• Windows Media Center has stopped finding the info guide

  I have Windows Media Center in Windows 7

  It worked very well for a few years, but about 2 months ago it stopped to show the guide.

  When I set to manually record a string at a certain point it works very well.

  I also think that, when I looked in the section regular programs, it shows programs at the request of record (I can check to confirm cela if nec.), but when I go on the Guide grid, maybe 1 or 2 channels appear and IE not avaiable

  I have confirmed that the time is correct and tried to restart, and refresh the guide - but nothing has worked.

  I contacted Zap2It - but they said that it is the Windows Media Center, causing the problem. -any help is appreciated.

  FYI - I just did a full rescan of the tuner and channels - and now it works.

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

  After the MS Updates this week, we have a problem with our Media Center. We have a HP Touchsmart IQ526 running Vista Home Prem when are connected to the Internet and our local cable system. Everytyhing worked almost without problems because we have installed in January. After that MS Updates this week required a reboot, Media Center stops whenever we change the channel - errors "Media Center has stopped working".  Sometimes when changing positions both with the remote control and with the mouse. Is there anything other than a reinstallation of Vista?  Can you help us?

  Hello Cwray

  Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

  This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that scan you a file system [SFC] checker on the computer that would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

  (A) the SFC scan enforcement procedure:
  1. click on the Start button
  2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
  3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
  4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option
  5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
  6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
  7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
  8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
  9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
  10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
  11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.
  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

  C. I also suggest you to check the boot and if you are able to access the Windows media center.
  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start 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. Boot stops interference with other third-party software on the computer.
  Steps to perform the clean boot:
  1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
  4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
  5. click on OK.
  6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
  7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

  If the problem is solved, check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Reset the computer to start as usual

  When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
  Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

• 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?
