  "Update drivers" reported "... software driver...»
  ... and no updates of WMC anywhere in sight

  Go figure!

• When you use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 DVD have not given chapter.

  After finally finding many questions I have my Xbox Media Extender and running upward and only this question left.

  I'm ripping my DVD to single file .vob she seems to like and plays very well, but it is only with the file movie and nothing else in the record.  How the XBOX sees it, the bed and he plays very well.  However I have no control outside the break and if I restart it takes over the job.

  Now if I rip my DVD with the .bup .ifo files in this folder the XBOX instantly he shoots in the list of the DVD and it will not play.

  When I use Windows Media Center on my PC it preforms even when the film is in the folder.  Then when I add bup and ifo data I can still play, but he has all data in the chapter that I need.  Shows all the chapters, allows me to jump as I please.

  How can I get my XBOX to behave like my PC?  I have to remove these 4 files in/out of the folder to see pop in and out of my list of XBOX.  How can I get the XBOX to validate data, so my movies actually have chapters and ignore the controls?

  Thank you

  Chris

  Hello, wilsman00

  As mentioned, by changing the VOB files, the data in the chapter are probably damaged. This can be confirmed by putting in a retail DVD in the drive and play directly from the DVD.

• Start window manager: sometimes when I started my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.

  Sometimes when I start my PC I have a black screen with the Windows boot manager at the top.  Although there are several options available, that nothing happens no matter what keys I hit and the only option is to shut down the computer and restart completely.  Sometimes the Boot Manager page turns and my office sometimes opens fine.  I've updated with everything Microsoft has Windows Vista and I still get this screen.  Anyone has any ideas.

  Do a startup repair and see if that fixes it:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use:

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

• How to avoid turning off Windows 8 when I install Windows Media Center?

  I purchased, downloaded, installed and activated Windows 8 Pro on my laptop. Then I asked for and received the key to Microsoft's free product for the installation of Windows Media Center.  I used the key and installed Windows Media Center.

  My laptop restarts automatically after the installation of Windows Media Center, but my Windows 8 Pro has been is no longer enabled. When I tried to use the product key of Windows 8 again to reactivate Windows 8, I got a message saying that this product key had already been used by another computer.

  I thought that maybe I had done something wrong, then just to make sure, I repeated the procedure as a whole: I reinstalled and reactivated Windows 8 Pro. I checked under "System" to ensure it has been activated and it was.

  Then I used the free Microsoft product key once again to set up Windows Media Center for the second time. When this facility was completed, and the computer restarted, Windows 8 Pro is no longer enabled. And for the second time, when I tried to activate it using the product key Windows 8 Pro, I got a message saying that this key has already been used by another computer.

  So my question is: how install and activate Windows 8 Pro and then install Windows Media Center without disabling Windows 8?

  I suffer from the same problem you describe and even followed the same steps that you did.  After having my windows disable the first time after installing windows media center, I did the installation 'clear all' and he always gave me the message that my key was in use after installation of Media Center.  One thing I noticed, the last five digits of the key it lists on the page to turn on, show my key of windows instead of my windows media 8 pro key.  It almost seems like my windows media center key is somehow get confused with my windows 8 pro key.

• wmpkc32.exe and 0xC00D1199 error code when I start Windows Media Player

  Original title: wmpkc32.exe

  I run Windows XP.and my PC shows 0xC00D1199 and wmpkc.exe at different times or places. Are these interdependent? This happens when I want to launch Windows Media Player.

  Hello

  -Did you change your computer, after which the question began?
  -What version of Windows Media Player do you use?
  -Does the problem occur when you try to read a particular file or type when you launch Windows Media Player?

  wmpkc32.exe process belongs to malware and may violate your privacy. Please, scan your computer and remove potential threats using the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

  Note: You may lose the infected all data by eliminating malware.

  0xC00D1199: cannot play the file

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file because:

  1) you try to play a file that is NOT supported by the player.

  2) you try to play a file that the player does not support, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is NOT supported by the player.

  3) the file type is supported, but you try to play in a way that is not supported by the player. For example, you may have attempted to drag a DVD file with a .vob to DVD to Windows Media Player icon.

  I would recommend look you at this article and check if you play the file meets the criteria.

• When you start Windows Media Player I get error: "Server execution failed".

  Hello

  When I try to start Windows Media Player by double-clicking an audio or video file, I get the error "Server execution failed" for this file. Can someone tell me what this means and what I can do about it?

  Thank you

  Christi

  Hi Christi,

  You may receive this error if you try to open a file media shortly after the closing of Windows Media Player (WMP).  When you close WMP, the user interface is closed immediately, but WMP continues to be in a State of "shutting down" for a few seconds, and the process is still in activity during this period.

  To avoid this problem it should be enough to wait a few seconds before Windows Media Player opens, 2 seconds at least.

  You have a "ehshell.exe", in this place, and if so, what happens if you double click on that?

  You may need to uncheck 'Hide known file types' in Control Panel / folder Options / view to see file extensions.

• Windows Media Center showing the gray screen (no picture but sound OK)

  Hi everyone, I had a problem with Windows Media Center for several weeks now: when I try to watch television, either recorded or live (from my tuner), WMC shows a square white gray but audio works fine. Trying to open the .wtv files in WMP has similar problems - presenting a black screen but with complete audio. Other files video (I tried .avi and .wmv) still work correctly. WMC was playing TV files without a problem until one day, it just stopped working. There wasn't that no updates not installed that startup and the system has been installed costs less than a week before the problem started.

  After spending a whole week looking for solutions online, there seem to be many people who have had this problem, but all have been fixed by different methods, and none of them seem to work here. I will list what I tried: installation and reinstallation of different codec packs, reinstall the WMC, uninstall and then reinstall all the Turners and the graphics drivers, setting the parameters within the WMC, graphics cards settings adjustment. I also tried to make a 'fresh' start (no extra service, just basic Microsoft services) to try and see if a particular service is causing the problem, but even in these conditions, the problem persists.

  I hope someone can help, if you need more information, let me know.

• Vista / windows media center / missing mouse pointer

  Hi I recently bought vista Home premium v6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 and have all the updates.

  I have 2 similar problems.
  When I start windows media center I lose the mouse pointer and if I use alt - tab returns in other running programs such as office. so it seems only to be windows media center problem.
  to exit the program I have to ctrl-alt-del and use taskmanger to complete the process, but even if it works sometimes.

  I get a similar problem with other programs, especially when loading software.
  It was not to display the error on the top window or place an item in the taskbar.

  and I don't get to see if I minimize all other windows.

  It's on a laptop Acer 1810 entered t oem installed with vista home premium.

  radar888,
  The first thing you posted in the category Windows Update, but I moved this forum hardware and drivers.

  However, in safe mode, your computer starts with generic basic hardware drivers.  That's why it will give an error that your video card is not good enough for Media Center.  The fact that the mouse works properly in safe mode indicates that you have a driver problem.  I would update ALL your hardware drivers (video, sound, NETWORK, touchpad, etc...).  Then test the position of the mouse.  You can check with the Acer site for drivers.  You can check with the hardware manufacturer for the latest drivers for your video card.
