  • Get Win8.1 Pro with Media Center in Dual Boot with Windows 10 Pro

    In December of 2012, I bought a new Dell XPS12 running 64-bit window 8.  Later, I bought "Win8 Media Center Pro Pack" for Windows Media Center.  Later, I upgraded to Windows 10 pro and lost Media Center.  Given that I had a legitimate copy of Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, I would like to re - install in a separate partition.  I was able to clean install Win8.1 in this partition using a flash drive and the MediaCreationTool.  He did not like my product key OEM Win8, and he didn't like my WMC Pro Pack upgrade key, so I installed using a KMS key that is freely available online.

    Clearly, I go about it the wrong way.  I'm happy to start again and install Win8, then upgrade with my pro WMC pack key, but I do not know the mystical incantations necessary to get there.  Since I had legitimately a Pro Win8.1 with instance of Media Center, and I my self Win10 product key after upgrade, I can't imagine that such a dual-boot configuration would be illegal.  Can someone please help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Eventually your 8.1 installation using KMS will be disabled.

    1. cannot use keys hacked to enable long term of Windows, as you will be taken; It's a matter of time.

    2. the key/license Windows product to describe the operating system, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, etc. is absorbed by upgrading Windows 10 during the installation process and becomes an integral part of the active Windows 10 final installation.

    The license qualifying operating system, either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, etc. cannot be used anywhere else, or in a dual boot with Windows 10.

    Kind regards.

  • *.psd file icons displayed does not correctly after the CC 2014 update

    I just installed the new version of 2014 of some applications like Photoshop, Illustrator Adobe, InDesign and so on.

    The only problem was caused by Photoshop.

    First of all, all my default manager lost *.psd files, they were empty and no software was set to open.

    And then when I chose 2014 CC Photoshop as Manager default *.psd THIS happened:

    http://i.imgur.com/iFv9ngR.PNG

    as you can see the icon of the illustrator file is normal, but the *.psd file looks like Photoshop.exe icon and not the *.psd file icon.

    any ideas how to fix? (already tried to empty the cache icon)

    OS: Win 8.1 Pro WMC Update 1 (just making it clear if anyway, it makes a difference)

    I had this problem since CC came out last year and I came across a solution yesterday (finally!)

    This implies external Download program 3rd party, but now I have the correct icons, so I'm pretty happy.

    Here's what I did, if it helps:

    (1) download Default Programs editor this link here.

    2) once you have extracted the .zip file open the .exe and we go.

    (3) this is the first screen, you get...

    4) click on the first item "File Type settings" and you get this:

    5) click on 'icon '.

    (6) for this example I'll change a file, InDesign icon as I already fixed the Photoshop those. An excerpt from the next screen with the white ghost icon InDesign and yes it works if you have the icon default .exe showing instead of a blank white icon.

    7) type in the search box the file extension, you need. In this case because I'm changing the InDesign file I want it to be .indd but you can use for Photoshop .psd or .ai to Illustrator etc etc.

    (8) now, the program will ask what icon you want. What you need to do is click Browse and browse to the location of the default for the program .exe you change who will be in the folder Program Files. In this case my location is C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CC 2014\InDesign.exe

    Once you open that default Programs editor will show the full icon set for this program, as you can see below.

    (9) simply select the one you want and click OK. Click the arrow next to the Save icon, and then choose Save in the registry and then BINGO!

    (10) GLANCE! He has worked.

    Just need to sort all my other out now, but he receives a helping hand to the top of me!

  • Windows 7 - Media Center - TV Pinnacle USB Mini Pro (80th) adapter does not show clear Option of Signal TV QAM.

    Hi all
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a USB Pinnacle USB TV adapter (80th).  Which works fine with the software provided by Pinnacle, (TV Center Pro) using Clear QAM. However, I want to use the adapter USB TV with Windows 7 Media Center.  When I go in the options of signal TV of WMC, it shows Clear QAM as an option.  Can someone tell me please how to display the QAM option?  And why is it hidden initially?

    Bad bad Microsoft!  Shame on you for something!

    Thank you

    Hi all
    I finally got that it works, and that a single push.

    First of all, I uninstalled all drivers for my TV card in Device Manager. I had to do this several times, as he kept drivers already installed conclusion, but finally there lack of pilots.

    -Reboot
    -J' pressed F8 during boot and selected "disable driver signing" at startup.
    -Once Windows 7 has been started, I installed the drivers Beta 64-bit listed above.
    (I didn't understand how automatic default to F8 and 'Disable driver signing', always looking at this information, my plan is not to restart very often at the moment.)
    -Then, I scanned for TV stations, technnicaly my adapter showed as two adapters, said the Media Center window to search for the two adapters and found all my ClearQAM channels.

    I have installation check, I'll see how it works, but so far, Windows Media Center looks really sweet.

    I hope this helps others, I know that I spent many hours to find it.

