Windows Media Center captures the pointer of the mouse on the 2nd monitor when WMC window is enlarged.

My mouse pointer is captured on the 2nd monitor when the windows media center window is maximized on this screen. I can return the mouse to the main screen when the window of the wmc is reduced.

Hi ijeff:

One option is to move the Media Center window on the second monitor, and then expand the window to fill as much of the screen as possible by dragging an edge to the outside.  You can fill most of the screen that also and always use the mouse on each monitor.  The other option is to try pressing ALT + TAB to release the mouse in the Media Center window.  I think that worked in MCE2005, but currently I don't have a dual monitor set up to see if it still works.  Good luck!

  • Can I watch a show that is currently recording in Windows Media Center since the beginning of this show?

    I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows.  Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)

    Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center?  The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.

    I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)

    Thank you

    Hello

    Im sure that you can watch TV recordings during live TV recording, but you can't watch a program during its course of recording.

  • Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

    I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

    Hi nwills,

    Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

    a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

    b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

    c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

    Suddenly, Windows Media Center Download the latest TV programming guide.  It worked fine, then all of a sudden it stopped.  WMC wonder if I want to download the latest Guide Listing.  I click on the download option, then he said: 'Guide lists have been downloaded successfully. Yet, when I go into my program Guide for all the different TV channels (everywhere in the air, no cable or satellite) it says "No data available" in other words not it offers for download, guide, said that he never actually makes the fact.

    I don't know how or why this happened. I tried to download the application manually Guide by going to tasks-> settings-> TV etc and it does the same thing. It says "Guide Listings were downloaded successfully" but nothing.

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC.

    I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

    -Doug

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

    UPDATE! : I had no sound.

    Mike,

    Disable the LogMeIn driver from Device Manager and check. There are a few reported issues where LogMeIn driver has disabled the aero thus also changed the screen resolution feature.

    -Click Start, and then press on and enter type Device Manager.
    -Double click on graphics cards to expand the video drivers.
    -Right-click on the LogMeIn mirror driver and then click on disable.
    -Restart the computer and see if that helps.

    You can try to uninstall the video drivers and then install the driver from the AMD website as given in my first answer.
    Note: it is there no trouble uninstalling the video driver. When the video driver is uninstalled, Windows starts with minimum VGA drivers. The resolution of the screen (icons on the screen) may look bigger, but after installing the latest video drivers, the screen resolution will be back to normal.

    Please try the following steps and answer results.

    Hi all

    I'm working on an application that uses 2 monitors.

    I have a VI that measures the resolution of the screen.

    I want to know the 2nd monitor resolution.

    How can I get that?

    You can use a property node application, the display value-> AllMonitors. Index of this with an array and ungroup the result. This will give you information on the limits of the screen. By subtracting from left, right and top to bottom. You can get the size of the screen.

  • How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

    I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

    Hello
     
     
    1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
    2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?

    I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
    To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
    b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
     
    For more information, refer to the article below.

  • How to remove windows media center in the virus

    When I'm almost about to remove Center windows media, when I click on turn windows features, windows media center automatically pop. also, when I try to open any other program, Windows media center pop again. How can I remove this without it popping up when I click on something.

    Back up important data first, if you can. Then backup the registry. These two precautions.

    Then, if this has occurred there is little time, you can use System Restore to a point just before the association of the WMC has occurred.

    If this is not the case, see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html and use file associations that are false. You probably need the patches .exe and .com (depending on what actually open WMC. For example, if all programs open WMC)
