  Hi RDougShelton,

   
  Step 1: This problem occurs if the Windows Media Center update process (Mcupdate.exe) cannot access the Windows Media Center data store. You may experience this problem if the data store is corrupted. So, try to rebuild the Media Center data store. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.
  b. remove the mediaCenterDataStore.db file. By default, this file is located in the following location:
  %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB
  c. Click Start, run type, and then click Run.
  (d) in the Open box, type % systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome, and then click OK.
  e. in the details, click pane right mediacenterdatastore.db and then click on remove.
  f. click Yes to confirm that you want to move the Mediacenterdatastore.db file to the trash.
  g. launch Windows Media Center and check if the problem persists.
   
  Step 2: Scanner of sfc (System File Checker) to find and difficulty of the missing or corrupt system files

• Don't have a Media Center on my HP Vista Home Premium update.

  I have a HP certified authentic running Vista Home Premium SP2.  It came with Media Center, which I barely used until recently, but now I really enjoy it.

  I've heard of the Netflix tile added last year, but I don't see in my Media Center.  I finally got to see what it looks like at a store (it was on a Win7 machine) and now I can't wait to get this working on my computer.  Miss me him more than the Netflix tile... As well, Miss me Internet TV.  Could I have missed that any update?  I activated Windows Update and install updates regularly.  How can I tell what version of Media Center I am running?  Is anyway to uninstall/reinstall Media Center?

  I have a topic "TV + movies", but under that, it's just "recorded tv", "DVD library" and "set up tv.  I don't have a TV tuner card.

  Thank you.

  Hi amal.

  I'm in the USA.  My version of Media Center is 6.0.6002.18103 (vistasp2_gdr.090831 - 0117).

  I downloaded the Media Center TV pack you mentioned, however, when I tried to install it, the installation program said, "the update does not apply to your system."

  I searched the list of Windows updates installed on my system for the TV pack, but do not see it.  The most recent WMC cumulative update on my system was KB974306.  I uninstalled, rebooted, then tried to reinstall the TV pack, but got the same message "does not apply".

  So I re-installed KB974306 (who alerted the automatic update of Windows Me was available after reboot), and read the next article you sent.  Someone suggested to do a 'Download Now' to in WMC.  I tried and then Netflix tile appeared, as well as sports and Internet TV.  My WMC version remained the same even after a reboot.

  Since I now have the Netflix tile and it works, I really must the WMC version 6.1 +?   If I wait until the next auto WMC updated for Vista, I should be able to do things?

  Thank you very much for your help!

• Windows Media Center starts by itself

  Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

  Hello world!

  I just wanted to clear the confusion.
  Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
  Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
  Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
  There are many ways to skin this cat:
  Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
  1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
  2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
  3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
  5. Close the window Services and reboot
  B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
  1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
  2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
  3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
  4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
  5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
  C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
  1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
  2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
  3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
  4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
  5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
  6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
  7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
  8. Close the registry editor and then restart
  You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
  Let me know if the above help solves your problem!

• CREATIX card TV no longer works for Windows Media Center after you install Vista Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional

  I recently updated my computer Windows Vista Edition Medion Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional. While my computer was running Vista, I could use the tuner TV SAA7131 Creatix card in my computer to watch digital TV British, that is to say Freeview. Before my upgrade to Windows 7, I checked all my drivers would be compatible, and the Advisory program told me that they would be sufficient. However, when I tried to setup of the library to receive a TV signal, the implementation will not progress beyond the screen "Considering television signals" Percentage of completion bar gets to about 90% and then does not move, or entirely 100%, but the screen does not change, and if I try to return to the main menu screen, Windows Media Center crashes with the 'circle of rotation of loading"and does not change.

  I reinstalled Cyberlink Home Cinema after realization of the Medion TV improve extra that comes with it, but that didn't seem to help. The same problem persists.

  I have still the disk with the drivers on, but I'm not sure how to reinstall the drivers using the disk, because the record for drivers TV Tuner does she not an executable file, just a series of system files, application extensions and the DAT files.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  You must find the CTX driver version in the code of your tv card provider (poster Device Manager it under hardware ID in the Details tab) in the list of suppliers PDF in the FAQ section of the site Creatix. Then, you can download the right CTX driver from the support section. Is there a Windows 7 driver for my SAA7131 card.

