  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  You say "my computer XP and Vista" are this one computer dual boot with XP and Vista, or is - the two computers 'single '?

  If it happened "yesterday" did you updated anything or whatever installed?

  Having only happened yesterday have you tried a "System Restore" to see if this corrects the problem?

  If you get not a photo is the antenna in place properly?

• Windows Media Player does not support the codec used to compress the file.

  I can't do some of my videos to play it goes on to say that Windows media player does not support the codec used to compress the file. How can I fix?

  Hello

  What is the file format of the video files you are trying to play in Windows Media Player?

  Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

   

  You may encounter this error message for the following reasons:

  (a) the file type is supported by the drive, but the file was compressed by using a codec that is not supported by the player.

  (b) the file might have been encoded with a codec that is not supported by Windows Media Player. If this is the case, Windows Media Player cannot play the file.

  Windows media player will play only the files and videos only if it supports this type of file.

  Please see the bottom of the article that gives you information on the types of media files that supports Windows Media Player.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992

  If the files are not supported by Windows media player, then you will need to use a few players from third party that supports this file format.

  WARNING OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Windows Media Player does not recognize the new downloaded songs

  I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr: race AY014AA-ABA, Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit.

  I just found out that Windows Media Player does not recognize the songs, I recently downloaded from Wal-Mart music download Site.  The songs can be seen in the music library in a folder called 'Downloads' and I can open each song and he will play when double-clicked.  The problem is that I can't create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the reading list, because the songs are not listed in the Media Library Player any hot it is sorted (artist, Album, Genre, etc.).

  Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Mitch

  Problem solved!

  Went to: start == > Control Panel == > troubleshooting == > view all == > and ran troubleshooting on the library and the settings of WMP.

  Convenience store detected library corrupt and "in media files appear in the WMP library.  Then ran convenience store on WMP settings which reset OMP to default settings.  After that, everything worked as announced.

  Thanks to Big_Dave for putting me on the right track.

• Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11

  Microsoft windows media player does not retain the previous size. is irrtating so me gift of reorganize its size every time when I open it.plz help I want stable wmp version 11, version 12 is sucks.

  Hello, Simone

  I'll assume you're on Windows 7. Windows Media Player 12 is not supported on Windows Vista or XP and as such, you will need to go back to Windows Media Player 11.

  You can check the permissions in the registry to ensure that it is able to record information.

  Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

  Open the registry editor by clicking on start, type regedit.exe in the search box and press on enter, you may be prompted to continue.

  In the registry editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, MediaPlayer, then Preferences.

  It should be an element named LastLocation_26, right-click on it and select Rename, and rename it to old LastLocation_26.

  Leave the open registry editor and open Media Player, then move it to your favorite place and close Media Player.

  In the registry editor, press F5 on your keyboard and check if LastLocation_26 has been recreated.

  If this is not the case, there is probably a permissions problem.

  If so, the location must be registered.

  Let us know.

• Windows Media Center is not in the list of all programs - Vista Home Premium

  Hi, I can't find Windows Media Center on my computer - I have Windows Vista Home Premium.

  I try to use my TV on my computer. It has a built-in TV Tuner. But I can't find Media Center.

  I know when I got the computer last year - it came with something to activate the TV - but I have no internet at this point - so nothing could be done. Since then, I've upgraded to Service Pack 2. All the documentation said that Media Center should be there. I've looked everywhere and Media Center does not appear to be more!

  Can you please help - if I don't now how can I access the Media Center.

  Thanks in advance.

  Julie

  Thanks for this, before I saw this, I worked on how to solve this problem.

  First, I downloaded the cumulative update for Windows Media Center-still nothing.

  Then I peeked my Control Panel/Default Programs/Set Program Access and Computer Defaults.

  My settings were now on the custom, and default media player - tick on "Enable access to this program" next to Windows Media Center had been removed! (of course by another media program)-I reticked this box and as if by magic, the program appeared in all programs and was now visible to the rest of the computer. "

  This setting should make it invisible to the rest of the computer - he of course does not use if it is checked.

  (I also found once I ticked the box next to Windows Media Player (who had also disappeared, even if it was marked as a media player by default) - he also appeared in the all programs list- and he had never been there before!) I know because I had to go and insert my link on the desktop to access it.

  All sorted - what a huge relief. Just as it takes.

• Why Windows Media Center does not display tile of Internet TV?

  Does not accept downloads

  Hello, Packard37

  You are in the US, UK or elsewhere?

  Internet TV is available only in the United States and the United Kingdom - assuming that you are located in the United States / UK:

  Check your region settings in Windows. Go to start > Control Panel > clock, language and region > region and language. On the location tab, make sure that the country is selected in the administration tab, make sure that the language is also correct as well, otherwise click the settings change system locale.

  Go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

  After you run this command, open Media Center and check if it is available, otherwise, you may need to reset the Media Center, note that this operation removes all custom settings and you will need to re-run the installation again:

  Open the command prompt, as described above once again and then type the following command and press ENTER: MediaCenterRecoveryTask - %SystemRoot%\ehome\mcupdate.exe

  One time only complete, open Media Center and run through the configuration. If you do not immediately see the Internet TV, let Media Center open for about 5-10 minutes, then restart and check if it is available or not.
