Windows media center is missing

poof, it was gone.

This may help - http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-center-in-windows-7/ if all goes well. If its still checked, then try to uncheck - reboot - tick - restart.

If this does not help, try SFC / scannow and see if that helps.

Or maybe a restore before that point it went past 'poof '.

  • Internet of Windows media center tv missing tiles.

    Hello:

    Lately I had problems with Windows Media Center (WMC). When you click on internet tv tile, read the message "no content available) and just hung on this screen. Until recently, after clicking on the internet tv of tiles, I had several tiles it contains with many programs available. After some research, I found a thread here on social responses and followed the instructions. I went in the ehome folder and delete all its content and now internet tv tile is missing.

    Any suggestions on how to bring him back?

    I tried uninstall WMC and reinstall, but cannot find a way to uninstall it.

    I don't know if this is related but I'll post anyway; Recently, I noticed that some programs were not registered even after programming of the series to be recorded. Then I noticed that there was no information of programming after a date and a time. After some research, I found that my firewall was blocking mcupdate and ehome mcupdate to access internet. I think he corrected by adjusting the settings in my firewall.

    Hello, Jose

    You are in the United States, the United Kingdom or another region?
    Internet TV is not available outside the US / UK.

    Are you using the built in Windows Firewall or another?
    What security software do you use?

    If you do not use the built in Windows Firewall, make sure that the executable files in c:\windows\ehome\ are allowed through.

    In addition, try reinstalling Internet TV.

    First, go to start, Control Panel, uninstall a program, then check if Internet TV for Windows Media Center is listed. If this is the case, select it and choose uninstall.

    Then go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

    After it is finished running, open Media Center and check if Internet TV is available or not.

  • Vista / windows media center / missing mouse pointer

    Hi I recently bought vista Home premium v6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 and have all the updates.

    I have 2 similar problems.
    When I start windows media center I lose the mouse pointer and if I use alt - tab returns in other running programs such as office. so it seems only to be windows media center problem.
    to exit the program I have to ctrl-alt-del and use taskmanger to complete the process, but even if it works sometimes.

    I get a similar problem with other programs, especially when loading software.
    It was not to display the error on the top window or place an item in the taskbar.

    and I don't get to see if I minimize all other windows.

    It's on a laptop Acer 1810 entered t oem installed with vista home premium.

    radar888,
    The first thing you posted in the category Windows Update, but I moved this forum hardware and drivers.

    However, in safe mode, your computer starts with generic basic hardware drivers.  That's why it will give an error that your video card is not good enough for Media Center.  The fact that the mouse works properly in safe mode indicates that you have a driver problem.  I would update ALL your hardware drivers (video, sound, NETWORK, touchpad, etc...).  Then test the position of the mouse.  You can check with the Acer site for drivers.  You can check with the hardware manufacturer for the latest drivers for your video card.

  • missing Windows media center tv Internet

  • Windows Media Center - why it cannot detect TV?

    I used Qosmioplayer and it detects the TV from my Sky Digibox very well signal. However, I would like to record TV with my laptop and when I try to set up the TV using Windows Media Center, it cannot detect anything. I tried every possible permutation and the manual does not give pointers...

    Why the Qosmiplayer works for the entrance to Sky TV, but not the media library?

    Please help it's driving me crazy!

    I assume you are using a lead of areal coaxial standard to connect to your sky box? If so, you need to know which way the sky is coming in the. To do this, use the Qomsio drive to search for channels and when it detects the signal from Sky, it will tell you which way it is passed on. Something like channel 36. OK, now you have this information, start the machine and go into Media Center. You must manually add this channel. As Media center works with the EPG, all channels such as the skyinput must be added.

    So, in the main menu, go to

    Settings > TV > Guide > add missing channels > add channel

    Now enter the channel name you want displayed when viewing. IE SKY.

    Now you enter the channel number 36 IE that you got the Qosmio engine. This will now be held on the next available channel. IE 6/7/8 etc. Everything do you now is go to the channel and it appears at the entrance to heaven.

    Hope this helps

  • How to install Windows Media Center & decoder: Please help!

    I have a HP desktop computer. There not yet 2 years old, I have Windows Media Center (WMC) and I could watch TV very good about it until I'm the cable box. I simply plugged the cable into the Tower, no problem. Now that I have the decoder, I'm confused as to what's missing to make it work! It is said that the IR hardware & IR control cables are missing. What does that mean? Also, how far I will use? Do I have to use a universal? Oh, and it shows the channels that are supposed to be here (for example: it comes through that channel 53 is supposed to be MTV, but there is no video or sound).

    Thank you!!!

    -Lisa

    Set your tuner, PC TV channel 3 or 4 according to the cable box output channel.  The decoder is initially connect to the wall and the video output is connected to the PC.  Use the remote control for the set-top box to change channels.  If the PC is to drive the sound then you will also need to connect audio cables (red and white) from the cable box to the audio inputs of the TV tuner card.

  • Netflix will not load up to in Windows Media Center more.

    I've had Netflix service for about two months now. Up to two days, I was able to stream movies through Netflix and Windows Media Center option. Now it will not load anything. It will allow me to connect to Netflix, but I can't get something and my instant queue will not charge.

    I get a message stating:

    NO INTERNET CONNECTION:

    The internet connection has been lost. Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet, and then try again.

    Problem is that I'm connected to the internet. (If I was not logged in, they would not connect to Netflix in the first place.)

    I had even gone to the Media Center General settings to test the internet connection and it says that the internet actually works.

    What is going on? I missed something?

    KC

    You can try a system restore on the eve of the update has been installed and see if
    the problem is resolved. Nothing in the update that fell from Netflix,
    but you can certainly try a restore. A restore is a good troubleshooting step
    for beginners.

    And im having trouble with the tuner.
    Tuner not found
    the tuner is defective or not installed.

    someone help?

    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.
