• Windows Media Center crashes on Vista when you try to play Netflix

  I can connect to Netflix and discover my queue and all the rest. I can view the details of the episodes and so forth, but when I click on 'Play', Windows Media Center crashes and restarts itself - every time.

  There are other problems in Windows Media Center. Sometimes it freezes during the display of other media, such as Internet TV. I had my computer more than a year, and this is the first time I tried to use Windows Media Center, so I don't know if it worked before.

  I tried to find an update for it, but all that I've tried say that it applies to my system. (I always install the automatic updates). I also ran the Fix It program, which says it completed, but which did not help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi farrelldoc,

  1. What is the error message you receive library breaks down?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3. what Microsoft fixit did you run on the computer?

  There is a known issue on some computers that have a chain very long user agent in Windows Internet Explorer. This problem occurs when the user-agent string exceeds 260 characters. There is currently no work around supported for that matter.

  For more information, see the Microsoft article and try the steps mentioned below.

  Known issues and limitations of Netflix on Windows Media Center for Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/972496

   

  For the Windows media center crashes when viewing other media issue try the following procedure.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you perform a clean boot and check.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• 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 crashes with DVD playback

  When you use Windows Media Center to play a DVD, WMC freezes and restarts before loading even the DVD Menu.

  No, I always had this problem. Is it possible, that it was caused by the update to Media Center cumulative?

  Any help would be useful,

  Thank you

  I have found no error. At this point, I'll just reinstall my OS.

• Windows Media Center crashes when I try to add extender

  About two weeks ago (about 9/30; "I think that was a day after an MSE update), my Xbox 360 suddenly stopped recognizing my Windows Media Center PC. When I would try to set up my Extender, she would get to the first step before you give me an error "cannot set up Extender. I checked to make sure that all services were running, the firewall allowed programs through and so on, but kept getting the same error.

  About a week after that, the error "Cannot set up Extender" has been replaced with an error "Windows Media Center has stopped working". It reads: "a problem caused blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. "He was giving me this error whenever I try to add the extension since last week.
  I tried disabling my firewall, WCM via the Control Panel, delete the mcepg2 file in the eHome folder, rename the eHome folder, remove mediacenteredatastore.db, tries to connect via another user and all other solutions I found on the forums of uninstalling/reinstalling. I would greatly appreciate it someone could solve this, like many other people, because it seems that there are several issues across the internet on this error. Please let me know if I can provide more information about this error and how to give it. Thank you.

  Hello

  Some USB TV tuners that were included with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 systems do not have a unique serial ID. You may experience this problem if you use one of these TV tuners and its driver with Windows XP Media Center 2005. If your computer has been upgraded to Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 from Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004, you can solve the problem by installing the latest driver for your TV tuner. Contact your hardware manufacturer to determine the existence of a Media Center 2005 compatible device driver for your TV tuner.

  Hi, thanks for the response.

  delete the file mcepg2-0. It was the only file of database in there. It certainly makes a difference to cause before the media library / Videos would not work on my computer

  Now this is the case, thank you, seen this fix on the web as well but really wanted to be certain before I deleted something important.

• Lose my ethernet internet connection when the computer goes into mode 'sleep '.

  I have a desktop with Windows Vista.  I have my internet through a cable company.  I've never had problems of connectivity for 2 years and then out of no where he would pass the signal after mode 'sleep'.  I had the cable company come out and check on all equipment and it's good that now, I'm still clueless and confused.  The connection icon have an exclamation point in a yellow triangle and say "limited connectivity" and «identify...» "and then I click on Local area connection status and make a diagnostic test that will get me connected to"network 2 "until it goes into sleep mode and then the process repeats.  It's boring say the least.  When I login and go to the LAKE State he says;

  IPv4 connectivity: Internet

  IPv6 connectivity: limited

  Media state: enabled

  Duration:

  Speed: 100.0 Mbps

  He said that the issue is resolved after each diagnostic test, but then it happens again.  I need some help pleaseeee!

  > I need some help pleaseeee!

  But you're in the wrong group! It is a problem with your network driver
  or your Windows installation. You have this repost to a suitable for Windows Vista
  Forum. It is possible that a newer driver from the network has a problem with sleep
  mode, you should try another pilot (older or newer).
  From your description, there is a problem to renew the lease of your
  DHCP server (which must be running on your router), it does not use the
  IP address assigned earlier or he does not do / IP address (which
  should be the same) we get the router. It is also possible that the
  problem is with the router or a new firmware on this subject. You should study
  These two avenues, including a replacement of the router and firmware.
  Another very simple solution is to configure your PC for a static IP number and
  leave it like that. In the forum, I mentioned, people will be able to talk to you
  through this option if you don't know how to do this.

  Hello

  Make sure that you are logged as an ADMINISTRATOR to make changes to the power (sleep) or others.

  Are you sure that you have those established in all Power Options? (There may be more than one).

  Check the change Plan settings - change advanced power settings

  Check the change when the computer sleeps

  Is - that go to sleep or is the active screen saver?
