• Windows 7 Media Center Live TV and recorded TV no sound.

  After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and get all the drivers updated, Windows 7 Media Center has no sound for TV or recorded TV, but sound works for all other programs, including just play music in media center.  Reading DVD and Bluray will similarly play with surround sound with HP DVD BD play, then it is certainly not an audio card/driver problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  An additional note: If you look at mixing devices, remember that you have multimedia running. If you do not, it may appear not as part of mixer. When I got a pronlem with no sound in WMC, but WMP worked (as well as my other apps), it turns out be the problem, but you would only see it when WMC is running.

  Thanks, my TV sound is is arrested without reason, but everything except the sound effects in media center worked. turned out that some how the mixer was gone the media center to 0 and left it like that.

  music media player plays even when he is selected in media center is not affected

• Windows 7 media center tv guide planning lost .dll

  My anti-virus found a .dll suspect something like a regular planning. I deleted the .dll file and it seems that it was necessary for the update to Windows 7 media center tv guide (now displays the available data). I have reset media center several times with no luck. Unfortunately, I can't restore to an earlier date or obtain the file from my Recycle Bin. I still have Windows 7 64 bit upgrade disk if I can find the name of the file and know where to copy it in.

  Thanks for your help,

  jqh947

  Hi jqh947,

  1. you remember which dll file has been deleted?

  I would say Mr scanner SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

• Ehshell.exe error with Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, service pack 3

  Running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with service pack 3.  I get the ehshell.exe error when I try to watch live TV.  It crashes, debug and I usually won't have to ctrl-alt-del to get anywhere.  Do not seem to have this problem before I added various updates etc, tv was fine before this date.

  I'm not particularly computer so nice easy steps please...!

  Thank you, Nicholas

  Ehshell.exe is a Windows system file that is used to run Microsoft Media Center. It is not a critical system file. However, the ehshell.exe file can become infected and cause errors trying to run certain programs. If the ehshell.exe is absent, it can also cause errors. Reinstall a clean copy of ehshell.exe with the Microsoft System Restore.

  1. • 1

       Click on the "Start" menu, then click on "programs". Scroll down and click on "Accessories," then "system tools." Click "system restore."

• Windows XP Media Center 2002 - RUNDLL error message; "Error loading c:\WINDOWS/svacaciz.dll".

  I have Windows XP Media Center 2002 and implementing on the road, I get a RUNDLL error message; 'Error loading c:\WINDOWS/svacaciz.dll - the specified module was not e' Please HELP

  It is easy to get rid of the error message by doing something like disable the startup item in msconfig (if you can still find), but I suggest you fix the problem and difficulty not only the symptom of the problem simply remove the startup message.
  I would recommend also you start to search in the register, unless you have a backup because there is no 'Cancel' or 'quit without saving changes' option in regedit.  If you make a mistake, that's all.
  These ideas relieve 'rapid' and sometimes risky of the symptom, but may not actually solve the problem.  Also, I'd be suspicious of ideas that begin with the words "try."  You don't need to try things, you need to fix things.
  Here are the detailed instructions that protect you and solve your problem in the 'right' way.
  There is very little. DLL files that should be loaded from the C:\WINDOWS folder and is not one of them.
  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira
  !, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
  A "Cannot find...". ', ' Failed to start..., "Could not load..." ». "Might not work... "" Cannot run ""error loading... ". "or"specific module could not be found"message at startup is usually related to the malware that has been configured to run at startup, but the referenced file has been removed after a malware scan, leaving behind him a startup item or the registry entry pointing to a file that does not exist.
  It might be a removal of malicious software or an application not installed.  The entry may have a curious looking name since it was probably generated at random when the malware was installed. If you search your system for the referenced file, you may not find.
  Windows attempts to load this file but cannot locate because the file has been deleted for most probably during an analysis of the malware. However, an orphaned associate of remainders of startup parameter or registry entry and tells Windows to load the file when you start or connection.
  So you should delete the referenced entry Windows stop trying to load or run the file. It may or may not be included in the registry, but you can find it.  Autoruns (see below) you get the elements no matter where it is.
  If you just locate and uncheck the item in msconfig, which disables the element but does not remove the reference to the element of false starting your computer.   The msconfig program is not a Startup Manager, that's a troubleshooting tool.  Disabling things in msconfig to put an end to the messages and think that your problem is solved is short-sighted and leave behind him a sloppy XP configuration.  Just disable the display of a start-up error message should not count as a 'solution' to the problem.
  If you are comfortable editing the registry, you can find and remove the reference directly from there or remove it using a popular third-party tool called Autoruns.  The problem can always be found in the registry well.
  Before making any changes to your registry by hand or with third-party tools, don't forget to first make a backup of the registry. There is no cancellation or exit without saving the option in regedit.
  Here is a link to a popular registry backup tool:
  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html
  You can use Autoruns to find the element of start remains little matter where he's hiding.  Autoruns does not install anything on your computer.  It will display all startup locations where the reference may be then you can turn it off or remove it completely.  Here is the download link for Autoruns:
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
  Run Autoruns.exe and wait that he at the end of the filling of the list of entries.
  When the Autoruns is finished scanning your system, it will say "Ready" in the lower left corner.  Autoruns can be a little intimidating to first if you have never seen it before because it displays a lot of information.  You are really interested only a few sections.
  The problem is usually to start the system or the user startup entries, then click the connection tab and see if the startup item is there.
  Scroll through the list and look for a boot entry associated files in the error message.
  If you can't find on the connection tab, look in any tab.
  Right-click on the offending entry and choose Remove.  If you are not sure what it is, you can simply disable, restart and if the problem is resolved and then remove the offending entry
  .  If you don't see it in Autoruns, you may edit the registry and remove the item from your startup folder it.  Autoruns shall display the same information however.
  Given that you had or have an infection, followed with this:
  Perform scans for malware, and then fix any problems:
  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.
  Restart your computer and solve the outstanding issues.