• Windows Media Center starts on its own...

  I am running Vista 64 bit. and from these time, for some reason my media center to windows just starts up on its own with attention now. I checked the settings in the media center and its not programmed to automatically start from what I've seen. It starts when I open other programs, and when I close them. not all the time and not in any decernable model. What should I do?

  Hello James_CC,

  You can try and allows for stop in the MSConfig Startup tab:

  First, go to control panel, then AutoPlay. Then check the selections of videos, films, etc. and select not "Act".
  Try again and see if Windows Media Center always plays at startup.

  Then, you can stop Windows Media Center to start services.
  Type msconfig (System Configuration) and go to the Startup tab uncheck the Scriptures which has the ehome as path to the command, such as ehTray.exe. This will prevent MCE related services to start upward.

  I would also check the default associations:
  Open the control panel (all items view) and click the default programs.

  Click on the game to link your default programs.
  In the left column, select the program (highlighted) a list that you want to change the associations is default for file.
  To set all Assciations by default in the Program-
  NOTE: This will allow to associate the selected program by default used by Windows 7 to open all types of files and protocols it can open.
  Click set this program as default.
  Click Save to apply.
  Click OK.

  Please answer and give us an update to see whether or not these measures have helped.

• Downgrade to Windows XP Pro Sp2, x 86 Vista Home Premium 64-bit

  I tried, but I have not simply can't work with Windows Vista. I have to downgrade to Windows XP.

  I have a new laptop HP HDX X18t with a Core 2 Duo T9600 2.80 GHz processor (with the last correspondent chipset Intel?)
  4 GB ram ddr3
  Hewlett-Packard Bios F.20, 05/01/2008
  SM Bios version 2.4
  Hardware Abstraction Layer version = "6.0.6002.18005".

  It has the configuration of the hard drive dual option factory. I have removed the C: plant and it will save way later. I then moved
  the 2nd hard drive to the place where the used to be C:. Set startup to boot from the dvd drive for a cool XP with sp2 install.
  This laptop keeps me to install Windows XP, XP sp2, XP with sp3, XP even with Vista Theme.
  I have the factory supplied Vista Home Premium 64-bit dvd disc, and Yes, this will install flawlessly from start to finish
  without ANY problem at all. Hard drives are sata2. I tried to install XP with versions with special sata drivers
  included in the installation cd. No go. Even made several versions of XP sp2 with "simplified" in sata drivers
  the installation cd. Same thing. No go. (no go = blue screen of death)

  Here is the error message (blue screen of death) which continues to appear on all attempts of my XP installs.

  - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

  A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to avoid damage

  If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen,
  Restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
  the following steps:

  Check for viruses on your computer. Remove any newly installed
  hard drives or hard drive controllers. Check your hard drive
  to make sure that it is correctly configured and completed.
  Run CHKDSK /F to check the alteration of the hard drive, then
  Restart your computer.

  Well, at least I know the hard drive is properly configured and completed, cause the Vista

  any Vista os will install very easily and quickly on this laptop.
  I really don't want or intend to play with the bios, cause I could finish with a fried motherboard.
  I will listen to any solution/suggestion of someone who can help me with installing XP.
  Thank you in advance.

  YES.  He does eventually.

  I managed to install Windows XP Professional with SP2

  and pilots simplified sata attached on the installation disc.

• Windows Update that affect Internet for Vista Home Premium and Windows 7 connectivity

  Hi, I have two machines in one desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running under windows 7.

  After you apply the Windows updates a few days ago, I was not able to get internet connectivity using my Vista desktop computer.

  I was able to get a wireless on the Windows 7 machine, but to test the router I disabled wireless and tried a wired connection and it did not work.

  If I restore the installation of updates on both machines before the problem no longer exists, but it is clearly not a solution.

  Can someone please help, note that I have established that the router works and all the cables are OK. Thank you.

  I had a very similar experience. See the thread I posted and a solution I found:

  Here is the Vista Forums.

  You have to boot from the Windows 7 disc to do a clean install.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
