media player 10. It has got more features than the earlier version. WMP 11 supports portable devices.

Refer to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-a-device-to-sync-in-Windows-Media-Player

To make it work, you can update the appliance with the latest firmware. Contact Creative for you to get the one appropriate for your device.

You can download the firmware suitable for the http://www.creative.com/support . While on the site, select a region to download from.

    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.

    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).

    The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone.

  • "Copying prohibited" error recorded and live TV on Media Center Win7

    Hello

     

    How long it will take for Microsoft to respond properly to this problem which have thousands and thousands of people.  There are forms and discussions all over the Internet with exactly the same problem.  After I installed Windows 7 and have absolutely no problems until a few weeks ago.  You can't watch the TV show whether direct or reading as a record course.  My problem started just after the updates have been made on 14 January, but I think it's just a coincidence.  It seems also occur when you watch the show on a HD channel.  At the same time if the program is available on a post not HD see you and be able to save it.  I have done everything recommended by the folks at Microsoft for seven different forms and the problem persists.  It's a software program problem or a problem of cable company that Microsoft has been unable or unwilling to respond to.  Just acknowledge the problem and stop putting your customers through the time wasting recommendations that will not fix the problem.  Throughout the Internet, it seems that each host Microsoft has a different answer and a recommendation for the same problem.  When things have been OK with everyone and suddenly the problem began, it is clear that he has nothing to do with the hardware, what a person uses or the supplier who provides the programming.  There is no need to ask as many questions that a person gives up trying to get an answer, when it becomes blatantly obvious, that this is not a personal matter.  Thank you and please send all your Media Center users troubled and frustrated at a place where we can finally get the answer correct and consistent.

     

    Thank you

  • How can I add pictures to the gallery and see from BlackBerry Media Center

    I want to add a file to the image to the device file system. then, he discovers the BlackBerry Media Center. I use under folder to add a picture

    This function gives me a way and I write to the file in this folder. But, as I wrote, I have strictly see native BlackBerry support center. What should I do to see this image?

    Thank you

    The BlackBerry Media Center should be able to view all the folders.  You choose the view all the photos option?  This file you write to?  Have you tried a different folder?  What format is the image?  What model of Smartphone BlackBerry and the BlackBerry terminal software version you test on?  You can find this under Options, all on the BlackBerry Smartphone.

  • Windows Media Center Vista don't tune in digital channels of PCI digital tuner tv.

    I recently installed a new Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC? ATSC/QAM tuner in my computer. Its a dual core 2.66 mhz 4GB Ram running Windows Vista Home premium with Windows Media Center. The tuner is made to work with Windows Media Center according to its box. He also had his own software cleaner, IE. WinTV, which I also loaded. I have an antenna hanging good input on the tuner card. That same exact antenna wire hooked to a digital TV Gets the following strings... 6.1 and 6.2 - 6.3 - 8.1 - 8.2-8.3-17.1-17.2 - 17.3 - 22.1
    WinTV those gets exactly the same channel list and can display them all. Windows Media Center, after the execution of the installation routine, list the same channels, but do not think that all. Problem channels are 8.2 - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3.  These channels show in the guide as "No Data Available" and when you select them, there is no signal detected. Yet, channel 8.1 and 17.1 gave Guide and discover very well. It is interesting when you go through special antenna Signal: settings: TV: Digital TV the 8.2 problem channels - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3 list all the and are verified with check marks and show full signal strength. I spent time trying to play with the Guides Add announcement & edit channels and add missing channels. Also, I spent time with "Set Up TV signal" several times.
    Any suggestions? Why is the windows media center grateful but not display secondary digital channels, still recognizing and displaying the primary digital channel very well. It can be the signal or the pilots, because MyTV of Hauppage shows them all very well.
    Help?

    Try windows update.  I use this card with media center 7 and had no problem getting all the digital channels.

    Thanks, Joyce

    MS Works is no longer supported by Microsoft. Microsoft Works Plus (Works 9.0) was for Vista and only available for OEMS built (your picture of the HP software that came with Vista). Windows 7 still comes with Wordpad, if you're looking for word processing. If you want more than one suite, you will probably need to roll up your sleeves and install a new - either for free or one you buy.

    One of the best free versions is Open office .

    Microsoft Office is one of the most popular office of course suites.

    There are several others that you need to do a little research and talking to friends, namely one might be the best for what you want to do.

  • Reset the library in Windows Media Center on Vista Ultimate

    Any way to reset Media Center, so it restores the library of images, video and audio?  I need to start all over again because it won't let me control my own destiny.

    Media Center has found all kinds of stuff on my readers that I don't want to appear in its menus.  No, it's not _, but I can't see how this could be a real problem.  Is finding all sorts of photos of various I don't want not shown.  I wouldn't have to revamp my hard drive in an attempt to hide the stuff of Media Center.  That's all just crazy!  Media Player 11 is much better behaved.

    Once Media Center detects something it got him to it!  At least it seems that way to me.

    It would be a great improvement if Media Center show you a list of files that it finds and then gives you the ability to remove or add to this list.  MS apparently he dumbed down so that you can do.  Then after that it's must rescan and update everything.  Media Center development team please talk to the development of Media Player 11 team and see how they do.

    Apparently, it cannot detect that I moved my Public folder to another drive.  He is always looking for C:/users/Public and won't give up his research there.  I empied on all my music, video, photos, etc. under my user so it won't find anything be it next time around.  Now, I just need to find a way to reset the library from scratch.  It would be a nice option to have on task!

    Another option would be to score a registration file in Media Player/Media Center with a power button set with a right click on the folder.  Carbonite for that because he's back in line ups and it couldn't be simpler!

    This is really an excellent product to be almost useless for me.

    BajaPaul,

    Windows Media Center takes advantage of your information to the Windows Media Player library. We will need to edit your library here.

    <><><><><><><><><><><><>

    Add or remove watched your library folders:

    Open Windows Media Player, click on the library tab and choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV) then press F3 on your keyboard to open the Add to library window, press Advanced Options, make your selections for your library folder (by selecting Add, Remove, ignore or Enable), click on OK.

    Now, let's remove existing content unwanted from your library:

    Press on the library tab, choose the type of media (video, music, photos, recorded TV). Now select library in the left panel, displays, select file. You can now right click on the folder you want, and then select delete, to the notification area select delete from library only, press on OK. Alternatively, you can right-click on any multimedia file and follow the steps above to remove.

    Note: Pictures and video in Windows Media Center libraries automatically monitor your current user photos and video records. Any multimedia content added to these folders will be automatically analyzed in your Media Center, which includes the folder Public under C:/Users, place only the content you want to add them.
