  • Windows Media Center 7 (64-bit) falls down for TV Set Up

    We have recently installed a Ceton Infinitv Quad Tuner (and the latest updates and SW) for our Windows 7 Ultimate PC.  I followed previous forum advice and started the PC to the selective startup to isolate third-party issues, run the .net framework Cleanup tool, reinstalled the components needed .net framework (1.0, 1.1, 3.5, 3.5 SP1 and 4.0) and disabled MC Update.  None of them have worked.

    I get to the settings--> TV and Media Center menu crashes or TV---> Set Up TV Signal and Media Center crashes with a message 'Media Center' stopped working.  Other than this issue Media Center works very well.

    Any suggestions for how to deal with this?

  • "Look at one or more conflicts tuned" message in Media Center - without a TV tuner after the Win Update

    My ATI TV Wonder tuner Digital Cable Ready with my desktop computer HP Pavilion Media Center (Vista 64), has worked and the TV Tuner received 135 channels of cable TV has recorded up to WHAT I've done an update optional Windows which included something for the ATI TV Wonder software. Maybe it's a coincidence, but ever since then, I get the message 'Display or listening to conflict' when I try to watch live TV. System Restore does not resolve the problem. So my problem is, I can't view or record live TV.  All the other features of Windows Media Center always seem to work as it is supposed to.

    If I have access to tasks > settings > TV > TV Signal and try setting the option of TV Signal or Digital Tuner Diagnostics options, I get a "no tuner hardware detected... Please ensure equipment is installed correctly...» »

    I can still play my previously recorded TV files very well. I can get the Media updates > News > MSNBC.com online all day and can watch the news clips daily including archives.

    I have the 1.19 firmware update. It has been downloaded and applied by the Device Manager. Yet, no TV. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the firmware according to the AMD instructions that suggest to reapply the firmware without the CableCard installed card and in a window of 2 to 10 minutes of turning on the device. This does not solve the problem either.

    I bought a new ATI TV Wonder unit exactly as the former, exchanged, but I still have the same problem. I also took the ATI TV Wonder unit and cables and hooked it up to my laptop HP Media Center, and the TV Tuner has received from live TV. So I know the receiver module within the ATI unit is not bad. I also replaced my graphics card, but that was not the problem.

    Thanks for taking a peek at my problem.

    After unsuccessfully trying everything I could find that had the potential to solve my problem, I finally solved the problem myself. It's actually a corrupted Windows file that allows my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the ATI TV tuner works fine.

    A 'thank you' to everyone who pitched in to help.

  • 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?

  • Win XP Media Center SP3 won't install

    I try to install SP3 on my laptop HP Pavilion Windows XP Media Center 2002 SP-2 running. I tried to use the automatic update and it failed several times. I removed my anti virus and tried again. No luck. I downloaded the SP3 and tried to install it in safe mode. He failed. Whenever he is in the final stage and then crashes. It does not provide an error message. I let it run all night but no progress, and then I have to close it with the Task Manager.

    Any ideas?

    Start by looking at this article: steps to take before installing XP SP3

    If you can boot into Safe Mode with command prompt, or if you have a XP CD and you can boot into the Recovery Console, and then run the following command: Chkdsk/r

  • I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

    original title: error with ehshell.exe

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

    This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

    You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

    I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.

    Follow these 4 steps to install the KB925766 correctly:

    a. 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:

    i. click on start, run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.

    II. Click to select the show updates check box.
    III. in the list currently installed programs, locate the following item:

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

    b. to install this update, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installed. Windows Update detects whether these packages are installed. Windows Update automatically installs these packages for you.

    (i) follow the link below to download the .net framework 1.1 manually:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a8f5654f-088e-40b2-bbdb-a83353618b38&displaylang=en

    c. cumulative update 2 for the Windows XP Edition Media Center 2005 (KB900325)
    Follow the link below to download and install the KB900325:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=e5daf37e-E243-4410-BC51-81cf2b56fe6e
