• 4500 wireless: HP Solutions Center does not work since the upgrade to windows 10

  Hello

  My solution Center no longer works since I've upgraded to windows 10.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the HP community @DJHar,

  I understand that the Solution Center Software no longer works since you have upgraded to Windows 10, and I wanted to reach out for help. I would say firstly under the HP printer install wizard for Windows, that will find the drivers and software for your Officejet 4500 Wireless and install the correct software for Windows 10. Try the software for access later, and it should work.

  Let me know the results!

  Good luck

• Windows Media Center has stopped working (after the great October Windows Update).

  In October, there was a Windows update that broke my Media Center (and THXaudio.exe) I was able to restore and put off the various updates until I recently needed to shut down the computer for a clean material out.  Even though I had several valid restore points before the updates available, I was not able to use the system restore (says a file is missing) and also not able to restore all the features.

  First of all, I tried different patches of problem I already found online: I used the "sfc/scannow" and it always shows the files that need fixing (but he can't fix them). I tried the system restore (and broke). Deleting the database file does not apply. I even "turned off" WMC and not turned back on - no chance.

  Here is the text of the two errors:

• Tecra M7 DVD: CD/DVD RAM drive does not work since the installation of Vista

  I did a clean install on my new Vista Ready M7. He had XP tablet in a first time, and the DVD player worked fine. In fact I used to install Vista (Home Premium).

  Now it doesn't work at all. It runs but does not read. Device Manager tells me impossible to start the device. Tried to update driver and he told me that he has the most uptodate pilot.

  Downloaded all the drivers from the Download Center of Tosh for upgrade of Vista of M7 (who got bluetooth, rotation etc. function properly the screen). But none of the downloads seems to be a driver for the DVD - Ram drive. He cannot find a driver anywhere else (including the Panasonic site).
  DVD player is Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ - 841 s

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  On the Toshiba driver page, you can find the DLA for Tecra m7.
  Have you tried to install the XP driver DVD-RAM since the Toshiba page on the Vista operating system?

  Maybe it'll market

  But listening the CD/DVD drive uses the current Microsoft drivers that are included in Vista or XP.
  This is why an additional driver should not be necessary!

  An additional proposal;
  Remove the drive from the Device Manager CD/DVD and restart the laptop.
  After restarting again the OS should reinstall the drive and renew the software.

  Another tip:
  -Launch the registry
  -Choose the registry key;
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  -In the right pane, click UpperFilters and LowerFilters, and then click on remove.
  -Reboot the laptop

  After you uninstall update 2 above WMC would still not start.

  After using the system again restore forward updates, I installed the other 9 updated with, so far, no problem with WMC.

• get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center

  Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

  Try this for me:

  Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

  If this does not work, try this:

  1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

  2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

  4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

  5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

  6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

  7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

  Hi herbyderbydo,

  1A what difficulties have you tried Microsoft?

  2. does come with any specific channel?

  This problem occurs if the process of updating Windows Media Center (Mcupdate.exe) cannot access the Windows Media Center data store.

  Run the tool fixit here automatically to rebuild the data store.

  You can also try manually as follows:

  1.	Exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.

By default, this file is located in the following location: %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB To remove the file, follow these steps: one. Click Startand then click run b. In the Open box, type run , and then click OK If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click continue c.

Click Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the trash.
  3.	Start Windows Media Center. If the previous step fails, check the event viewer to determine the cause of the problem and post here What are the information in event logs? (Event Viewer) http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer Let us plug in which is also used by the channel causing the media center stopped by right clicking on the channel.

  Hello

  For someone to really help him, it is important to give as much information as possible.

  You say "my computer XP and Vista" are this one computer dual boot with XP and Vista, or is - the two computers 'single '?

  If it happened "yesterday" did you updated anything or whatever installed?

  Having only happened yesterday have you tried a "System Restore" to see if this corrects the problem?

  What TV card are you using and have you verified that this works correctly?

  If you get not a photo is the antenna in place properly?

  Do you get any error messages? More information, you can provide more someone will be able to help John Barnett MVP: Associate Expert Windows XP: Windows Desktop Experience: Web: http://www.winuser.co.uk ; Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org ; Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org ;

• Click recorded TV, it says that "Windows Media Center has stopped working, seeking resolutions... »

  I'm having a problem with Windows Media Center. It starts no problem, but when I click on recorded TV, it says that "Windows Media Center has stopped working, seeking resolutions... "If I click on TV guide there is no problem. I tried a restore, but for some reason any restore function has been disabled.

  (copy - paste from another thread - user has same question):

  
  You has not, coincidentally, happens to record last Friday (I think it is?) episode of human target (what happened to be replaced by a House reruns), did you?
  Reason I ask: it has been a little traffic on to thegreenbutton on the subject these days - and everyone who reported also arrived to try to save human target.  Somehow, the file finished with metadata is corrupted, what makes MC crash when you enter recorded TV (at best, it crashes when you select the program from the list.)
  FIX: Open Explorer and go to C:\users\Public\Recorded TV.  Find and remove "human Target__"(exemple: «La Target_WDIVDT_2010_10_01».) ".
  Start Media Center, and then try again.  Fixed?
