  Hello
  I have an Advent 8111 laptop and I am trying to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I have a copy of the Widows XP MCE 2005 to my IT Department at my workplace as they said that they could download and burn for me quickly!

The error window pops up saying "you entered the CD key is not valid" and I don't see any other option to have passed this stage. I contacted ADVENT but they were not able to help. What should I do next?

  Where did you downloaded it go?  Are they legal?

• Windows 7 Media Center will not download the new guide listings

  Hello

  I am really frustrated. WMC will not download the new guide listings and I tried all the patches that are supposed to be that I found in this forum. I also tried the system restore, which did not fix the problem. Obviously the problem is not affected by the restore program.

  I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

  I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?

  Thank you

• Windows 7 Media Center blocks all programs start - HELP - green buttons everywhere

  Hello

  I have a laptop Acer Windows 7 (new) / and Office XP - Office 7 free trial ran out. Anyway, I can't open any programs on my computer since the implementation of Media Center.

  Last night, I downloaded from CNET programs, including the FreeZonlineTV and a few others. I remember during Setup, Media Center was downloading something that took a long time - I thought that it was creating a library or something - it was late - sorry. In any case, this morning the download is complete, I have a bunch of little green buttons on all my programs on the desktop (shortcuts). I also have this same green button on everything in my Start menu, (i.e., Skype, ITunes, MRI, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word, Mozilla Firefox, etc.) When I click on any of them, the media goes full screen. It does not actually close. It is now in my taskbar - I can't minimize it - it appears full screen again when I try. I decreased the size of the window now, and there's just on the side of my desk.

  I tried Ctrl/Alt/Del and ending the Media Center, but it just POPs right up again. I tried to delete or disable Media Center, but when I'm in the section of the control panel I need to disable to turn it off, media center pop up and don't let not even get me in the section where I can check or uncheck something.

  I can not restore - media center stop the it. I. Please help - I can't even open word documents - this is urgent. Oh, it also disabled by AVG and other antivirus programs so I can't even scan. I ran Advance care system and did a diagnostic scan - found defrag required - done - but, when I tried to get into other programs on Advance care system, guess what - a bunch of little green buttons on all of these programs as well.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

• Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Guide Movie Database must be updated?

  OK guys, that here's what I would have answered as: I have Windows XP Media Center 2005 and use the program guide. When I see a lising for a movie and see the details for this movie she usually shows a copy of the DVD box cover or poster of the film with the inscription. Unfortunately, it only will do with cinema 2010 programs. For films released AFTER 2010, it doesn't show anything at all, except the written information about the film. No box cover or poster of the film at all. (I know that some of these DVDs are already out). Is it possible that the AMG can send an updated movie databases (and possibly CD) for use on the Media Center for all editions via Microsoft Update?

  A month ago, my laptop computer motherboard fried.  I bought a similar laptop with no hard drive and a screen broken off of ebay and tinkered together in a working computer.  However, I have Windows XP home on the hard drive of the old computer and a Windows XP media center 2005 sticker on the new product key.   Product key update tool Windows won't let me upgrade to the new key.  Is there a way for me to update my windows media center Edition, so that the key work?

  What a pleasure - this really makes the license issues a joy.
  If I understand you right, "fried" your old computer was XP Home Edition - and the replacement motherboard came from a machine with MCE?
  If so, then Yes, you must use the MCE license, rather than the home one. To be entirely legal, it must also have the sticker COST MCE glued to the box.
  MCE is XP Pro - which is a reason that you can not change just the product key-based. The other is that the update tool simply is not designed to work with MCE.
  What can you do?
  Unfortunately, there is no way around it, whatever you do will involve a clean install (to backup your data first led outdoors!) If you want to stick with MCE.
   
  (1) you can go to the manufacturer of the MCE machine and ask if they can provide the recovery disc for this machine - if you're lucky, they may still have some in stock. If they are not, try restoredisks.com
  (2) you can take your life in your hands and download a torrent of a set of installation MCE - it's going to be at least two CD there are a couple of "real" out there, who are free of malicious software, but most is contaminated in some way, so be very careful and do due diligence on any download you.
  (3) you can try to find a legitimate MCE pack on sale somewhere - I don't know what it should cost, or that also the prices on them are moving from MS stopped making years and they are like gold dust. (XP Pro prices are rising, but I suspect that MCE prices may be down).
  (4) you can purchase a legal license for XP Edition family - again, be very careful where you buy-it came to a point where there are more counterfeits than legal market. This would allow you to use the update tool to keep your current installation.
   
  Note that there is no such thing as a 'detail' MCE - MCE all licenses are OEM and as such, cannot upgrade a XP Home license, where my earlier warning about backing up your data.

• Security Suite blocking Windows Media center to connect to the Extender

  I was initially a little happy home network with an xbox 360, a wired router and my pc under Windows 7 ULT(64bit) Norton 360 AV. During my AV license expires, I downloaded the version of my ISP (Norton Security Suite 4) to replace.

  Now I can't Media center to add or discover the Extender. I added to Windows Media Center svchost.exe to the list of permitted programs, but it doesn't have the thing.

  In help on the xbox live forums, suggestions are to work with the Windows Firewall not Norton. The Norton software has a different interface for the administration of the rules and I saw not a place where you can designate which programs can access which ports. And half of the programs listed as Qwave, Remote Desktop etc, I can't even find the interface of Norton.

  If anyone knows or has worked this issue before Norton Security suite please respond when you can. Thank you

  Hello

  You can try the steps below and check if that helps.

  (a) in the main window of Norton Internet Security (Protect computer, privacy), in the network pane, click settings.

  (b) under smart firewall, in line with program control, click Configure.

  (c) in the control of the program window, click Add.

  (d) in her select a program dialog box, locate the executable file for the program that you want to add.

  (e) click Open.

  (f) in the program control window, select the level of access that you want this program to have

  You can also check out the link below and check if that helps to allow access to the Media Center Extender.

• Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

  Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

  You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

  Thanks for your help and your time

  Martyna

  Hello

  Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
  A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
  If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

  You should also check that you firewall settings.

  Can someone help me get the most out of Windows Vista media center with my new Qosmio G50.

  There is a tuner inside this laptop and I have the antenna and its plugged in. The drivers all seem to be installed but WMC tells me that I don't have the hardware to run FM stations and I can't make it work. Also, I can't record library but although I can't watch TV no problem at all.

  Someone out there have the answer?

  Are you sure that your equipped G50 FM tuner to 100%?

  As I know a few models of G50 has been equipped with a tuner TV with antenna TV port that allows to connect a coaxial cable to this port to watch a TV program and then save.
  But as I said earlier, this feature is not included with all models of G50.

• 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.
