  Hello hillsiderWH,

  Seems that your windows installation is missing most important files, I suggest you boot to the top with your windows media center installation CD and run repair on the windows installation. This will replace any missing files and I hope that your media center up and running. If this isn't the case, it could be a problem in the registry.

• Windows Media Center starts on its own...

  I am running Vista 64 bit. and from these time, for some reason my media center to windows just starts up on its own with attention now. I checked the settings in the media center and its not programmed to automatically start from what I've seen. It starts when I open other programs, and when I close them. not all the time and not in any decernable model. What should I do?

  Hello James_CC,

  You can try and allows for stop in the MSConfig Startup tab:

  First, go to control panel, then AutoPlay. Then check the selections of videos, films, etc. and select not "Act".
  Try again and see if Windows Media Center always plays at startup.

  Then, you can stop Windows Media Center to start services.
  Type msconfig (System Configuration) and go to the Startup tab uncheck the Scriptures which has the ehome as path to the command, such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE related services to start upward.

  I would also check the default associations:
  Open the control panel (all items view) and click the default programs.

  Click on the game to link your default programs.
  In the left column, select the program (highlighted) a list that you want to change the associations is default for file.
  To set all Assciations by default in the Program-
  NOTE: This will allow to associate the selected program by default used by Windows 7 to open all types of files and protocols it can open.
  Click set this program as default.
  Click Save to apply.
  Click OK.

  Please answer and give us an update to see whether or not these measures have helped.

  Sincerely,

• Windows Media Center crashes under Remote Desktop connection after the installation of KB2592687

  When you view another computer (Win7 Pro for Win7 Pro) via the remote desktop connection, this (KB2592687) update causes Windows Media Center not start or leave immediately, in both cases briefly showing a popup that reads:

  Windows Media Center has stopped working

  Both computers have installed KB259687.  WMC works by connecting directly to each machine.  If KB259687 is uninstalled on the machine connected remotely via the remote desktop connection, you can run once again, WMC in the distance window.  Note the video is not available, but you are able to verify existing records, change the calendar, see the rack TV, etc. (everything as before).  Records on demand on the PC are working correctly, I had a crash the system (blue screen) apparently because of this.

  Note that there is no problem watching a WMC when using desktop remote connection to a Pro Win8 machine when connected to a machine, Win7 Pro.  WMC is installed on the machine Win8 Pro and is adjustable from inside the Desktop Login window on the Win7 Pro machine remotely.

  I had the same problem, but uninstalling the update didn't fix it for me.   I have studied and found that permissions for key reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp included not all permissions for the users group, just like the other subkeys.  Maybe the update of above RDP modified these permissions?  In any case, when I added for this key for users read permissions, shell new WMC would begin in an RDP session.  I also found this race the ehshell 'as administrator' would work under RDP, but this was not necessary in the past.

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post on your PC not start and I wanted to help.

  I wish I got good news for you, but I did not, as it sounds a bit like the hard drive has failed, what is to be expected if this PC XP - era still has the original drive.

  We have a few troubleshooting steps to test the drive but they only work on recent PC.

  What could work is by pressing ESC, or F1 or F2, when you start to see if one of these enter you a Setup screen, and if they do, choose to run the diagnostics from there to go to disk.

  If the drive has failed, there is bad news (sorry!) -in that HP long leaves Jersey recovery media for XP - era machines, so there is nothing you can order from HP to restore your PC to a new drive.

  Given that HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

  And if not enough bad news, I guess that the hard drive in your XP machine has something known as an IDE interface.  You can tell by looking at the back of the car where the data cable connects.  If it is a large flat cable (about 2 inches wide) and there are a bunch of small pins where it connects on the disc, then it IS an IDE drive and those who are practically impossible to find, as the industry player opted for SATA disks making a few years back.

  Sorry... but it's time to think seriously to switch to a newer PC.

  Good luck

• Windows Media Center Gets error: invalid Application - cannot start

  Windows Media Center (of the month last Vista 32-Bit)

  I have problems to make internet TV, news and Netflix to connect to the internet when you use Windows Media Center.  They are all under the TV + movies option during the WMC.  I get an error saying [invalid Application - cannot start "" ""].  Not sure if this is because the internet connection that I use is not one that has a user name or password.  Not know how to configure it for this version of Windows.  I don't get this problem when you use Windows Media Center in Windows 7.

  At the opening of Windows Media Center I get the following message: INVALID APPLICATION; "Unable to launch SymAddin; and a checkbox to disable this Application (I have not checked the box).

• Windows Media Center starts by itself

  Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

  Hello world!

  I just wanted to clear the confusion.
  Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
  Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
  Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
  There are many ways to skin this cat:
  Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
  2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
  3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
  5. Close the window Services and reboot
  B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
  1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
  2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
  3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
  4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
  5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
  C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
  1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
  3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
  4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
  5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
  6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
  7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
  8. Close the registry editor and then restart
  You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
  Let me know if the above help solves your problem!
