  Hello

  Have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

   
  It seems a problem with missing or damaged system files. I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.
  Method 1:
  Let flow the Microsoft Safety Scanner and check if it helps.
  Microsoft security scanner: http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. During these 10 days, it will remove all the files infected by the virus and records. I suggest you create a backup of your data, and then install Microsoft Safety Scanner.
   
  Method 2:
  Run the scan tool (SFC) System File Checker and check if it helps.
  How to use the System File Checker tool to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista: http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
   
  Method 3:
  Try to create a new user account and check if it helps.
  Create a user account: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows-vista/Create-a-user-account  
  If the problem is resolved in the new user account, this means that the old user profile is damaged. Here is the link to repair a user account damaged: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile

  Original title: lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected)

  Have lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected). Have messed around with all the settings, but can't seem to recover these items.

  Hi Liljools,

  a. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide listings.

  b. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

• How to uninstall windows media center?

  How to uninstall windows media center? It keeps opening up, and I can't open all the files, pls help...

  See - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15530/uninstall-disable-or-remove-windows-7-media-center/ - perhaps?

  But if she "continues to open and you cannot open all files" maybe something is seriously wrong somewhere else. If he goes much evil that is, no file opens, then when it started to happen? It has been recently? you got whatever it is installed again just before the problem occurred? If then possibly consider to delete that or try a "restore point" at one point, just before the error started.

• Windows Media Center on a bi-ecrans system

  Hello

  I just started using a second monitor with my computer.

  I tried to watch TV with Windows Media Center on the secondary monitor while I work on other things on the first monitor but when Windows Media Center is in full screen my mouse will not go back to the first monitor. Why? Is there a setting that can change this?

  Please let me know a solution.

  Hello

  It of a pain and has not been a problem up to what MS upgraded to Direcxt X 10.1 under Vista SP1.
  To escape the other screen is possible.  The first solution is that in the answer of MS, but for some reason windows Center media are all 4:3, regardless of the setting of the screen, so you can't put a 'window' almost full screen.
  To escape the "Windows key" success and move the mouse to the other screen and keep clicking somewhere who will not have side effects, etc. Empty office.  When all the windows are installed the cursor will remain on the other monitor and you can work.  Closing windows or any click on Media Center monitor can resume the slider.  Not a perfect solution, but it works.  I got a X 9 compatible graphics card and windows flashed for up to 45seconds (occult, is come, it exploded...) so I've upgraded to a compatible card X10.1 and now it's only a few seconds.  Note your remotes, the active window so most but not all buttons have a local effect, bizzarely some still work the Media Center program.

• How to delete many files duplicate music in Windows Media Center

  How to remove several duplicate files Windows Media Center music

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit with Windows Media Center and I have a 2 TB external drive, I keep all my multimedia (music/movies) and I just realized that my entire music library has been duplicated several times that I now have 4-5 copies of each music file in my library on my external hard drive. It is not duplicate my movies (thank God!) Why is this happening? How can I get rid of the duplicates? and how can I prevent this from happening in the future?

  You can also see duplicates in Windows Media Player library?

  Because Media Center uses the same library as WMP, I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its status is started, double-click on the service and click on stop.
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, delete the folder Media Player. If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the duplicates have been fixed.

• Loss of signal HDMI in Windows Media Center

  I have a Dell Studio Hybrid PCs only running Windows Vista Home Edition Premium attached to a Samsung LN52A750 LCD HDTV via HDMI. If I turn on the TV away from the PC input and back, I lose the video signal... but only when Windows Media Center is running in full screen.

  It works fine:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn off the PC.
  6. Turns off the TV (or switch to a different input).

  This also works very well:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Minimize Windows Media Center.
  6. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC.
  7. Turn on your TV to the PC - you see always the computer.

  It does NOT work:

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Switch to PC input on the TV.
  3. Turn on the PC.
  4. Start Windows Media Center.
  5. Turn on the TV to a different entry, but leave the PC with Windows Media Center in full screen running .
  6. Try to turn on the TV to the PC - no picture or sound is on the screen and the PC must be restarted to return sound/video fully.

  I came across this problem recently (after the passage of a VGA/DVI to HDMI connection). First of all, I came across it when the PC would go to sleep - the video signal stops and the TV stop see the PC signal, even once the PC is awake. I have read a bit online and thought it was something people call a problem of 'EDID handshake. " I thought simply not let the computer sleep (and do not turn off the PC video) would fix it, but I ran into another issue. Kind of a twist.

  I was showing friends how Media Center worked, I spent in the PC, showed them Windows Media Center, spent in a different entry, then switched back to the PC (because I forgot to show you something). The blue background of Media Center appeared for a split second and the signal was instantly lost. I had to reload completely in order to recover the signal.

  I retried the experience - shot to the top of Media Center, active the TV away from the computer, then it passed right away - same result. Restart lost, hard signal.

  I don't know how I fell on it, but at some point, I had the experience with a twist. I pulled to the top of the computer, started Media Center and reduced. Then I moved the TV away from the PC and back... and the signal was always there. I did it again, and again, the signal was there. The TV turns off and on again - signal always there. Then I enlarged Media Center, changed television away from the PC, and when I came back... NO SIGNAL.

  So: with full-screen Media Center loses the signal, but when Media Center is reduced to a minimum the signal remains.

  I started thinking about how my recent use of the Media Center differed from the previous time. Normally, I use the Media Center, watch a movie or something and then go and do something else. I'm back from PC to something else and back. And every time that I had spent in the PC and he had kept the signal, the screen saver has been on - the screen saver 'bubbles '.

  Something that I noticed with the screensaver "Bubbles" is that it sometimes brings the Windows taskbar in the foreground so it 'up' to the Windows Media Center full screen appears. I usually turn the television on the PC input before "wake the computer" and to get the screensaver to go.

  Now I wonder if the lost signal has something to do with Windows Media Center. I have [I think] know a bit the functioning of Windows and the concept of execution of different 'offices '. I wrote a screensaver in C++ unmanaged long ago and I remember there was some crazy stuff that you have to do when you write an application "windowless" (as Media Center - there is no border around it when it goes full screen) and make the "caches", as the screen saver 'bubbles '. I wonder if he has something to do with the standard Windows Desktop works correctly but the Windows Media Center app full screen "desktop" does not properly.

  I tried another experience where I kept full screen WMC, leave the TV losing signal and press Win + D to minimize and show the desktop. Then I went to the TV in the back. No luck - once the signal has been lost, it was lost for good.

  I did since then research various responses. I read that defining the ACPI suspend mode S3 would fix it, but it doesn't. I tried implementing a keyboard shortcut attached to a script that could change the display resolution of 640 x 480 and then change back because I read changing the resolution to update the signal - which did not work.

  Basically, I got no alternative except to keep WMC reduced when it is not in use.

  I'll try to set the screen saver "Bubbles" to 1 minute or something and see if that will at least let me inputs turn on the TV after one minute of inactivity. Yet, it would be good to know if there is some setting I'm missing.

  Hello Travis and Jmelton98,

  Thank you for posting.  Your tests of Travis and additional post of Jmelton, it seems it will be probably something that only can be set by the video card drivers.  If you were to look at the known issues for some drivers, you would see similar questions types.  It is one of the reasons for the drivers for video cards are updated so often.  Sometimes there will be a problem so important that they will release a special patch to fix (like what happened during the crisis game is released).  There should be a new series of pilots soon become availible.

  Please try and see if the problem persists.  Thank you both for the replies that it will help others too. Zack
