• Vista Media Center crashes when you watch live TV

  I have Windows Vista Ulitmate w / sp1 is installed. I use a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150 mce card (which works fine on my Windows XP startup). Yet whenever I start Live tv in media center it can run for a second or even a minimum (if I'm not looking to change the channel) and then blue screen, which is too fast to see coups. I tried to reinstall the card and with or without the software driver. Here is a report of the Event Viewer error. Thanks for any help you can give.

  the card and the drivers with and without the software. Here is a copy of a report of error 1001

  Hi Davidn4,

  Thanks for posting on answers.microsoft.com community forum.

  An event that I did research I found this instance occurred on another system, and this is what has been the instance;

  "

  Whenever you select live TV in Windows Media Center, it is as he tries to access the TV tuner card, but it times out. I have the Hauppauge WinTV-PVR150, Media Center Kit for the PCI slot. When she finally leaves tries to display the TV it says "Decoder error" and "video decoder is either defective or is not installed." Restart the computer or Windows Media Center. "

  "

  Because your system is not allowing the error before the reading of the reboot of the system.

  We download the Vista decoder for and then try it to run your process again.

  Here's a general link for set-top boxes, however, you can go to the website of cards and looking for the decoder from here or try a search online because it is decoder Vista.  Don't forget no decoders are not usually created by Microsoft, and we can not guarantee the results of third party downloads or the stability of your system after such a transfer, so be careful when downloading from other sites.

  Please let us know if there are any necessary information or if that solves the problem.

  Thanks again for posting on our forum.

  Kind regards

• Media Center crashes when starting a movie from netflix

  I have seen this problem with many X 64 now users of systems. Netflix in windows media center crashes when you click on the beginning of the game film. Seems to be a X 64 system problem. All the patches yet? I saw a large number of entries of "try this" but I haven't seen any which have resulted in a solution,
  Thanks for any help on what I would use netflix inside the WMC if possible.

  Hi all

  It is a known problem with Netflix in Windows Media Center. It is caused by the presence of a very long user agent string in Internet Explorer. For more information about the agent user channels, see the following MSDN article. There is currently no supported workaround by modifying manually the user agent string can cause problems of compatibility with some Web sites.

• Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

  I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

  Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

  I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

  What is Microsoft doing about this?

  Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

  Hello Nikki Locke,

  That's great, that you have found a solution. However, you can view the following information.

• Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

  Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

  You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

  Thanks for your help and your time

  Martyna

  Hello

  Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
  A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
  If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

  You should also check that you firewall settings.

• Windows 7 Media Center very slow to load the program guide

  I run a Fujitsu Esprimo E3521 Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz with 2 GB of Ram. I use a dual DVB - T2 tuner card black gold. The PC works as expected with all other tasks (Netflix, iPlayer, MyMovies for Media Center), but when I first load the program guide, it takes more than 30 seconds before the system displays the guide and becomes sensitive (later loading times are a little faster, unless the PC is in "standby", in which case I face the same deadline when you enter the program guide). There is no other applications running on the system (the PC directly in the MC boots). Once the guide is loaded, it works at normal speed (sometimes channel tuning may take longer than expected, but usually he settles in a few seconds).

  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. Recently, I reinstalled the operating system and for a few days the PC seems to be running OK, but he soon return to be incredibly slow, loading guide. (I also started to notice that it takes longer time to start playback of recorded assets).

  Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Hi Richard,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.  Let me help you with your concern.

  The information in the Guide is periodically downloaded from the Internet from your Guide list service provider. You are notified that "no data is available" in the Guide in the case either of the following things:

  • Windows Media Center cannot connect to the Internet and download the new Guide information for a long period of time, and the Guide information that was previously downloaded is corrupt or has expired. For more information, see solving problems with an Internet connection. (Applicable for Windows 7 alos article)
  • Guide information is not available for your location from the lists Guide service provider. For more information, see download updated Guide listings. (Applicable for Windows 7 alos article)

  You can see this Microsoft article and check if it helps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows/use-guide-Media-Center#1TC=Windows-7

  If the Guide appears blank and manually download the latest announcements of Guide doesn't seem to work, you may need to set up your TV signal again. To learn how, see set up a signal TV in Windows Media Center.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

  Hello
  
  You will remember to do recent changes on your computer before this problem?

  Method 1: Disabling Mcupdate.exe scheduled task.
  1. click on start.
  2. in the search box, type Task Scheduler.
  3. under programs, click Task Scheduler.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
  4. in the navigation pane, expand Task Scheduler Library, expand Microsoft, expand Windows and then click on Media Center.
  5. in the details pane, right-click right mcupdate and then click on disable.
  
  Method 2: Rebuild the Media Center data store and see if that can solve the problem. To do this, follow these steps:
  
  a. exit any running instance of Windows Media Center.
  b. remove the mcepg2 - 0.db file. By default, this file is located in the following location:
  %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mcepg2-0.DB
  To remove the file, follow these steps:
  i. click on start, type % systemdrive%\programdata\microsoft\ehome, and then press ENTER.
  II. in the details, click pane right mcepg2 - 0.db and then click on remove.
  III. click Yes to confirm that you want to move the file mcepg2 - 0.db to the trash.
  This file will be automatically created once you restart windows media center.
  I hope this helps.