  • Windows 8 WMC will not accept my product key

    HERE a long time ago, I installed Windows 8 WMC on my computer, which now no longer works.  I bought another computer and used the same DVD to install Windows 8 WMC.  However, when I try to enter the product key it comes up with "Currently in use by another computer".  How can I apply this product key?  Thank you very much

    The key to Windows Media Center only works on Windows 8/8.1 Pro editions.

    It does work on Windows 8 or unilingual 8.1 or what is called Windows 8 or 8.1 Core.

    If you are running Windows Pro 8 or 8.1 Windows Pro, disconnect from the Internet.

    Enter the product key, then activate by phone:

    How to get your key to Windows Media Center free for...

    Press the Windows key + X , then clickrun, then type: slui.exe 4

    2. then press the ENTER"" key.

    3. Select your "country" in the list.

    4. choose the option "activate phone".

    5. stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.

    6. explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • How can I get Bluray look a supported in Windows Media Center on Windows 8 Pro?

    I saw no definitive answer anywhere on the support Blu - ray for WMC. Is there a codec download or do I really need to spend $100 + to buy CyberDVD just to watch Blu - Ray? I was on the right track to buy a Blu - ray to my PC player so I could throw the Blu - ray player in total but have read a lot of people say that reading doesn't is not supported even in Windows Media Center for me at this time there should be a standard for Blu - ray support.

    Unfortunately, as in Windows 7 there no Blu - ray for the WMC or WMP support in Windows 8 PRO either. You need a separate application for playing Blu Ray.

  • New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 vs 10?

    New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 against 10 using virtualization?

    The two big names of virtualization are Parallels and VMware. They have a sort of leap-frogging each other in terms of features. Parallels has a fairly seamless integration between Mac and Windows.

    Your Mac is also already comes with Boot Camp, which lets you install Windows on a separate partition.

  • Why the sound does not work in Windows 10 with BootCamp installed on MacBook Pro mid 2012

    So, I recently had a mistake huge hard drive, then I formatted the drive and installed Windows 10 I downloaded the BootCamp 5.1.5621 software (which is the version for this computer) and my audio didn't work. I've used Windows 8.1 in the past without Activation, but that was a few months ago. I've deleted it 2 days after I put it on the computer, but all drivers well worked out there. Although I plug in a USB headset and audio installed and worked fine! Help, please! I even reinstalled BootCamp!

    I have the same Macbook Pro 2012 with boot camp and dual boot Windows-10 and Sierra.

    Everything works fine. I think you have the wrong boot camp files.

    I think that you need version 6. Reconnect to OS X and run the boot camp assistant and try to download new files from boot camp.

  • Need help to install Windows 8.1 on the partition, bootcamp on Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 w / no optical drive"

    I tried for almost a week in all possible ways to get windows installed on a boot camp partition on my main SSD 1 TB drive as a partition, or on my HARD drive, which is installed in place of the optical drive.  So far, everything I tried to give me some sort of error at some point in the process.  It seems that many of them are case by case, so I thought that I invite you all and see if you can help!

    I use a Macbook Pro 15 "mid-2010 that I improved with a 1 TB SSD drive as the startup disk.  My optical drive was not functional, so I moved my old 500 GB HARD drive to the location of the optical Bay.  I am also under the latest version of El Capitan (10.11.6)
    Here are my system specs:


    Presentation of the material:

    Model name: MacBook Pro

    Model identifier: MacBookPro6, 2

    Processor name: Intel Core i7

    Processor speed: 2.8 GHz

    Number of processors: 1

    Total number of cores: 2

    (By heart) L2 Cache: 256 KB

    L3 Cache: 4 MB

    Memory: 8 GB

    Processor speed of interconnection: 4.8 GT/s

    Boot ROM version: MBP61.0057.B11

    Version of the SCM (System): 1.58f17

    What I tried (from what I remember):

    I tried to change the Bootcamp info.plist file for my version of the macbook pro to use a USB stick for the installer.  It seems to have installed correctly but once I partition the disk and restart the computer, it gets stuck on a white screen with the Apple logo and I am forced to make a hard stop and then hold down option to boot into OS X, recovery, or the EFI Boot.

    If I go through the windows installation to start the EFI system, I get an error of:
    "Windows cannot be installed to this disk.  The selected disk is a MBR partition table.  On EFI systems, Windows cannot be installed on GPT disks. »

    I also tried to create a partition by using disk utility, and that too made me an error in the installation of windows.

    So far, the only way that I'm away from windows to run at all has been using the free trial of VMware Fusion 8... but I intend to use windows for more intensive tasks like audio pro, and merger simply does not offer the performance necessary to run these programs.  I'm hoping to install windows 8.1 on my internal SSD or HARD drive, regardless of the work - as long as OS X and files associated with it are left alone.

    If someone could help me please understand this point, I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you

    If your computer has an optical drive, you must use the optical drive to install Windows using Boot Camp Assistant.
