Win 8 consumer overview will include Media Center?

• Win 8 consumer overview allocation of memory

  I installed Win 8 in VM Player 4.0 on a laptop of HP under Win 7 Professional 32-bit with 4 GB of ram. (Yes, I know that Win 7 32 bit can only use 3 GB of ram).

  I initially allocated 2 GB ram (Max recommended) to win 8 and it ran OK, but there seems to be a lot of beating HD (HD swap?) past. I have reset the settings of virtual computer to allocate only 1 GB (recommended) to win 8 and it seemed to work much better. less derouillee and more rapid response when running win 8.

  So the question is: why to win 8 runs faster with less ram?  Is that because it uses only the "excess" 1 GB of ram that does not use Win 7? When I got the 2 GB allocated, he fought with Win 7 for memory space?

  > So the question is: why to win 8 runs faster with less ram?

  This is normal - each VM will go faster if you assign as little RAM if necessary

• replace the RAM, the need to activate Windows 7 OEM new will affect Media Center DRM?

  Title says it all.

  In order to avoid BSOD that * could * be linked to the RAM, I replace two DIMMs with a different model.  When I swapped the locations for the original DIMMs, I received a message stating that the material had changed and I had to re-activate Windows.  That's happened.
  I am now assuming that completely change the RAM will trigger the message "hardware changes took place.  I use this PC as an HTPC with a Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner card, and I have a lot of copy - once programs and films recording.  I don't want to lose the ability to play them.
  My guess is that the reactivation will not affect the DRM.  It does not seem to have done with the recent reactivation. It's not like it's a new motherboard or system disk, but I would be sure.
  Thank you.

  (1) change of RAM only is unlikely to trigger an activation request - although if other materials also has changes in the recent past, he can do.

  (2) activation and DRM are totally different things, and should not affect the other.

• Windows Media Center will not be updated to allow the Blu Ray

  Hello

  I have an Acer laptop that supports Blu Ray disc, but when I go to play with Windows Media Center there is a pop up that says that "an essential element must be updated", but whenever I click "update", it tells me that my internet connection is not working it may not update. I checked and there is nothing wrong with my internet connection and library still refuses to update. Is there a way to force it to update? Or another program that will support the Blu Ray?
  Thank you
  Kerryn
  There is no native support in Windows for the Blu - Ray, including Media Center. You
  need a third-party Blu Ray player. What Blue Ray software supplied with your
  computer? It works as a standalone program?

• Media Center on Win 7 "stopped working".

  Bought this new computer with Win 7 in July, 10.  Media Center has worked, (like my old pc) until this last week.  Yet the recordings of TV programs I get RoadRunner cable, but won't let me play same.  I get the msg: WMC has stopped working.  The choices are "to search the solution over the internet" and "close".  That I see, nothing happens when I select the first Pope and WMC turns off.  MSG, basically, has the following listed (?): CLR20r3, ehshell.exe, 6.1.7600.16385, 4a5bccdc, mscorlib, 2.0.0.0, 4bebd50b, f50, 7, N3CTRYE2KN3C34SGL4ZQYRBFTE4MI3NB, 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3, 1033 (hope, I just copied correctly - what it means).

  I was able to play a few shows previously recorded by restarting the pc, then selecting a show and play.  Three light like that, but now I can't screen "msg".

  I think MC is still able to record.  I always get the guide, live tv, etc.  At least the last time I tried the ones I did.

  But I can't play what has been saved!

  If anyone has a solution, please send me an email to * address email is removed from the privacy * that an ad has been filed.

  
  You has not, coincidentally, happens to record last Friday (I think it is?) episode of human target (what happened to be replaced by a House reruns), did you?
  Reason I ask: it has been a little traffic on to thegreenbutton on the subject these days - and everyone who reported also arrived to try to save human target.  Somehow, the file finished with metadata is corrupted, what makes MC crash when you enter recorded TV (at best, it crashes when you select the program from the list.)
  FIX: Open Explorer and go to C:\users\Public\Recorded TV.  Find and remove "human Target__"(exemple: «La Target_WDIVDT_2010_10_01».) ".
  Start Media Center, and then try again.  Fixed?

  HTH,

• (KB951847) x 86 operating system Win XP SP3 Media Center

  I get a message that this update was not installed when I try to update. I was able to upgrade to version 2 SP1 I think. With the automatic update, it tries to install every day.

  Could someone explain to me how can I do a clean boot to install this update and then return to the normal start-up boot. I got some good info, but I'm not sure that I gave correct BONES as info did not include Media Center. I would like to be able to print the entire procedure before attempting. I had to restore my computer recently and so far it's the biggest problem I had... The error code is error Code installation failure) x 643.

  Thank you previos help, sorry that I did not sent all the info.

• HP Media Center M7690N: upgrade network adapter Gigabit - what card to replace the product to install

  Hi, this could be a long post for something simple then I apologize in advance.

  I recently updated my cable modem, router wireless at HQ and 150mbps broadband internet services. Came and went with the support technique of ISP and modem manufacturer and max results with speedtest I can get up to 92mbps. Seems that everything goes well on their ends. Not sure, but I suspect the 10/100 network adapter is my limit. So I bought a PCI Gigabit card and now I don't know what location to use. There is a dial-up modem connection in a slot and a wireless local area network (that I don't need) card in another. I thought I'd be able to recognize what PCI slot to use if there is a connector cable ethernet to one of the cards, but no. The ethernet connection is on a frame connected to the motherboard... so I was wondering if someone would have an idea to which PCI slot to swap? The Dial-up modem card or wireless Lan slot? Or is the network card built into the motherboard?

