• Windows 8 Media Center Pack received not e-mail with key

  I bought Windows 8 Pro Upgrade today and installed windows 8 pro

  I see that Windows 8 Media Center Pack is free and gave my email for the product key

  Its been more than 5 hours now and no email has been sent and I see that a lot of people have had the same problem and they did not also get email with product key online

  Is there a problem with the system and when going to be fixed because I've seen no official response yet to explain why people do not get the email with the product key

  This requires an answer because it is not good the first day of the windows 8 released summer and the offer was not given to those who asked me

  I understand if it's a server problem and it overloaded with requests but can anyone Microsoft please update as to why we do not get the email with the product key

  Hello PaulBoland

  A recent response to another thread http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/i-have-not-received-my-product-key-for-my-windows/ecf1ec5a-231b-42e0-bb88-b2d9f21ad3a2 suggests that it takes at least 24 hours before the key is received.

  Remember that Windows 8 has only just been published, there will be thousands of people who are trying to get the software and the product key free for Windows Media center.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

  You will need to know the product key at the very least.  What happened to Windows Media Center?  It is always installed?  If so there may be some recovery options available while it is still on your machine via tools like Belarcc Advusor etc.

• I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe.

  original title: error with ehshell.exe

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 with Service Pack 3 and I tried to run Media Center but I get an error message with ehshell.exe. Could you help me?

  This problem exists since the 1st Media Center. SP2 and SP3 had a difficulty, but it is obvious that it doesn't always. The same problem still exists in Vista today with a lot of other carried over from XP. System restore would work, but you do not have any good restore points so reinstall an operating system seems to be your only option.

  You probably don't want to do an OS reinstall you need for Media Center, but since it does not at all, you might want to play then remove the Media Center updates and or SP3 and reinstall them.

• 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.

     • 3

       Select a restore point created before the ehshell.exe file becomes corrupt or got deleted. If no restore point until this time is listed, click on "Show restore points more" to select the one that is before this date. Click 'Next' to choose which restore point.

       Click 'Finish' to start the system restore. The computer will restart once the process is complete and the ehshell.exe file is reinstalled.

• Download pirated Windows XP Media Center with the genuine key?

  Hi all

  First of all, I apologize if the thread, I created is in the wrong place (Technet forums), but I got enough good help from technet on a Windows 7 problem, that I had. I've recently updated to the Genuine Windows XP Media Center to a genuine Windows 7 Professional.

  I own a HP pavilion laptop came pre-loaded with XP MC (media center). Now, HP does not record with the laptop, instead, there is a recovery partition which can be transferred to DVD to create additional space on the HARD drive, I did. Unfortunately my DVD player no longer works, and I can not restore my XP to factory settings (new facility) because the HP restore software only reads from the DVD.

  This XP has become bloated over time, and I want to do a new installation.

  It is, I could download a pirated copy of the media center XP SP3 and use my real serial number and / or additional information to activate it?

  Thank you

  No, because your key is specific to an HP facility.
  Replace your DVD player or buy an external hard drive
