  Hello notnewbee,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

  You do not give the model of your printer/scanner/fax machine so I can't direct you to the website of the manufacturer of specifc. However, I would
  you go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and download the latest drivers for Windows 7. Sometimes, if you use a driver that is not intended for your operating system, then your device can operate and install, but some features may not work.

  If they do not have an updated driver, then try the compatibility mode for Windows XP and see if your printer will work correctly.
  The information below will show you how you can make older programs run on Windows 7 here.

  If please reply back and let us know if this helps solve your problem or if you still need help.

• I need the updated drivers for Conexant 23880 Video Capture (Blackbird NTSC double entry) and Conexant 2388 x MPEG Encoder. Media Center won't work... It does not find my tuner.

  It worked fine on previous versions of Windows including Vista Ultimate. I'm now running Windows 7 Ultimate.

  This does not mean that the procedures above do not work, but I did the following:

  1. Download and run spring 2004 original TV Tuner Driver Collection (sp24012.exe)
  2. Open the Device Manager
  3. Uninstall the wrong drivers Conexant highlighted by the yellow triangle with exclamation point. Click on delete to remove the driver
  4. Disconnect from the internet
  5. In Device Manager, click Action > search the hardware changes (if you don't unplug Internet, a ToolTip is displayed informing you that drivers are updated from the internet. Click on the bubble, make right click in the window that opens, click on cancel the update)
  6. Follow the instructions to install the drivers from C:\hp\drivers\TVTuner

  Windows Media Center should recognize your TV tuner.

• Windows 7 - Media Center - photos - slide show settings - sides

  QUESTION: Did anyone know if you can set the slide show according to different sides so that the slide show will play only pictures rated 4 and 5 stars for any folder of pictures (and not show photos rated 3 and below)?

  PROBLEM: It seems that you can set Media Center to view a slideshow of 4 and 5 star pictures for every single photo on a computer in a massive slide show. If it is possible to change my slide show's settings so that I can see the pictures of only 4 and 5 stars (and no pictures rated 3 and below) for any given issue, I was not able to find it.

  USER SCENARIO: I shoot 1,000 photos at a wedding and I rate 30 of these 5 stars, I note one another 900 as 4 stars, 50 I rate 3 stars, and the other 20 Note: 1 star for eventual deletion. I want someone to be able to use Media Center to show only the photos of 5 stars to friends (30 photos), but when family comes and they want to see more photos, they can change the Media Center slide show's settings so that the family sees only the photos 4 stars and 5 stars (80 photos).

  NOTE: It seems to me that the global settings are a limited setting or another, but never a combination of two or more. I can view and play photos in a folder given with Media Center in an appreciation of deceasing order, it does not work for associated events like a wedding time, or I can see all 4 and 5 stars for my entire computer, but not folder?

  Any help on this or recommended 3rd party Slideshow program would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you, Chris.

• Windows xp Media Center from windows xp media center for windows 7

  Hi Bevtravel,

  Windows Media Center on Windows XP, like Windows 7, can use external USB TV Tuner to watch/record TV. Make sure that external USB TV Tuner is compatible with the version of Windows Media Center that you have on your computer (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.).

  Access the link to learn more about recording TV in Media Center.

• Windows 7 Media Center: scanning channels - System.EntryPointNotFoundException

  My Windows 7 Media Center has worked very well for a few years, a few days ago, some television channels have lost their EPG and I then ran the channel scan who got in what relates to downloading the guide, then crashed as it seems to start to scan channels:

  System.EntryPointNotFoundException was not handled
  Message = entry point was not found.
  Source = ehiProxy

  ...

  I deleted it and reinstalled Media Center in Windows 7 features and erased, it has databases using "mcupdate - MediaCenterRecoveryTask" and deleted all the latest Windows updates (but not security patches) and I tried a different USB TV tuner but it always crashes.  As I know everything, but the channel scan works very well.  I don't often find chains so don't know when it went wrong, but can not think of a new software which would have affected it.

  Probably the exception I have now two incompatible parts of the software on the machine, but what are they and how can I solve this problem?

  Ideas please...

  Finally, I had all this work once again :)

  To do this, I uninstalled all Windows updates and patches safety installed this year, uninstalled Windows Media Center from Windows features, rebooted and reinstalled Windows Media Center.

  At this point, he still had the flaw.  Finally still with no idea of what could be the problem, I gave up, ran the scan channels one last time which failed, then reinstalled all the Windows updates, try running Windows Media Center Channel Scan again just in case, and it worked perfectly, the guide is also fully filled again.

  I guess you updates of Windows was installed incorrectly and killed the Media Center channel scan.

  Thanks for trying to help.

• 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.