  I learned that the peak of out to something like 130mbps PCI slots so I'm not expecting to get all the way to speed 150mbps broadband, but I would like to get as close as I can. And hope I'm on the right track with change of the network card.

  Last year, I improved the two 1 TB hard drives each in a Raid? stripped configuration, maxed out at 8 GB memory and added new Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. The little girl runs really well. I just wanted to give my trusty HP one more push.

  Any idea would be appreciated... Thank you very much.

  BK-

  I'd rather have an insightful dialogue than to have to ask you some questions.

  You motherboard has 3 PCI slots.   Update external wireless modem does not help you support system that the internal Wi - Fi card does not match his speed, it's an old map of Wireless LAN 802.11 b/g.  The remote access card is actually a 56K bps modem data / fax, useless, unless your in Fax?  According to the HP website, you also have a PCI TV card (you do not have to mention)?

  (1) if the Fax is not used, remove the card. Use this location.

  (2) the old wireless card is now useless.

  (3) be aware you will lose Media Center if you ever upgrade to win 10 and many more.

  Well, you did ask!  Treat the daughter of old nice. You have until 2020 to Jan.  Read this also. Fun.  

• Windows Media Center in WIndows 10?

  Will Windows Media Center update and included in 10 widows? If this is not done I have to stay on Windows 7

  Non - Media library will be unavailable... I would stick with W7 in any case.  I think that people on 8 or 8.1 can benefit of the passage, but W7 is good and will be supported by MS until 2020. -CIR

• Media Center does not open on Windows 8.

  Recently built a new PC with Win 8 64-bit Pro and Media Center add-on bought.  However, whenever I click on the WMC icon, nothing happens. I installed a bunch of software on my machine, and some of it was a bit old stuff that I had to run in compatibility mode + install other updates (from / seller directly) to work to win 8. I have no doubt that if some of the older things may have pushed something - it seems, remind one of them wanting to install a .NET framework or something - but I don't know how to solve problems.

  I tried to turn the checkboxes of the WMC feature and restart but that did not help. I tried to start the PC in safe mode to see if that would help solve the problems, but he did not. My ideas on how to solve the problems and if there is anything I can do in addition to trying the Windows 8 update (ugh). Any ideas to help me? The update would be worth trying? I really don't want to spend a whole day trying to track this one down and a lot of software that I'm not sure that the uninstall is the culprit or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Hi David

  Can you please be more specific as to our image Enhancement Utility Toshiba is on? In my opinion, you can run this utility, make any desired setting and confirm with OK. Close image Enhancement Utility and then start Media Center.

  Have you checked is this brand present on some other cases such as DVD playback or something like that?

• Help with DMA2100-CA. Media Center stop itself.

  Hello. This problem started 2-3 weeks ago. When I go to the "videos" section in Media Center on my TV, try to select a file to play, a message will appear 'Media Center stops'. Then he goes to the logoff screen and stops. The Media Center to reboot, it goes to the screen to reconnect. Once reconnected, Media Center again, but still the same problem.

  Funny is that she will play some files and not others. All files are technically the same Xvid avi. Some files will play with no synchronized sound and some will break Media Center as soon as I select them.

  Online TV works fine. Photos and music work very well.

  Help, please

  Hello

  Now that you mentioned that the MediaCenter Application on the PC has a problem too, then this is the source of the problem. If the MediaCenter Application on the PC hangs even without the DMA2100 lit, then something has gone wrong with the application on the PC and that the error is to be cascaded when you use the DMA2100. As mentioned earlier, you might really need to do a system restore to the time where you don't have yet of all the errors on the MediaCenter Application or you can find the exact Windows update that causes the issue related to the MediaCenter Application on the PC and remove/uninstall it.

  On the link of the forum below, he mentions that the MediaCenter Application breaks down can also be caused by a CODEC that has been installed or even drivers for the video card.

• How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?

  How can I reinstall the Windows Media Center Gadget on my PC with Windows 7, 64-bit?  I had left it one day and now I don't know where he is. I went into the control panel and tried to 'Restore the Gadget', but he said it was not something to restore.

• LAN Connection stopped working on my computer running WIN XP MEDIA CENTER

  My LAN connection stopped working on my WIN XP MEDIA CENTER-based computer. I have access to the internet with optimum online. I have a router connected to my cable modem (US Robotics) wireless and desktop with the functioning of the wired connection stopped. My wireless connection on my laptop works very well on the same network. I first stop the modem, router, computer and re started at all. Modem Router 1 2nd, then on computer. Usually works, but not this time. Contacted optimum online and went through some procedures to correct the problem. Open cmd prompt, ping tried only to get 3 of any answers and 1 reply. Tried ipconfg / renew, did not work.  Firewall had closed during all of this. Service representative from optimum online said that he could see my modem was working but something like a firewall was blocking my computer access. Tried ipconfig/all and gave him the ip address he asked which showed, 169.254.80.196, he said that address will not work and we continued trying to renew the ip address, and we could achieve.

  Now I mention here that this problem occurred when I had a power surge while I was online. I rebooted and this is the problem that I was. I asked the rep optimal online what else could be the cause as a virus or damaged surge my LAN or OS and he said for me to try to get in touch with microsoft and perhapse they could help me more. I hope someone has an answer for me.

  Please... Help!

  Thank you

  Don Soutar

  Watch 169.254.x.x IP address only:

  • The connection to the LAN is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and:
  • He cannot communicate with your router to get the address.

  The surge may have damaged the computer's Ethernet card.  If so, replacing it with a new adapter will fix the problem.
