  I have Vista Version 6.0.6002.18030 (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) SP2 installed during an automatic update.  This box is only used as a Media Center

  Hello Clement,

  Thanks much for the reply.
  I had already downloaded the Tuner card driver on the site yesterday and installed (this is the same version I already had, but he did not seem wrong to re - install).  No change.
  I really don't understand well enough codecs!  -are you making allusion to the East no doubt not that the encoding of the input signal software cannot do its job properly?  Are the part of the tuner driver codecs? I could not see them on the website of the tuner (http://www.newmagic.com.au/Support/Hauppauge_Vista_Drivers.html)
  Can you please point me in the right direction for the codec pack (btw, I though 'codec packs' were notoriously bad news! and since I recently made a new facility would be not all right codecs be there that they must have been before when everything worked well?)
  I have a chart integrated 'card' on the ASUS P5E - VM HDMI, an Intel GMA x 3500 and here too I have the latest driver from the Intel web site.

• Computer crashes whenever I try to access Windows Media Center

  Original title: windows media center problems

  my computer freezes whenever I have attempt to access windows media Center and I can play downloaded vids

  Hi atthire,

  1. When did you start to question?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. you receive messages or error codes?

  4. what type of video files you try to play?

  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 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:

  You try to run a SFC scan to find and fix missing or corrupt system files.

  You can read the following article to launch the SFC scan:

• Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

  Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

  I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
  "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

  I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

  My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

  I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

  I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

  I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

  The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

  On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

  Any help would be really appreciated!

• Awakened from his sleep system update Windows Media Center

  Hello

  Directly to the question:

  I have a problem that of a regular windows media center update wake my computer from sleep every day.
  This update can be found as a scheduled task in Task Scheduler. The problem is, that it cannot be edited or deleted.

  If I try and edit the task by unchecking the choice of her "wake the computer to run this task", I get an error message:

  An error has occurred for task mcupdate_scheduled. Error message: support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

  If I try and I remove the task completely, I get a similar error message:

  Support for transactions in the specified resource manager is not started or has been closed because of an error

  I already tried the following suggestions to resolve this problem:

  Fsutil resource setautoreset true c:\ cmd break-in.

  Removal of the C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR transaction logs

  These did not work.

  I guess Microsoft is not willing to pay my extra electricity bills? ;)

• Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Media Center does not work

  After you activate Windows Home Server media sharing, I went to my 64 bit Windows 7 machines and tried to launch Windows Media Center.  After you run through the configuration of the connector of WMC, reboot, and then clicking Windows Media Center, I get:

  "Windows Media Center has stopped working".

  He said that it is looking for a solution, but after a few seconds, he goes and does not return.

  I never have a chance to fix anything, or even see if it connects or not.

  Any ideas?

• Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

  Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

  Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

  The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

  It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

  What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

  I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

  Thank you and best regards!

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  I would have you refer to the article below:
