• Why Surface does not support WTV (Windows 7 Media Center recorded TV) files?

  I have a Windows 7 Media Center, and if I try to open the WTV Recorded TV files I just get a pop up asking me if I want to find an app in the store to play this file format.  Why the Surface can not read files WTV in Windows 7 Media Center?

  the bottom line is because there is no decoder DVD on the Surface. If you convert to the
  MP4, the file will play.

• Hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but couldn't get the windows genuine back 8

  Original title: recovery of original windows 8

  When I bought the new device, it was loaded with windows 8 but a few days before my hard drive has been corrupted and replaced it with the new hard drive but could not get the real Windows back 8.

  Please help me to get my windows genuine 8 back so I could get additional updates downloaded.

  Hello Vishal,

  Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

  If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  See the suggestions posted by Andre Da Costa replied on March 7, 2013.

  If the problem persists, you can contact the manufacturer of the hardware for the same thing and check.

• 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 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.
