I use to be able to pick up a signal from TV, but since a new reinstall of xp media center I can not get a signal - the message says that I need a video decoder, where can I get this article

Hi davidwiddecombe,
 

A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding). Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

Use your favorite search engine and browse for such a program which is used to.

  • Restoration of disks for HP M7250N Media Center XP

    I have a HP Media Center Desk Top System Mod # M - 7250N who has Win XP Media Center 32 bit single core cpu Intel 2.8 and 4 GB of ram installed. I bought the computer new from Best Buy a few years ago. I had a breakdown of complete hard drive a few weeks ago. I'm looking for my restore disks but could not locate them. I contacted HP support and was advised that he would convey restore disks to me when they become available. It is some time now with no response and I don't think that I will get no help on that date. My wife uses the system of family history research and I was after her forever to save things, but that was not done.

    Hi, Terry:

    You probably know more to get the HP recovery discs I do since you called them and they said they would send them when back in stock.

    The problem with that is that they're probably never coming back back in stock.

    However, this place has a set of $27 + shipping costs.

    .. and Yes, your PC can run Windows 7 well. I checked the specifications and all the hardware is windows 7 capable.

    Alternatively, you can check for yourself by running the free W7 Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft. All your other stuff connected and turned on like printers, scanners, etc.

    The program will scan and report his ability to work on W7.

    Here is the link to this tool.

  • Problem, reinstall the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

    I have problems with MCE 2005.  My hard drive crashed and the technician that restored my repressive said that he could not work in MCE 2005.  It's a shame because he was working before the hard drive crashes.  I work with windows XP.
    When I go to install the internet and begin to test the connection it gives me "Critical error of process - Code 2"
    When I go to the TV configuration, it tells me "Tuner not found".  Even if I know it works because I also Win TV7 in Hauppauge. My TV tuner is HVR-1600.
    With these problems, I thought that the solution might be to reinstall rollup 2 according to the Microsoft.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910905
    However, when I go to reinstall the Update Rollup 2, it seems to be to establish a restore point and then it stops when it hits hotfix (KB891593).
    I took a copy of the mcelog and have attached a copy of the log below.

    Assistance or management, you can provide me to solve this problem would be highly appreciated.

    At this point, I'm a newbie to this and I don't have a clue as to the cause of my problems and any ideas you may have for me would be much appreciated.

  • Try to install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 - on SP3.

    Hello

    All this started when my Xbox360 is dead, sent it for repair, came home another, all hung up and tried to connect to the Media Center. Of course, it did not work and the screen says to uninstall? (something), I forgot today, it has been a long road since then. BUT I uninstalled Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 and updates that came after. NOW realize it was a mistake, I'm not of the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 on your computer. And I'm confused regarding why, for the first time, that I can't find a single KB article on this problem.

    And even if I did not restore the system off, there is no restore point on my machine.

    So I'm always searching in google and microsoft.com but a little lost right now.

    Moccan,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  I would like to know if you read this article for the hotfix rollup: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900325.  In particular the section more information, which has this:

    If the 886904 update is installed, you must uninstall the 886904 update before you install the Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Otherwise, the installation of .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 will fail.

    To determine whether the 886904 update is installed, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.
    2. Click to select the Show updates check box.
    3. In the currently installed programs list, look for the following element:
      Fix for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904)

    If you see this option, you must remove the hotfix. To remove the patch, click Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Hotfix (KB886904), and then click Remove. Then, visit the Windows Update Web sit to download and install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
