You can use the following steps to repair files that are part of Windows Vista Media Center:

1. click on the Start menu, choose all programs, then Accessories, then right-click on the item to the command prompt and select run as administrator

2. click on continue to allow it to open a prompt with administrator privileges

3. run this command in the cmd prompt: sfc/scannow

4. the cmd prompt should list text stating "start system analysis. This process will take time. »

5. wait for the scan to complete (this may take several minutes, so be patient).  This command will scan all protected system files and attempt to replace the incorrect versions by appropriate Microsoft versions

6. once the analysis is complete, the SFC tool will indicate whether or not it found no problems and whether or not he was able to correct

7. If any errors are reported that SFC could not resolve, there are steps inthis knowledge base article which explain how to locate and attempt to correct errors

8. after fixing errors that are found, try to use Windows Vista Media Center again

  • Windows Media Center will not record shows?

    I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

    Get the free download for Windows Media Center

    Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

    However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

    But I have over 900 GB of free space!

    I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

    Still no luck!  Help!

    See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

    The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

    I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

    In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

    1. close Windows Media Center

    2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

    3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

    4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

    5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

    After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

    Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

    Hope that works for you

  • Windows Media Center does not display my photos. I tried to re-setup my album and it shows my files but no pictures in them. I can see my photos in all viewers

    all my photos are in JPEG format, I download my photos on several websites and on my Windows live.com page, I also see with Windows Live Photo Gallery, I use Adobe Photoshop 7 to edit and save my pictures in .jpeg format, I can visualize in Picasa, PhotoStudio, ZoomBrowers EX etc.. I can spend my photos to one of my other computers and my pictures by e-mail, and they can be consulted. I open one of my photos in Photoshop and saved in a folder on my desktop in .jpeg and .bmp and it does not display. I sort my folder in date and make sure that hidden files is checked. I know I'm missing something, but still nothing.

    Hello
     
    Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!
     
    How long have you had this problem?

    All files compatible photo in your library in Windows will appear in Media Center, including whatever it is stored in the folder my pictures or public photo. If you store images somewhere else, like an external hard drive, you can add them to the Media Center as well. To learn how, see Add files to media in Windows Media Center.

    The following is a list of reasons why an image will not display in Media Center, as well as suggestions for correcting the problem.

    • The picture file type is not supported in Media Center. For example, some digital camera photos are saved in the RAW file format, which is not supported in Media Center. If you have a photo editing software, try to open the picture in that program, and then resaving in a file type that is supported (for example, JPEG). To see what types of files are supported in Media Center, see file types supported by Windows Media Center.

    • The file is corrupted. If this is the case, try to open the image in another photo editing program, and then save it back into a different file type. For more information on the damaged files, see the files corrupted: frequently asked questions.

    • The file is hidden. You can view a hidden file by changing its properties in Windows. For more information, see Show hidden files.
