  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • Windows media center program guide?

    yesterday, I had to reinstall windows vista from the ground upward. I went to set up my tv and tv tuner/cable program guide in order to record and watch TV on my computer. Everything went through everything as before until I opened the guide to record programs at future dates. I noticed that the program guide was off of 3 hours. Example: the news on showed 23:00 to 20:00 on the guide and so on. I reinstalled, changed the area and zip codes to see if it worked, and nothing has changed. I disabled the box of cable/reset of the top box/internet connection / computer also. I am up to date on all windows downloads that are needed. I just do not know where to go from here. If anyone has had this problem and if yes, how do solve you this problem? Thanks in advance for any help of suggestions that I have not already tried is grateful.

    Hi nancyturnbaugh,

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

    What is the time showing correctly on the PC?

    If it is adjusted to the correct time zone?

    Have you checked the time in the BIOS?

    I have the feeling, the time zone is not set correctly (example: the list demonstrate PST time even if you follow IS). However try to save these files and restart the computer and check the media library.

    1 close Media Center
    2 click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd
    3 run the command regsvr32.exe atl.dll
    4 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer
    5. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched
    6 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer
    7. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr
    8 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer
    9. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe/regserver
    10. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer
    11. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe/regserver
    12 restart Media Center

    Have you tried to contact the cable company?

    Other users have had the same problem and it was fixed by the cable company. I suggest that you try to contact first, and make sure that everything is correct on their end.

    I hope this helps.

    Kind regards.

  • Why has Windows Media Center Program Guide, an expiration date and is it possible to extend the updates of the information on the TV program?

    When I watched the recorded TV programs, I realized that no programs have been registered since May 1, 2012.

    When you open the program guide settings (settings:, TV: ProgramGuide) and watched part of the' Guide' he said start from 01/01/01, end date: 2012-05-01. So that explains why I get no updates.

  • Windows Media Player is not installed correctly

    whenever I click on a video, I get the message "the file wmploc.dll has a version number of 12.0.7601.18840 where 12.0.7601.17514 has been inspected.

    Windows Media Player is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled.

    You want to install the player from the Microsoft website. »

    When I click Yes. Need me on the Microsoft site, but it does not show me where to find the Windows Media Player program. I have downloaded the two files that are recommended, but none of them are for my machine. any help would be great. Thank you

    Unless you have one of the versions Windows 7 N/K/KN special then these downloads are, as you say, not for you.

    For all the normal editions of Windows 7, WMP is essential and there is no download.

    Judging from your description of the problem, I think you need "unload" and then "recharge" WMP.  It's practically the equivalent of uninstalling and then reinstalling.

    1 unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    This should fix the problem.

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.
