• 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

  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.

• Windows xp Media Center 2005 edition crashes while downloading the tv guide

  Installation of Media center TV guide comes to where I choose my provider and click Next the program freezes and the only way out is via the Task Manager. Any ideas? Ive updated XP and media center edition 2005 until units there is no more updates or extensions to download.

  I was wrong, I've been experimenting and finally succeeded. It has nothing to do with nividia.

  Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. There is also a client, delete that one too.

  Anyway, I tried to put it back recently, and for me it was ok.

  I suggest that you first try the update of windows. If this does not work, uninstall the foregoing.

  Problem was more for me after that, I really believe that it will be for you too.

  Good luck!

• I have upgraded to Windows XP Professional and now Windows XP Media Center won't play DVD - component missing.

  Now I have Windows XP Professional after the upgrade to Windows XP Media Center Edition Home 2005. Now my Media Center won't play DVDs and I keep getting the error message "Missing Component". I tried to reinstll cumulative update 2 for Windows XP Media Center 2005 that has worked for me the last time I had this problem, but now I get the Error Message "you must have Windows XP Media Center 2005 installed to get this download and it shows already on my computer as installed components. When I reinstalled it 3 years ago he corrected the problem of DVD. Help, please

  Thank you for your help. Here are the answers your request:

  "Windows XP Media Center version 5.1 Edition - this shows when I"run"- winver - ok.

  missing. Please contact the manufacturer of your hardware.
  KB article: WindowsXPMediaCenter2005-KB900325 - usa .exe
  The windows of origin is always on display as shown above, but I received a free upgrade to Windows XP Professional CD and installed on my computer. And under 'Information system', it shows as - Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3.

  This problem started about 10 days when I used the CD of XP Professional to correct a problem. My computer is a Dell Dimension 5100 and I have two CDs that were sent to me - Dell - Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP 3 and Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Version 2005 with update Rollup 2.

  Thanks again and I ran the "fix it" you suggested but it have no problem found to fix. Every thing works fine on my system, but Media Center won't play DVD. It will play CDs and videos on my system.

  The initial problem was that I could not download the Blackberry Desktop Software - updates needed. The computer came with Windows XP Media Center Edition Home and I use Internet Explorer 8 as my default browser. I also use Mozilla Firefox as my backup browser.

  Please stick to your thread to avoid confusion of origin: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/i-have-upgraded-to-windows-xp-professional-and-now/f5245962-e9b4-4415-8aff-bc1d972f8120

  Note that I asked you to MOVE your original thread on the forum of material WinXP, not start a new thread.

  Also note that you don't have NO Windows XP Media Center Edition, installed now if you upgraded to Windows XP Professional.

  PS: If "winver" still says Windows XP Media Center Édition, did you not correctly upgraded & something is not. Better contact the Dell Support on this issue (if they'll still talk to you).

• How to enable the DVD library in WIndows 7 Media Center

  How do you enable DVD library in Win 7 Media Center?  I tried editing the registry as in Vista, but it does not work with Win 7.  I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit version.  Thank you

  Hi zt75,

  Run you manually editing the registry?

  Have you clicked on fix it from the link below? If this is not the case, click on fixit and check if that helps.

  How can I enable the DVD library in Windows Media Center on a Windows Vista-based computer?
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930526

  (Although this article is for Windows Vista, we can always give it a shot in Windows 7.)

  Or do these steps and check.

  To enable the DVD library in Windows 7, follow these steps:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.
  4. in the list programs, click on regedit.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\Video settings

  6. in the Details pane, right-click VideoGalleryView, and then click on edit.
  7 remove the content that appear in the value data box.
  8. in the value data box, type Gallery, and then click OK. Registry value data: Gallery = Activate My DVD; Play = not to activate my DVD
  9. close the registry editor.

  To verify that the automatic fix worked, restart your computer. You should now see "DVD library" from the menu. To add DVDs, go to the menu information (click on 'i' on the remote control) and select "Add Movies.

  Try this also:

  1. If Windows Media Center is running, close it.
  2. click on start.
  3. in the search box, type regedit.

  5. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Start Menu
   
  Check if it has a value of HideDVD, and if the value data is set to 1. If the data in the value of HideDVD is set to 1, then you have two options. One option would be to delete the HideDVD value. The other option would be to change the value from 1 to 0 data.
  6. close the registry editor.

• Windows 7 Media Center plays audio from VOB, no video. However, the VOB files play fine in Windows Media Player 7. What gives?

  I have VOB files in a VIDEO_TS folder.  Windows 7 Media Center will generate a thumbnail for them, but when I play them I'm audio but not video.  However, when I play in Windows Media Player will play without any problem.  Can someone help me solve this problem?

  Hello Pinkled,

  Just got out how we can get video of .vob files play correctly:

  It's pretty simple, just add the folder to the library of MOVIES instead of VIDEOS. It is true that videos, just listen to the audio, but no video appears during playback.
  Once you add to the movie library, W7 Media Center it will read "like a DVD" then you will also be able to navigate through menus.

  Hope that works for you also.

  Kind regards

  Miguel.

• Windows 7 - Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file.

  WMP worked fine one day and then the other, it will not play any type of file.  I just get the error message "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." with each trying to play any type of file.  It won't play video or audio files, even those she played a few days ago.

  Dano_TR: try to use system restore to restore to a point from before the problem started to happen, as I have suggested earlier in this thread.

  In addition, if you have any installed codec Pack, try to remove the. Uninstall iTunes and Quicktime could also help.

• Problem changing channels in Windows 7 Media Center

  My Windows XP Media Center 2005 machine had a hard drive crash, and so I just replaced with a Windows 7 machine, also with a TV tuner.

  Old set up has worked perfectly, blaster/transmitter infrared has been able to control the cable box - Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2200 to Comcast.

  Set up the new machine, also with the IR Blaster.  New machine can change the channel correctly in 'Live TV'.  It works by pressing a channel upward / channel down, or entering the channel number.

  But when machine is trying to change the channel to start a new record, or jump off the Media Center Guide, it shows that the first digit, and then displays the cable box '? "and does not change the channel.  So I think it's something that the decoder does not correctly or correctly, interpret or Windows has problems, change the signal.

  I have experimented with different requirements of speed of IR and whether or not he must enter/OK but have not been able to make it work.

  Thoughts of what he must try or change then?

  Thanks for any help.

  Update on my original post.  I "think" I have success.  I am now able to change the channel using the guide and the system can change the channel while recording in the background.

  I went from the Scientific American cable on a 'Digital Transport adapter"box that Comcast sent me.  The manufacturer of the box is listed as "Made in China for Technicolor", and is the model number: DCI105COM1.  The box is extremely

  For the settings, I had to use: 3 digits, enter the channel number and the speed of the middle.

  Let's give it a few weeks and see how it works and if there are differences in quality.