  Do not guess what the problem might be - understand and resolve it. I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

• Windows Vista Media Center

  I'm having a problem to start the Media Center. It starts fine, but then when I press the live tv button or the record button, it freezes and the just little blue loading circle keeps going around and around and nothing happens. It was working fine before, I got a message that something could not be updated and restart my computer and try again. So I restarted my computer, but it has worked since then.

• Setup live TV in Windows 7 Media Center hangs at «Downloading TV setup data»

  Original title: Windows 7 Media Center live TV Setup

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium on your desktop Gateway SX2840-01.  I have a HP usb TV tuner.  I'm unable to set up Media Center to receive television through the tuner.  Put in place hangs at the page «Downloading TV setup data»  It just stay there with no error message or another pop ups. The line of progression on the display benchmark does not advance.  If I run troubleshooting, this indicates a problem and "WITHOUT difficulty".  The same tuner hooked to another computer had no problem with installation and operation.  This computer has Win 7 and the same drivers downloaded from the Hauppauge web site that has the entry door.  Please give me some possible fixes to complete set upward on the bridge.  Thank you.

  I solved the problem listed in the original post on this thread by disabling Windows Media Center and by removing all the files and folders in the shadow of Microsft eHome folder, then by restarting the computer.  I then enabled Windows Media Center and again rebooted the computer.  Of detailed instructions for each of these steps is available in Googleing or Windows support.

• Windows 7 Media Center can't find my DLNA certified DMP (an LG BD390 Blu - ray player model network).

  I have a Player LG Blu - ray wireless connected to my home network.  Configuration of the network connection to the format Blu - ray says it is successful, and it is capable of downloading movies on the shared internet connection.  My management software from the network router (WRT610N model) Cisco Linksys® Network Magic Pro displays the Blu - ray player on its network card device.  LG Blu - ray player is a certified DLNA DMP (digital media player) device and the software supplied LG Nero MediaHome 4 (Server DLNA media graduate) successfully concludes the LG Blu - ray device when it starts.  So far, I've been unable to get the Windows 7 Media Center (supposed to be a media graduate DLNA server) to find my network Blu - ray player.  But the problem is more than just that the Media Center do not find my network device, even the 7 network and sharing Center window is not this network device when I select «View full map»  When I go to printers and devices on Windows 7 and select 'Add a device', it does not find my device of network Blu - ray player that passes by the Cisco Network Magic software and Nero MediaHome 4 software.  So what prevents the network of Microsoft Windows 7 software and Media Center software to my LG Blu - ray network player?

  Media Center Extender technology owns and uses any DLNA.
  I don't know why Umesh from Microsoft Support thought it was possible. You
  will not be able to set up your Blu Ray drive as an Extender. You CAN use
  Windows Media Player READ ON technology and streaming technology. You will not be

  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.
  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_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.

  EDITING REGISTRY WARNING:
  Important:   This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

• 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
  TypeName =""
  StackTrace:
  at ehiProxy.BackgroundScannerClass.StartScan)
  at MediaCenter.FirstRun.GlidServiceScanner.Start)
  at MediaCenter.FirstRun.ScanPage.StartScanners)
  at MediaCenter.FirstRun.ScanPage.StartScan)

  ...

  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 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.
