    Hi, Matt.
    You can't 'install' Media Center - either you have it, or you don't have.
    Media Center is included in all versions of Windows 7 Home Premium on-site (except for certain markets (Europe and the Korea come to mind), where it is not included by default (but there is a pack for this.))
    If you have the Starter or Home Basic, you must make an Express upgrade to Home Premium (or higher).

    I have HP slimline is now Windows 7 and Vista. When I upgraded to Windows 7, I did not go off Homegroup. My Vixs tuner worked fine for 2 years. Recently, may 2011, I decided to start the homegroup; What a mistake!

    My Media Center said that I had no TV tuner.
    After much research, I found this solution.
    In windows 7 go to "Administrative Tools" and launch 'Services '.
    Scroll down to "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" and under "connect as" column, make sure that setting is 'Local System' and not 'Network Service '. The "Startup Type" value in the manual. not automatic.
    This fixed my issue.

    According to the description, you need to know more about the Tv tuner and tuner Radio (FM) for Windows Media Center.

    To listen to the FM radio in Media Center, you will need a tuner FM connected to or installed on your computer and an antenna connected to the tuner to receive a signal. FM tuners are very similar to TV tuners in fact, many TV tuner cards have a built in FM tuner.

  • If I remove windows media player windows Media Center always works

    I never use windows media player but I use XP Media Center Edition 2005 to record TV programs, I have watch on a different media player.

    Can I remove Media PLayer without harming the Media Center?

    Thank you very much James

    You can't really uninstall Media Player from all current versions of Windows, it is a central element.  It is best to not not muck on that.  Also notes that some readers of third part depend on Media Player components working properly, ask only trouble if you muck on this.

  • I have Windows XP Home Edition w/service pack 3. Windows Media Player will play CD but won't play DVD. What I can do. I am a beginner on the computer.

    I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

    FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
    DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

    You can buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    Info about DVD decoders:
    Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

    Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
    media players:

    VLC Media Player

    (works on XP/Vista/7)

    Or... you can try to download and install one of the
    Following codec packs.

    (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
    point before installing any software or updates).

    * Proceed at your own risk *.

    (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

    Can you help me run SP2 on my computer?

    Hi again.  Question: what would these updates have been?  If you don't remember, open Windows Update, click on "see the installed updates" and more recently installed report with updates.

    As I already said (maybe bad), Windows Update not immediately offers you Service Pack 1.  There are quite a few Windows updates that must be installed before WU will offer you the service pack.
    There is also some (including some audio drivers Realtek) drivers that are known to cause problems with the installation of SP1; Therefore, WU do offer you the update until these drivers are updated.

    Here is an MS article explaining why (and bugs):
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343/en-us

    I would like to repeat that the three updates, I mentioned in my first post are prerequisites for SP1.  Theyneed to be installed first and in the order displayed.
    Again, check your Windows Update history for these three KB numbers.  If you don't see one or several of them installed, you can find with a quick Google search.  ;)

    Kind regards

  • Windows Media Center won't play video, but Windows Media Player will be?

    I'm reading a video .avi with the xvid codec. I installed the codec earlier and it plays fine in Windows Media Player, but when I try to play in Windows Media Center, it indicates that one or more codecs are required to play this file, but they cannot be found. I know I would just watch with Windows Media Player instead of Media Center, but I want to watch it on my Media Center extension (my Xbox). I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit. Why does Windows Media Player with this codec and Windows Media Center not work? How can I solve this problem?

    -Slick05_1

    Hi Slick05_1,

    Thanks for the replies on the forum.

    Given that the Microsoft Vista Media Center and XBOX do not play the files suggest it would need to be a codec which solves the problem or maybe file conversion which would solve the problems you are experiencing.  Since the codecs for files is not something written by Microsoft, we do not have the information for that in our system.

    What I suggest is to go to your search engine preferred and in the search line and typing "is possible to play VLC on XBOX.

    WARNING:

    Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    What I suggest also done an online search using your favorite search engine for "play MKV files in Vista x 64 Media Center" to find whether there may be suggestions about codecs or these codecs created by other organizations then Microsoft.

    Please let us know if you are able to get this to work for you.

    Best regards

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.
