• Windows Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel

  Original title: Windows Vista Media Center

  Since the beginning of June whenever I try to change the channel on the TV tuner in Media Center it crashes. I tried to do a system restore but restore never worked on my count. Problem event name: APPCRASH. Application name: EHShell.exe I'm looking for suggestions that might solve this problem.

  1] updated TV Tuner card driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver.

  [2] delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:
  %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB
  
  Delete: -.

  Start > run > type in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db > OK.

  Locate mediaCenterDataStore.db and right-click on it, select Delete.

  Restart the Media Center.

• Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

  I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

  There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

  I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi farrelldoc,

  1. What is the error message you receive library breaks down?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

  There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

  Hello

  Some USB TV tuners that were included with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 systems do not have a unique serial ID. You may experience this problem if you use one of these TV tuners and its driver with Windows XP Media Center 2005. If your computer has been upgraded to Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 from Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, you can solve the problem by installing the latest driver for your TV tuner. Contact your hardware manufacturer to determine the existence of a Media Center 2005 compatible device driver for your TV tuner.

• 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.

• Media Center crashes since update k2502898 has been cancelled during an automatic update

  Media Center crashes since update k2502898 has been cancelled during an automatic update. The cancellation took place on 03/10/2011. Since that time MC opens, then when I click on TV > Live it hangs or does not detect the tuner. Other times it opens, but after a few minutes I can't change channels or use Rarely MC. It works OK.

  I tried to find an answer in the forums but nothing. One day I came across a hotfix package for KB2502898 file 1.0.0.0 version. After installing MC works sometimes. When it does not work I have to install this hotfix package and restart the PC each time until finally it works.
  Since March, 2011, there is also a problem with the GUIDE. Its download is interrupted (probably because MC broke down). Manual download does not work. Even when MC works (after downloading the hotfix package), the guide does not download.
  My PC is regularly updated and protected.
  The version of Windows XP Media Center Ed 2005 is 5.1.2715.3011 (xpsp (wmbla). 061009-1511) Update Rollup 2 with microsoft.NET Framework1.1

• 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."

     • 2

       Click 'Next' in the window system restore for a list of points of restoration which has been archived.

• Media Center crashes when starting a movie from netflix

  I have seen this problem with many X 64 now users of systems. Netflix in windows media center crashes when you click on the beginning of the game film. Seems to be a X 64 system problem. All the patches yet? I saw a large number of entries of "try this" but I haven't seen any which have resulted in a solution,
  Thanks for any help on what I would use netflix inside the WMC if possible.

  Hi all

  It is a known problem with Netflix in Windows Media Center. It is caused by the presence of a very long user agent string in Internet Explorer. For more information about the agent user channels, see the following MSDN article. There is currently no supported workaround by modifying manually the user agent string can cause problems of compatibility with some Web sites.

• 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.

• 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 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.
